Combine 1688 orders with every other channel for margin, stock and customer views across the whole business.
Need more? Name any other 1688 data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
- Signed requests (key and secret)
1688 uses OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token) or signed requests (key and secret). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Alibaba Group if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick 1688.
Open Lake, pick 1688 in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the 1688 API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the 1688 documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example orders and products), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then 1688 data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
