# ecommerce-1688-product-detail

Use this skill to query 1688 public product details. Read [references/api.md](references/api.md) before constructing a request.


## Request contract

- Endpoint: `POST /api/v1/tools/research/alibaba1688/productDetail`
- Required: `offerId` (positive integer string).
- Optional: `currency` (three-letter code); omit compatibility-only `country`.
- Send only documented fields; reject unknown fields before network access.

Minimal example:

```json
{"offerId":"1040473674152"}
```

## Workflow

1. Confirm the requested public entity, market, operation, filters, and expected cost.
2. Validate parameters against the API reference. Send only documented business fields.
3. Run `python scripts/alibaba1688_product_detail.py '<JSON parameters>' --no-cache` once. Do not probe alternate products, markets, pages, or operations after a paid failure without user approval.
4. Preserve the full response file. Distinguish the NexScope transport envelope from the inner business response and report `traceId` on errors.
5. Summarize only returned facts. Preserve missing values as unknown and identify the requested market and operation.

## Cost

Do not reuse the source Skill's point value. The actual NexScope charge is calculated after the response as `X-Cost-Token × 0.001041`. For example, `105000 × 0.001041 = 109.305` credits. Record `X-Cost-Credit` when present, but do not use it as the migrated Skill's billing basis. The exact charge is unknown before the first live response.

## Error and credit handling

- HTTP 401 means NexScope authentication failed. Verify `NEXSCOPE_API_KEY` and `NEXSCOPE_PROXY_BASE`; do not ask the user to paste credentials into chat or operation JSON.
- HTTP 402 means the account lacks credits. Stop the workflow and direct the user to the access-help page below.
- Marketplace authorization failures require the platform-specific account or token to be renewed. Do not substitute a different store, region, or creator automatically.
- For ambiguous network failures, report whether the attempted operation was a read or mutation. Never repeat a mutation without reconciling its upstream state.

## Authentication

Set the `NEXSCOPE_API_KEY` environment variable. If credentials are missing or expire, visit [https://www.nexscope.ai/help/skills-external-access?co-from=skillNS](https://www.nexscope.ai/help/skills-external-access?co-from=skillNS) to top up credits.

## Presenting results

- Lead with the requested entity, market, operation, and the most decision-relevant returned fields.
- Preserve source currencies, units, identifiers, dates, and missing values; do not invent conversions or defaults.
- Keep the full JSON artifact and present compact tables for repeated records when useful.
- Report the `X-Cost-Token`, calculated NexScope credits, and trace ID from the saved billing metadata.

## Boundaries and privacy

- This migration is public-data and read-only. Do not invoke seller-console, store-authorized, favorite-write, or account mutation operations.
- One explicit request per call. Do not silently change entity, market, date, operation, or page after an error.
- Redact credentials, signed URLs, cookies, and internal account identifiers from user-facing output and saved request examples.
- Do not claim live, ZIP-install, or production validation unless the matching evidence exists in `references/testing.md`.
