🇨🇳 China Wholesale Scraper Toolkit

A complete toolkit for extracting product and supplier data from China’s top wholesale platforms. Three pre-built Apify Actors covering the entire B2B sourcing ecosystem — from small commodities to industrial manufacturing.

🛠️ Tools Overview

Platform	Apify Actor	Best For	Users	Runs
Yiwugo.com	jungle_intertwining/yiwugo-scraper	Small commodities, Yiwu market data	2	9
DHgate.com	jungle_intertwining/dhgate-scraper	Dropshipping, small orders, buyer reviews	2	211
Made-in-China.com	jungle_intertwining/made-in-china-scraper	B2B industrial products, verified manufacturers	—	—

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Apify CLI (Recommended)

npm install -g apify-cli

# Yiwugo — China's largest offline wholesale market
apify call jungle_intertwining/yiwugo-scraper \
  -i '{"searchKeywords": ["bluetooth speaker"], "maxPages": 3}'

# DHgate — Cross-border e-commerce & dropshipping
apify call jungle_intertwining/dhgate-scraper \
  -i '{"searchKeywords": ["wireless earbuds"], "maxPages": 5, "shipTo": "us"}'

# Made-in-China — B2B industrial sourcing
apify call jungle_intertwining/made-in-china-scraper \
  -i '{"searchKeywords": ["CNC machine", "solar panel"], "maxPages": 3}'

Option 2: Apify API

const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

// Run any scraper programmatically
const run = await client.actor('jungle_intertwining/yiwugo-scraper').call({
  searchKeywords: ['LED lights', 'phone case'],
  maxPages: 5,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} products`);

Option 3: Run Locally (Example Code)

Each platform has a standalone example repository:

• yiwugo-scraper-example — Node.js example with Cheerio
• dhgate-scraper-example — Node.js example with __INITIAL_STATE__ parsing
• made-in-china-scraper-example — Node.js CheerioCrawler example

🔍 Use Cases

Price Comparison Across Platforms

// Find the cheapest bluetooth speakers across all three platforms
const yiwugo = await scrapeYiwugo('bluetooth speaker');
const dhgate = await scrapeDHgate('bluetooth speaker');
const mic = await scrapeMadeInChina('bluetooth speaker');

const allProducts = [
  ...yiwugo.map(p => ({ ...p, platform: 'Yiwugo' })),
  ...dhgate.map(p => ({ ...p, platform: 'DHgate' })),
  ...mic.map(p => ({ ...p, platform: 'Made-in-China' })),
];

// Sort by price, filter verified suppliers
const deals = allProducts
  .filter(p => p.price && p.supplierName)
  .sort((a, b) => parseFloat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price));

💡 Examples

All example scripts live in examples/. Install dependencies first:

cd examples && npm install

Cross-Platform Price Comparison (Node.js)

The cross-platform-price-comparison.js script runs all three scrapers for the same keyword, merges results, and prints a sorted comparison table with per-platform stats. Exports results to JSON.

APIFY_TOKEN=your_token node examples/cross-platform-price-comparison.js "bluetooth speaker"

Cross-Platform Price Comparison (Python)

Same functionality in Python with CSV + JSON export:

pip install apify-client
APIFY_TOKEN=your_token python3 examples/cross-platform-price-comparison.py "bluetooth speaker"

Export to CSV

The export-comparison-csv.js script runs all three scrapers and exports a clean CSV with normalized USD prices — ready for Excel/Google Sheets analysis.

APIFY_TOKEN=your_token node examples/export-comparison-csv.js "wireless earbuds"
# → comparison-wireless-earbuds.csv

Supplier Ranking

The supplier-ranking.js script ranks suppliers by a composite score based on price competitiveness (0-40 pts), product variety (0-30 pts), and trust signals (0-30 pts). Helps identify the best suppliers across all three platforms.

APIFY_TOKEN=your_token node examples/supplier-ranking.js "bluetooth speaker"
# → supplier-ranking-bluetooth-speaker.json
