FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What image formats and URLs are supported for 1688 reverse image search?

You can pass any public product photo URL (JPEG, PNG, WebP) from Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, AliExpress, or Taobao into imageUrls, or upload an image directly in the Apify Console.

Q: How does AI visual similarity ranking work?

The engine submits your product photo directly to 1688's visual search index (拍立淘) and returns matching factory offers ranked by visual match confidence, 90-day order volume, and repeat buyer rate.

Q: Does it extract verified OEM factory badges and MOQ pricing?

Yes. Each visual match includes wholesale RMB price tiers, minimum order quantities (MOQ), 90-day transaction counts, province/city factory location, and verified manufacturer credentials.

Q: Is there a synchronous REST API for real-time app integration?

Yes. In addition to bulk cloud runs on Apify ($0.0015/match), you can call our synchronous 1688 REST Gateway on RapidAPI ($0 Free / $9 Pro) for sub-second responses.
