Technical Details

• Anti-detection: Uses playwright-stealth + custom UA + navigator spoofing to reduce the risk of being identified as a bot

• CAPTCHA avoidance: Seller information queries go through the lib.mtop.request SDK on the IM page, avoiding slider CAPTCHA triggers on product detail pages

• Rate limiting: Batch messages are sent 2 seconds apart to avoid triggering platform risk controls

• Thread safety: All browser operations are serialized and executed in a single-threaded executor

Notes

• Xianyu has anti-scraping mechanisms. Do not make high-frequency calls or use it for large-scale data collection

• Cookies have a limited validity period and you will need to scan the QR code again after they expire

• This project is for learning and research purposes only. Please comply with the Xianyu platform terms of use
