The 1688 plugin turns 1688.com - China’s B2B wholesale marketplace, where factories and wholesalers sell in yuan and by quantity - into structured JSON. It is two endpoints:
  • /marketplace/1688-search - a keyword search (Chinese or English): offer id, title, URL, images, the price in yuan with the quantity price ladder (priceTiers), units sold, repurchase rate, service and promotion tags, a sponsored flag and the supplier - company name, shop URL, years on 1688, province and city, factory and business inspection, super factory flag and trade-service scores.
  • /marketplace/1688-product - one offer by id or link in full: status, brand, category, price ladder or per-SKU prices, prices before a promotion, unit, minimum order, stock, units sold, the SKU matrix with every SKU’s price and stock, attributes, images, video, shipping origin and dispatch promise, service guarantees, the buyer rating summary and the supplier.
Text comes back in Chinese, as 1688 publishes it, and prices are in yuan (CNY). No 1688 account, login or API key is involved. For the international B2B site, see the Alibaba plugin.
Try it in the dashboard first: app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins. You get a live results view plus a copy-paste snippet.

Response

Paging fields: nextPage is the next 1688 page not yet returned (pass it as page to continue) and hasMore says whether there is one. When max_results ends inside a page, the rest of that page is not returned (droppedFromLastPage), so ask in multiples of 60 to get every offer.

Offer

To pass a link instead of an id, use the url option, e.g. su.alibaba1688_product(url="https://detail.1688.com/offer/735353578254.html") in Python. A removed or unknown offer returns 404.
