About the skill

Sourcing Source Scraper

A domain-specific data-extraction skill that scrapes product and listing pages on Alibaba, 1688, AliExpress, Amazon US Movers & Shakers, ProductHunt, and Kickstarter and turns each one into a standard "candidate-card" row. Unlike generic web research, it targets the fields unique to the e-commerce sourcing world: FOB price, MOQ (minimum order quantity), lead time (production/delivery time), certifications (CE, RoHS, FDA, FCC, etc.), supplier type/age, annual production capacity, supplier notes, and—for crowdfunding campaigns—the amount funded / number of backers.

When to use it: when evaluating whether to import a product from China, build a dropshipping/private-label catalog, or spot trending products newly entering the market; when you want to reduce dozens of listings from different sources into a single, uniformly comparable table instead of copying them by hand.

Output: a source-attributed JSON array of rows (candidate-cards) with consistent keys. Each row represents a single product/listing; fields such as price, MOQ, certifications, and trend score let you filter, sort, and compare suppliers directly. This structured data provides clean input to import-feasibility and product-selection agents.

How do I use this skill?

You don't "run" a skill — after installing it you just tell the agent your task (e.g. ask for the relevant job), and the skill kicks in by itself when its description matches.
