Overview

Keyword searches on Taobao often mix official products, accessories, and lookalike listings behind the same buying intent. Collecting those search cards in one place makes it easier to review the visible assortment without losing the titles, shops, and images needed for a closer look.

This collection keeps listing details together with the search keyword that produced them. It is a starting point for assortment research and price-text comparison, not a replacement for opening a product page or confirming purchase conditions with a shop.

Data notes

The data describes product cards collected from Taobao keyword search. 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. You can start collection from a specified page; if omitted, collection starts from page 1.

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

Missing brand, review count, platform, or listing status values 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 catalog of official Taobao products or a quotation for a particular order.

What the results look like

Each row represents a product card from Taobao keyword search. Quoted Price and Sales count values are text, not converted numbers.

Additional columns include Image URL, Shop ID, Collection time, and List position.

Use cases

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

Scope and boundaries

One keyword per run; the requested collection target is 1-2,000 products, not a strict result limit. Results are returned in complete source pages of about 48 products and may include fewer or more than requested. Fetch protection is 110 pages / 2,200 records; reaching this capacity does not establish completeness.

  • Good for
  • Find Taobao search listings for keyword-based product research and assortment comparison.
  • Do not use for
  • Do not use this for product-page details, reviews, guaranteed real-time quotes, 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.

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.)
