Taobao Products Scraper
Taobao and Tmall best sellers with yuan prices, shops and ranks
What it does
Give it Chinese or English product words, a Taobao category id, a shop or an item id, and it returns the products Taobao ranks as best sellers and top rated: full title, price in yuan, promotion price, shop, category path, main image and rank. Prices can also come back converted into 25 currencies at the day's rate. Item details add shipping origin, seller service scores and a recent review. Each keyword reaches about 40 products, because Taobao's own pages stop there.

Common questions
What does one product row contain? +
Title, price in yuan, promotion price, shop name, category path, main image, rank and the keyword that found it. With item details on, the row also gets ships_from, whether the seller is a Tmall store, the three DSR service scores, shop_opened_at, shop_item_count, review_count_min and review_highlights.
How many products can one keyword return? +
About 40 different ones. Taobao's best seller page holds 20 and its top rated page up to 40, and the site cannot be asked for another order beyond those 60, so the price and rating sorts only reshuffle what was read. Split a broad word into narrower ones, or add category ids.
Do I need a Taobao account or cookies? +
No. Everything is read from the keyword, category and item pages Taobao publishes at www.taobao.com/list/, the part its robots.txt opens to crawlers. There is no login step, no cookie jar and no browser, and a link you paste is only read for the id or word it carries.
What exactly am I charged for? +
A product costs $0.00299 on the Apify free plan and $0.00199 on Business (Gold). The flat $0.005 run fee lands only once the first product is stored, so a run that finds nothing is not billed at all. Item details cost $0.003 or $0.002 more, and repeat products are free.
Are the converted prices what Taobao charges? +
No. price_converted and promo_price_converted hold the yuan figure converted at the day's European Central Bank rate, with fx_rate and fx_date on every row. Taobao's own Hong Kong and Taiwan dollar prices are kept separately in price_hkd and price_twd.
