Taobao Flash Sale Benefit Finder

Problem

Taobao Flash Sale benefits are scattered across app pages, coupons, red packets, and time-limited offers. This skill turns that workflow into a single query result: it fetches the day’s benefits, organizes the activity name, description, and detailed claim steps, and preserves the required search code or number, reducing manual hunting and rule interpretation.

How it works

The skill calls the Ju Manjian API to get daily data and parses fields such as updateDate, couponList[].title, couponList[].desc, and couponList[].tip. It groups common benefit types like general red packet, supermarket red packet, late-night snack red packet, pharmacy red packet, snack red packet, and student benefits. The output keeps key constraints, including effective time, amount range, usage scope, and the mandatory user-facing steps:
- Open Mobile Taobao App
- Enter the top Flash Sale entry
- Type the specified code/number into search
- Search and follow the page prompt to claim
If the user asks, it can also suggest a reminder to claim dining red packets at a fixed time.

Boundaries

It is useful for querying publicly listed Taobao Flash Sale benefits and claim steps, but it does not log in, claim automatically, pay, place orders, or modify account state. Actual rules depend on the Taobao Flash Sale page and API response; some benefits have effective times, audience limits, inventory, or regional differences, such as late-night offers active at 20:00 and student offers for eligible users. It relies on Python 3.x and the standard library urllib, with no extra third-party packages required.
