Question

What data can 1688 Bestselling Products provide, and how might I use it?

AI answer

This API returns products from a 1688 weekly or monthly bestseller chart. You can search by a Simplified Chinese keyword and choose the chart period, sorting, and filters.

Data category	Documented fields	What the values mean
Chart results	`products`, `total`	The returned product list and reported record count.
Product identity	`offerId`, `asin`, `title`, `asinUrl`, `imageUrl`	Product identifiers, title, listing link, and image link when available.
Buying terms	`price`, `consignPrice`, `currency`, `unit`, `quantityBegin`, `quantityPrices`	Wholesale and consignment prices, their currency and unit, minimum batch size, and price range.
Sales indicators	`salesOrderCount`, `salesQuantity`, `estimatedSalesAmount`, `dataType`	Orders, pieces sold, and estimated sales for the returned weekly or monthly statistical period.
Supplier and category	`company`, `shopId`, `shopUrl`, `levelName`	Store identity, store link, and category level.
Fulfilment	`deliveryTime`	Reported shipping time.

Compare phone-case products by orders versus units sold on a selected monthly chart.
- Prompt example: “On the latest monthly phone-case chart, show the top ten listings by order count and the top ten by units sold. Which products appear in only one top-ten list? Include each listing URL and the reported period.”
Find bestselling items whose wholesale price and minimum batch size fit a sourcing budget.
- Prompt example: “I can spend at most ¥3,000 on my first phone-case order. From the current chart, find listings priced at ¥15 or less per unit with a minimum batch of 100 or fewer, and calculate the minimum merchandise spend from the returned price and quantity.”
Review a weekly chart for newer products, then open promising asinUrl listings and store links.
- Prompt example: “Check this week’s chart for newly listed insulated tumblers. Give me five candidates with their title, units sold, minimum order quantity, image and listing URL so I can review the actual products.”
Compare stores behind high-selling products in a category before contacting suppliers.
- Prompt example: “For the highest-selling yoga mats in the current category chart, group the listings by store. Show the store link, how many charted products each store has, and their reported sales quantities so I can decide whom to contact.”

Fields are optional, and sales amounts are estimates for the selected period.
