How to Scrape Yiwugo in Node.js

A simple Node.js example that shows how to scrape product listings from Yiwugo — the world's largest small commodity marketplace — using a ready-made Apify actor. No custom scraper, no headless browser, no captcha headaches — just pass a keyword and get structured product data back.

What this example does

• Calls the piotrv1001/yiwugo-listings-scraper Apify actor
• Passes a keyword input (e.g. 手机壳 — phone cases)
• Waits for the run to finish
• Fetches results from the run's dataset
• Prints each product item to the console

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer
• An Apify account (free tier works)
• Your Apify API token

Installation

npm install

Environment setup

Copy the example env file and add your Apify API token:

cp .env.example .env

Then edit .env:

APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token_here

Usage

npm start

Code example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
import 'dotenv/config';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Set APIFY_TOKEN in your .env file (copy .env.example to get started)
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN,
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "keywords": [
        "手机壳"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("piotrv1001/yiwugo-listings-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
