## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search Chinese e-commerce platforms (Taobao consumer market or 1688 wholesale/B2B) for product listings, pricing, or supplier discovery. Prefer this over AliExpress APIs when you specifically need mainland Chinese marketplace data or wholesale bulk pricing from 1688.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or no results if query is too niche or misspelled
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors
- Platform-side changes may break scraping or API responses
- Non-English queries may be required for best results on Chinese platforms
