Obtain Taobao product category details API, grab Taobao full product category API interface sharing (code display, parameter description)

Commodity classification skills

How to set up Taobao store classification? When we log in to the seller account, we see our products and want to classify the products. A good classification can help increase the exposure of the products. So before classifying the products, if you have no clue, the following points can give you a little help.

1. You can refer to the classification of some big brands, and then we can imitate the classification in our own Taobao store.

2. The options on the baby search page can be used as a reference for setting categories.

3. Select the appropriate number of categories for the category, within 10 is the best, not too many, otherwise it will be very messy.

API call example

Through the API interface, you can get all the categories of Taobao products, and you can also quickly grab the classification details of specific products. The following are examples of interface calls.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class Example {
	private static String readAll(Reader rd) throws IOException {
		StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
		int cp;
		while ((cp = rd.read()) != -1) {
			sb.append((char) cp);
		}
		return  sb.toString();
	}
	public static JSONObject postRequestFromUrl(String url, String body) throws IOException, JSONException {
		URL realUrl = new URL(url);
		URLConnection conn = realUrl.openConnection();
		conn.setDoOutput(true);
		conn.setDoInput(true);
		PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
		out.print(body);
		out.flush();
		InputStream instream = conn.getInputStream();
		try {
			BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(instream, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
			String jsonText = readAll(rd);
			JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonText);
			return json;
		} finally {
			instream.close();
		}
	}
	public static JSONObject getRequestFromUrl(String url) throws IOException, JSONException {
		URL realUrl = new URL(url);
		URLConnection conn = realUrl.openConnection();
		InputStream instream = conn.getInputStream();
		try {
			BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(instream, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
			String jsonText = readAll(rd);
			JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonText);
			return json;
		} finally {
			instream.close();
		}
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, JSONException {
		// 请求示例 url 默认请求参数已经URL编码处理
		String url = "https://vx-15870092527.cn/taobao/cat_get/?key=<您自己的apiKey>&secret=<您自己的apiSecret>&cid=16";
		JSONObject json = getRequestFromUrl(url);
		System.out.println(json.toString());
	}
