How this service works
Pay-per-call data & tool APIs
Output
Returns a JSON object with meta (run time, item count, settlement status) and a results array containing the current offer state (price tiers, MOQ, stock, title, supplier details, promotions, currency), the previous snapshot (prior priceMin and offerId), a list of changedFields, a changeType flag, timestamps, and an evidence URL linking directly to the 1688 offer page.
Example use cases
Wholesale price drop alert
“Keep an eye on offer 1000406623486 on 1688 — let me know the moment the priceMin drops below 4.0 CNY or any new promotions appear. The watch name is 'electronics-bulk-watch'.”
MOQ threshold sourcing check
“I'm about to place a bulk order — can you check 1688 offer 1000406623486 via my 'main-supplier-watch' and confirm what the current minimum order quantity and price tiers are right now?”
Competitor sourcing intelligence
“Pull the latest state of 1688 offer 1000406623486 using the watch 'comp-monitor' and show me what fields have changed compared to the previous snapshot so I can see if our competitor's supplier updated their terms.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.timzinin.com/api/china-1688-supplier-monitorWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time change detection on a specific 1688.com wholesale offer rather than a broad product search. It is ideal for supply chain agents that need to detect price drift, MOQ changes, or new promotions on a known supplier listing, especially when you already have an offer ID and want a structured diff between current and previous state. It is not suited for discovering new suppliers or searching 1688 by keyword.
Side effects
- Offer ID not found on 1688 — returns found:false with an error message
- Partial data retrieval — partial:true with partialReason explaining what was incomplete
- Network or scrape timeout — run_ms may be high and results may be empty
- Demo mode fallback — isDemo:true if live data unavailable, returning synthetic example data
- Payment not settled — settled:false if x402 micropayment failed
