PARSER TAOBAO

Taobao online store is primarily focused on Chinese consumers and operates in the C2C system – that is, “client to client”. It is an e-commerce format in which goods are sold between consumers and the Taobao platform acts as an intermediary.

The marketplace was created by the Alibaba Group to coordinate a huge number of small businesses, buyers and sellers of small quantities of industrial consumer goods. In other countries, work with Taobao services is carried out with the participation of intermediaries.

The Taobao site is interesting because it contains millions of offers in tens of thousands of product categories. Each product is supplied with a description, images and a price – thanks to this Taobao is an interesting object for content parsing by intermediaries and sellers who trade in the same product. The Taobao parser allows you to fill an online store with tens and hundreds of thousands of items with goods from this site, forming a catalog in a matter of hours. In theory, all this can be done manually, but filling the catalog with goods from Taobao will take weeks of time, and in addition, the information will have to be periodically updated. Errors and inaccuracies, gaps in the database are inevitable.

The Taobao parser also allows you to effectively solve the problem of finding suppliers – it can be configured to parse information about sellers and manufacturers of goods, including phone numbers, email and postal addresses.

The program analyzes the Taobao site using user-specified search parameters. The parser is a highly specialized solution configured to work specifically with the architecture of the Taobao site, however, it can be improved and refined for use with other trading platforms, this feature is initially thought of in all parsers developed by AVADA MEDIA.

Also, the parser of our development will allow, receiving descriptions from the site, to automatically translate them from Chinese with the possibility of manual editing. Prices can be posted directly or with a user-defined mark-up formula. Site content is saved in tabular form or in CSV format. The product image is also loaded. The parser can be performed both in a single-threaded version, suitable for small businesses, and in a multi-threaded version, which allows you to parse millions of product names per hour.

The parser can be configured to periodically collect updates for the categories you are interested in with automatic addition of products to the online store catalog. Thanks to this, your website will always be relevant.

In AVADA MEDIA, you can order a highly specialized parser for any trading platform, or a universal parser for different types of content.
