Data Dictionary — Temu E-commerce Pricing & SKU Variant Dataset
Version: 2.0.0 | Provider: Octoparse Managed Data Service
Table: products.parquet
One row per Temu product listing (SPU). Contains product-level metadata. 85 rows.
| Field | Type | Example | Business Context |
|---|---|---|---|
spu_id |
string | "606068486800016" |
Temu's Standard Product Unit ID. Use as join key with skus.parquet. Stored as string to prevent int64 overflow. |
product_url |
string | "https://m.temu.com/product-g-606068486800016.html" |
Canonical mobile URL. Append to any Temu domain for desktop. |
is_on_sale |
boolean | True |
Whether the product is currently purchasable. All 85 products in this sample are active. |
not_on_sale_reason |
string | "Unavailable for purchase" |
Only populated when is_on_sale=False. Null for all active products. |
goods_property_summary |
string | "Material:Polyester;Style:Casual;Season:Summer" |
Semicolon-delimited key:value property bag. Keys vary widely across products (~178 unique keys). Useful for taxonomy building. Parse defensively (typos present, e.g. "Seasoon"). |
Table: skus.parquet
One row per SKU (product variant). Foreign key spu_id joins to products.parquet.
382 rows, avg 4.5 SKUs per product.
| Field | Type | Example | Business Context |
|---|---|---|---|
sku_id |
string | "17592356187455" |
Temu's variant-level ID. Unique per color/size/style combination. |
spu_id |
string | "606068486800016" |
FK → products.spu_id. |
sku_main_pic |
string | "https://aimg.kwcdn.com/..." |
CDN URL for the SKU's primary image. URLs are static (not signed). Use for visual product matching or multimodal AI pipelines. |
sku_original_price |
float64 | 12.99 |
Strikethrough list price in USD. Null for ~69% of SKUs — Temu only renders this when actively showing a "was/now" comparison. Absence ≠ no discount; it means Temu isn't surfacing the comparison at this moment. |
sku_discounted_price |
float64 | 4.89 |
Current selling price in USD at scrape time. Range: $2.14 – $219.72. |
discount_pct |
float64 | 0.6235 |
Computed: (original − discounted) / original. Only populated when both prices present (120/382 SKUs). Use log1p transform for modeling. |
sale_attr_color |
string | "Black" |
Color variant label. May bundle quantity (e.g. "Red Rose Vine - 3pcs"). |
sale_attr_size |
string | "6.5-7" |
Size variant. Format varies: numeric (8), range (6.5-7), children's age (3-4Y), clothing (XL). Normalize before comparison. |
sale_attr_quantity |
string | "1pc" |
Quantity or bundle label. Highly variable — ranges from "1pc" to full product descriptions. Not reliably machine-parseable as numeric. |
sale_attr_capacity |
string | "500ml" |
Volume/storage capacity. Sparse (<1% populated). |
sale_attr_model |
string | "Standard" |
Product model variant. Sparse (~2% populated). |
sale_attr_style |
string | "Modern" |
Style variant. Sparse (~1% populated). |
sale_attr_compatible_model |
string | "iPhone 15" |
Device compatibility for accessories. Sparse (~1% populated). |
sale_property_summary |
string | "Color:Black|Size:XL" |
Pipe-delimited summary of all non-null sale_attr_* values for this SKU. Prefer this over individual columns for display or search. |

Key Data Limitations
| Issue | Detail |
|---|---|
sku_original_price sparsity |
68.6% null — Temu algorithmically controls when strikethrough prices are shown |
sale_attr_* mutual exclusivity |
Each SKU uses at most 1–2 of 7 attribute columns; remaining are null |
| Price is a snapshot | No historical cadence in this sample — prices change frequently on Temu |
goods_property_summary key inconsistency |
~178 unique keys, some duplicated under different spellings |
