Overview

Keyword searches on 1688 can reveal several product styles, materials and listing variants behind the same buying need. Bringing those listings together makes it easier to review the available assortment without losing the original product titles and links needed for a closer look.

This collection pairs listing details with the search context that produced them. It provides a starting point for sourcing research and comparison, rather than replacing product-page checks or a conversation with a supplier about an eventual purchase.

Data notes

The data describes product listings collected from 1688 keyword searches. Results are delivered in ascending collection-time order, which is separate from the sorting used to select products during collection. Repeated product identifiers are consolidated across the delivered pages.

Product titles, listing status, price text and sales count text retain their source values. Price and Promotional price are not converted into another currency, and no assumptions are made about taxes, delivery charges or purchasing conditions. The sales measurement period and the time zone of Collection time are not specified.

Missing area, seller and shop details remain missing rather than being inferred from a product title. A blank preview does not assert that the corresponding source value is an empty string. The collection should not be treated as a verified supplier directory or a quotation for a particular order.

What the results look like

Each row represents a product listing. The examples retain the original titles; quoted Price and Sales count values are text, not converted numbers.

Additional columns include Product URL, Image URL, Promotional price and Collection time.

Use cases

  • Compare an assortment: group Product title by recurring material or design terms, then use Product ID and Product URL to inspect the distinct listings behind each group.
  • Review displayed pricing: compare Price with Promotional price for listings with similar Product title wording, keeping the original price text and checking purchase conditions before drawing conclusions.
  • Prepare a sourcing shortlist: combine Keyword, Product title and Image URL to identify relevant candidates, and retain Collection time so later reviews can distinguish the collection snapshots.

Scope and boundaries

One keyword per run; the requested collection target is 1–2,000 products, not a strict result limit. Whole-page collection may return fewer or more products. Fetch protection is 110 pages / 2,200 records; reaching this capacity does not establish completeness.

  • Good for
  • Find 1688 listings for keyword-based product sourcing and comparison.
  • Do not use for
  • Do not use this for guaranteed real-time quotes, complete supplier profiles or a strictly capped result count.

Failure handling

Failure and retry behavior declared by the developer. We recommend including it in your system prompt when integrating.

  1. 1If submission times out or its outcome is unknown, check the existing run before submitting again: repeated submissions can create separate jobs.
  2. 2For rejected input or credentials, correct the input or access configuration before retrying.
  3. 3An empty result does not by itself mean that the source explicitly reported no data. Partial success may yield an incomplete collection; reaching the fetch protection capacity also requires a completeness check.

Integration

This App can be integrated via MCP, API, SDK, or file export. All channels share the same capabilities and pricing. Every request authenticates with the Authorization: Bearer header using an API key (long-lived, created in the Data Hub Console); MCP clients can also sign in with OAuth, no key required. More options such as CLI and Skill are on the way. This App runs asynchronously and can be canceled midway: After you cancel, the run stops. Records already delivered are kept and billed.

With the MCP (Model Context Protocol), you can call this App directly from AI clients like Claude and Cursor. Pick your client and auth mode, then copy the config below.

Client config

Replace the value after Bearer with your long-lived API key. Works in any client, CI, or headless environment.

  "mcpServers": {

      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-v2.octoparse.com?pin=super_ig/alibaba1688-keyword-search",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" }
    }
  }

Let AI set it up for you

Don't want to edit configs by hand? Copy the install prompt and paste it into any AI client. It will complete the setup its own way. (The prompt asks the AI to request your API key from you, so credentials never end up in chat history or shared configs.)
