1688 API and data tools
Call 2 tools for 1688 through one API.
About this platform
The 1688 API on Toolswitch covers 1688, Alibaba's wholesale marketplace, with two tools: search wholesale product listings by keyword, and fetch the public product detail of a listing by its item ID. Both tools come from a third-party data provider, Just One API. Your agent calls them with one Toolswitch key over HTTP or MCP, so you don't need to apply for your own 1688 Open Platform access or open a provider account. Both are priced per successful call, and this page shows the current price and success rate of each tool.

Frequently asked questions
- What can the 1688 tools do?
- There are two tools. "Search 1688 wholesale products by keyword" takes one required parameter, keyword, and returns matching wholesale listings. "1688 product details by item id" takes one required parameter, itemId, and returns the public detail of that listing. In usage feedback recorded in the catalog (September–October 2026), search results included unit prices in CNY and sales counts, and detail results included SKU names, price tiers and the minimum order quantity.
- How do I call them?
- Use one Toolswitch key for both tools, either over HTTP or by connecting Toolswitch to your agent as an MCP server. Both tools are GET requests: pass keyword to the search tool, or itemId to the detail tool.
- How am I billed?
- Per call. Both tools are priced per successful call, and the provider's rate card says failed calls are not billed. You pay the provider price plus the Toolswitch service fee where one applies; this page shows the current price.
- How is this different from the 1688 Open Platform?
- Toolswitch is a third-party access layer: these tools are run by a third-party data provider, and you call them with your Toolswitch key. You don't need to apply for 1688 Open Platform access yourself. If you need something only the official platform offers, check 1688's own documentation.
