What to Know About Scraping Taobao
Taobao requires login for many pages and uses strong anti-bot protection, so volume and frequency are always agreed in advance. Product titles and parameters are in Chinese; translation can be added as a separate step. For many sourcing projects it is enough to collect a defined list of item URLs regularly, rather than whole categories.
Delivery Formats
Taobao data is delivered as Excel, CSV, JSON or XML files, or through an API. You can order a one-time export or regular updates, daily or weekly, for the categories and fields you choose.
