📖 Overview

1688.com (阿里巴巴批发网) is Alibaba Group's premier domestic B2B marketplace. It is the real, direct manufacturing engine behind Alibaba.com, AliExpress, Temu, Shein, Taobao, and Amazon FBA — hosting over 10 million Chinese factories, raw manufacturers, and industrial suppliers.

However, extracting data from 1688 has historically been a massive headache for Western brands and sourcing teams:

Mandatory Chinese mobile number (+86) SMS verification and QR code login walls.
Dynamic Alibaba mtop token encryption (_m_h5_tk, tfstk) and anti-bot challenges.
Chinese character GBK encoding that corrupts URLs and keyword search terms.
Complex nested variation trees and pricing tiers hidden behind authenticated AJAX calls.

1688 Wholesale Scraper by UnitBytes completely solves these procurement roadblocks. Powered by an autonomous extraction engine, this Actor extracts up to 10,000 items per run with 10 parallel workers — delivering clean, spreadsheet-ready factory data into Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets with zero account or cookie setup needed.

✨ Key Features

🏭 4 Specialized Wholesale Sourcing Channels: Query specialized 1688 channels at the source:
- 找工厂 (Direct Factory / OEM & ODM) — filters out middlemen and trading agents.
- 超级工厂 (Super Factory) — restricted to Alibaba's elite certified mega-plants.
- 跨境专供 (Cross-Border Export) — tailored for Amazon FBA, Temu, and TikTok Shop sellers with CE/FCC/RoHS compliance.
- 现货批发 (Ready-to-Ship Spot Market) — in-stock items ready to ship in 24–48 hours.
💰 Tiered Bulk Pricing Brackets: Captures the full volume price schedule (e.g. 2–99 pcs, 100–499 pcs, 500+ pcs) for accurate cost modeling and supplier negotiation.
📦 Amazon FBA Packaging Intelligence: Extracts physical package weights in grams (weightGrams) and physical dimensions (lengthCm, widthCm, heightCm, volumeCm3) per individual SKU variant to accurately calculate international freight and FBA fulfillment fees.
🎨 Complete SKU Matrix with Spec Photos: Collects every variation (color, size, packaging) along with variant-specific pricing, real-time stock levels, and matching high-res product photos.
🛡️ Factory Due Diligence Badges: Verify manufacturing capability instantly with Super Factory (超级工厂) flags, SGS / BV third-party on-site audits (深度验厂), and repeat customer Repurchase Rates (回头率).
🔄 Stateful Resumption Engine (resumptionToken): Checkpoints pagination state so you can resume multi-page scrapes seamlessly with 0 duplicate products across runs.
⚡ High Concurrency & Speed: 10 parallel workers extract thousands of listings without crashing or slowing down.

💡 Practical Business Use Cases

1. 📦 Amazon FBA Private Label Sourcing

Calculate landed product costs accurately before placing production orders. Combine extracted physical SKU package weights (grams) and dimensions with bulk volume tier prices to model international air/sea freight and Amazon FBA fulfillment size tiers.

2. 🛍️ Shopify, TikTok Shop & Dropshipping Product Discovery

Uncover trending viral products before they reach Western marketplaces. Sort by total sales volume (salesVolume / Booked Orders) and enrich your product catalogs with high-res photo galleries, SKU matrices, and product demo videos.

3. 🏭 Direct Factory Procurement & Supply Chain Auditing

Cut out export trading companies, domestic commission agents, and unnecessary markups. Filter strictly for verified Super Factories (超级工厂) and facilities with verified third-party on-site factory audits (深度验厂).

4. 📈 Competitor Price Benchmarking & Wholesale Arbitrage

Benchmark real manufacturing costs in China against retail prices on Amazon, eBay, Mercari, and Walmart. Gain immediate leverage during price negotiations by showing suppliers their competitors' domestic 1688 wholesale prices.

5. 🏪 Yiwu Market Small Commodities Sourcing

Directly target Zhejiang and Yiwu wholesale markets to source novelties, home organizers, stationery, and small accessories at fraction-of-a-cent factory rates.

🔍 Perplexity

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a 1688 account, Alipay, or Chinese phone number?

No. The scraper operates entirely autonomously without requiring an account, phone number (+86), or session cookies.

Can I search using English keywords?

Yes. Standard English terms (e.g. phone case, yoga pants, hoodie, earbuds, smart watch) are supported. Sourcing teams often also search with native Chinese product terms (e.g. 手机壳, 运动裤, 蓝牙耳机) for maximum supplier discovery.

How do I use the Amazon FBA packaging weights and dimensions?

Every record in Full Detail mode includes the physical weightGrams and dimensions (lengthCm, widthCm, heightCm) per variant. Use these numbers directly in your Amazon FBA revenue calculator to determine exact shipping and fulfillment fees.

What is the difference between Super Factory and Factory Inspection?

Super Factory (超级工厂): Alibaba's highest verified certification tier awarded to large-scale manufacturers with substantial annual revenue, modern production lines, and direct factory management.
Factory Inspection (深度验厂): Facilities audited physically on-site by accredited third-party inspection firms (such as SGS or Bureau Veritas) to verify worker counts, factory square footage, and production machinery.

How does pagination resumption work?

Every exported item and run summary includes an encrypted resumptionToken. If you want to continue a massive scrape without re-extracting previous items, simply pass the token into your next run's input.
