FAQ
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: Can I search using English keywords, or should I use Chinese keywords?
Both work! Chinese keywords (e.g. 手机壳, 蓝牙耳机, 女装) provide the deepest catalog coverage on Taobao and Tmall, while common English product keywords (e.g. phone case, wireless earbuds, smart watch) are also supported.
Q: Why are salesCount or full SKU inventory tables empty on some items?
Because domestic item.taobao.com blocks unauthenticated requests with login walls, this scraper operates 100% cookieless via official international catalog endpoints with zero login or QR verification required, where reviewCount and sortBy: 'sales' serve as public popularity metrics.
Q: What is the difference between queries/shopUrls and itemUrls?
Queries and shopUrls ($0.0015/item) run in fast catalog mode (~2 seconds), returning full 60-character product titles, CNY/HKD/TWD prices, seller DSR scores, reviewTags, and up to 5 permanent HD photos. Direct itemUrls lookups ($0.0040/item) fetch the item detail page with featured review excerpts, shipping location, and category breadcrumbs.
