FAQ
Does Taobao have an official product review API?
Taobao's open platform mainly serves merchants for their own shops and their service providers; it generally does not return the public reviews of any product. Qovia returns Taobao and Tmall product reviews by product ID through one API key.
What review data can I get?
Review text and time, positive/neutral/negative rating, SKU, buyer nickname (masked by the platform) and member level, photos and videos, follow-up reviews and shop replies. 20 a page, newest first; empty default positive reviews are skipped unless they have a follow-up. JD.com reviews are on the JD.com page.
Where do I find the product ID?
It is the number after id= in the product link, for Taobao and Tmall alike: 611261922146 in item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=611261922146.
Do I need a Taobao account or cookies?
No. All you need is a Qovia API key: no accounts, cookies, proxies or request signing to maintain.
How is it billed?
Prepaid and per call: only successful calls that return data are charged, and empty results, errors and timeouts are not. Every response says what it cost (meta.charged_usd). Each endpoint's price is in the API reference.
Can I use it from Claude, Cursor or other AI tools?
Yes. Qovia is also an MCP server (https://api.qovia.ai/mcp): add it to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with your API key and the AI finds the endpoint, pulls the data and summarises it.
What should I keep in mind when using the data?
Qovia provides a data API service and claims no ownership of the underlying content. Use the data under applicable law and Taobao's platform rules; see our terms of service.
