Who Is This For

E-commerce researchers analyzing China's group-buying market
Dropshippers finding trending products at factory prices
Market analysts tracking pricing and sales trends
Supply chain professionals sourcing from Chinese manufacturers
Data scientists studying consumer behavior patterns

Technical Details

Uses Playwright to render Pinduoduo's React SPA (mobile H5 site)
Emulates iPhone Safari for mobile-optimized pages
Blocks unnecessary resources (images, fonts, trackers) for faster loading
Built-in scroll handling for infinite-scroll product lists
Automatic CAPTCHA detection with debug screenshots

Tips

Use Chinese keywords for best results (e.g. "手机壳" not "phone case")
Residential proxies are strongly recommended — datacenter IPs get blocked quickly
Set includeDetails: false for faster runs when you only need basic info
Keep maxItems reasonable (50-100) to avoid triggering rate limits

⚠️ Known Limitation

Pinduoduo currently requires phone number + SMS verification for all mobile H5 pages. This means:

The scraper may be redirected to a login page
A valid Pinduoduo session/cookie is needed for full functionality
See test results for details

We're actively exploring workarounds (Temu international version, API reverse engineering, etc.).
