Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a Taobao account, Alipay, or a Chinese phone number? No, absolutely not. The actor operates 100% cookieless and anonymously. You never have to register an account, scan QR codes, or verify SMS codes.

Q: What is the difference between taobao_retail and mainland_wholesale in catalogSource? taobao_retail (Default — Taobao & Tmall Retail via world.taobao.com) searches official retail Taobao & Tmall consumer shops and supports scrapeDetails: true (50+ full detail fields including 3-axis DSR scores, real customer reviews with buyer videos, reviewTags, full HD image galleries, categoryPath, and multi-currency CNY/SGD/HKD/TWD pricing) as well as itemUrls. mainland_wholesale searches the Mainland factory & B2B wholesale supply chain at ~30 items/sec (up to 10,000 items/run), returning tierPricing volume discounts, repurchaseRate, isSuperFactory, and verified manufacturer profiles.

Q: Can I scrape a list of direct product links (itemUrls)? Yes! Paste any Taobao (item.taobao.com), Tmall (detail.tmall.com), or World Taobao (world.taobao.com) product URLs or numeric item IDs into itemUrls or startUrls. Products listed on Taobao's global export catalog return full 50+ field details; offline or mainland-only restricted items return a clean status notice (UNAVAILABLE) at $0.00 charged.

Q: Will the product photo links expire or break in Shopify / WooCommerce? No. Our actor automatically unblocks and converts all image URLs to permanent, master-resolution links on img.alicdn.com so they work reliably in Shopify, WooCommerce, Excel, and WordPress without 403 Forbidden errors.

Q: How many products can I scrape for free? With Apify's default $5.00 free monthly credit, you can extract over 3,330 products completely free every month at $0.0015/item ($1.50 per 1,000 items).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I filter for only Verified Suppliers or Trade Assurance sellers? Yes. Filter toggles allow you to restrict results to Verified Gold Suppliers with Trade Assurance protection.

Q: Can I scrape direct product detail URLs? Yes, input either search keywords or arrays of specific product detail URLs.

Q: Does it extract sample order pricing? Yes, sample prices and lead times are parsed into dedicated fields when provided by the vendor.
