A JD, Taobao and 1688 price comparison app in Qlik
Brands and distributors selling in China often watch three prices at once: retail on JD and Taobao, and wholesale on 1688. Qlik's associative model fits this well. Select one SKU and you see every offer and store for it across the three marketplaces.
- Collect. Use the EveryInfra JD product detail and SKUs, Taobao search and reviews and 1688 search endpoints to get price, store, sales and review counts by keyword or product link.
- Load. Qlik's REST connector supports authentication, request parameters, headers and pagination, so the load script can call EveryInfra directly: add
Authorization: Bearerwith your key in the headers, and follow the request format in the docs. For large volumes, have a script write files first and load them with a file connection. - Shape. During the load, map each marketplace's product names to your own SKU codes and convert prices to CNY per unit.
- Alert. Qlik alerts notify the team when data changes. For example, when the lowest Taobao price for a SKU drops below your minimum advertised price, send it to the owner's Slack.
Price monitoring usually runs once or twice a day. Products that cannot be found are not charged, so keeping a few temporarily delisted SKUs on the watch list costs nothing.
