AliExpress Reviews Scraper

Turn any AliExpress product link into a clean table of its public reviews — star rating, the shopper's own words plus an English translation, the country they bought from, the exact variant they received, their photos, and the follow-up they left weeks later. Give it one product or a thousand. It is built for people who need to read what buyers actually said: sellers sizing up a product before importing it, brands watching how their listings are received, and analysts who want the complaints, not the average.

What you can do with it

• Vet a product before you source it. Pull the 1, 2 and 3-star reviews for a shortlist of listings and read every complaint in one table.
• Watch a competitor's listing on a schedule and see what new buyers say week by week.
• Find the quality problem. Every row carries the exact variant the shopper received, so you can see that the complaints all land on one colour or size.
• Mine buyer photos — collect only the reviews that include images, with direct links to every photo.
• Read the second opinion. After-sale follow-ups are the reviews shoppers write once the product has been used for a few weeks; they are collected with their own text, their own date and how many days later they were written.
• Feed sentiment or topic models with multilingual review text and its English translation side by side.

Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
productUrls	list of text	one example product	One AliExpress product per line — the product link, or just the product number from it. Anything that is not an AliExpress product is skipped and counted in the run summary.
reviewSet	select	complete	Which slice of the product's public reviews to collect. See the table below.
maxReviewsPerProduct	integer (1–25000)	200	Stop after this many reviews for each product. Products with fewer public reviews return everything they publish.
includeAfterSaleFollowUps	boolean	true	Also collect the follow-up comments shoppers add weeks after their first review, and attach that text to those reviews. Applies to the two "Everything" options.
includeProductSummary	boolean	true	Add one summary row per product with the average score, the full star breakdown, how many reviews the product publishes in each slice, and the phrases shoppers mention most. Summary rows count as results.
country	select	Spain	Which country's edition of the product's review pages to read. It sets the order reviews come back in, and it is the country used by the "reviews from shoppers in the selected country" option.
productsAtOnce	integer (1–8)	2	How many products to work through in parallel.

reviewSet options:

Option	What you get
Everything (deepest coverage, recommended)	Reads the product's reviews straight through, and when a product is large enough that the site stops publishing more, sweeps it again star band by star band — 5 stars, then 4, then 3, 2 and 1. This reaches several times deeper on heavily reviewed products than any single pass can.
Everything in one straight run	A single pass. Faster on small products, shallower on big ones.
Positive only	5 and 4-star reviews.
Critical only	3, 2 and 1-star reviews.
Only reviews that include photos	Reviews with buyer images attached.
Only after-sale follow-ups	Only the reviews that carry a later follow-up comment.
Only reviews from shoppers in the selected country	Reviews written by buyers in the country you chose.

Output fields

Review rows

Field	Description
recordType	review
productId, productUrl	The product this review belongs to.
reviewId	Stable identifier for the review.
foundIn	Which slice this row was collected in, in words ("3 stars", "reviews with photos").
reviewEdition	The country edition the reviews were read from.
stars	1–5.
ratingPercent	The same score as the site publishes it, 20–100.
reviewDate, reviewDateText	Calendar date, and the date exactly as shown on the site.
reviewerName, reviewerCountry, reviewerGender, isAnonymous, reviewerAvatarUrl	Who wrote it, as far as the site publishes it. Names are shortened by the site itself.
reviewText	The review in the language it was written in.
reviewTextEnglish	The English version the site publishes beside it.
variant	The exact option the shopper bought — colour, size, bundle.
photoCount, photos, photoThumbnails	Buyer photos, full size and small.
reviewTags	The short tag AliExpress prints on some reviews ("Fast", "Fits ok"). The site does not say which quality the tag refers to, so it is returned on its own rather than attached to one.
shippingService	The delivery service named on the review.
isFeaturedReview	The site highlights this review on the product page.
hasAfterSaleFollowUp, afterSaleDaysLater, afterSaleDate, afterSaleDateText, afterSaleText, afterSaleTextEnglish	The follow-up comment, how long after the first review it was written, and its translation.
aiGeneratedFlag	The site marks this review as machine-written.

Product summary rows

Field	Description
recordType	product-summary
reviewsCollected	Exactly how many reviews this run returned for the product.
setsRead	Which slices were swept.
sitePublishingLimitReached	true when the product has more public reviews for that selection than the site will hand out.
writtenReviewsPublished	How many written reviews the site says the product has.
publishedSetCounts	How many the site says are in each slice: all, with photos, after-sale, from the selected country.
ratingBreakdown	Average score and the count of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1-star ratings, as published. It holds no grand total, because the one AliExpress prints there is the number of written reviews and not the number of ratings.
ratingBreakdownCovers	A plain-English note on which group of shoppers the breakdown counts.
topMentions	The phrases shoppers mention most, with how often and whether they read positive or negative.
reviewEdition, requestedEdition, editionSubstituted	Which country edition was read, which one you asked for, and whether they differ.

Pricing

You pay per result, and nothing else.

What you pay for	Price
Each result returned — one review, or one product summary	$1.00 per 1,000

Worked example: five products, 1,000 reviews each, with the product summary turned on, returns 5,005 results — about $5.01. A product that turns out to have no public reviews returns no rows and therefore costs nothing.

Limits & what this actor cannot do

• The site publishes only so many reviews for any one selection. Beyond that it stops serving more. The recommended "Everything" option works around this by sweeping the reviews star band by star band, which reaches several times deeper — in practice up to about 25,000 reviews for a single product — but a listing with more reviews than that will return what the site publishes rather than every review ever written. When that happens the product summary says so in sitePublishingLimitReached, so you are never left guessing.
• The narrower selections have their own, lower ceiling. "Positive only", "Critical only", "Only reviews with photos", "Only after-sale follow-ups" and "Only reviews from shoppers in the selected country" each stop at the same point the site stops publishing, and they do not sweep star band by star band the way the recommended option does. Choose one of the "Everything" options when depth matters more than a narrow slice.
• AliExpress prints a short tag on some reviews without saying what it describes. The same tag is repeated against every quality listed on the product, so it is returned as a plain tag and never attached to a quality it may not be about.
• Reviews are shared across every variant of a listing. AliExpress pools them for the whole product family, and there is no way to ask for one variant's reviews. Every row carries the variant the shopper actually received, so you can group them yourself.
• The star breakdown counts a wider group than the review list. It includes shoppers who left a score without writing anything. The two are returned as separate fields and must not be added together or divided into one another — reviewsCollected is the only exact count in the output.
• The counts the site publishes drift. Two reads of the same product minutes apart can report different totals. They are returned as the site's own published figures, not as a promise of how many rows you will get.
• Review dates have day precision. No time of day is published anywhere, so none is invented.
• Reviews cannot be sorted by newest. The site ignores every sort instruction on its public reviews, so no sort option is offered rather than one that quietly does nothing.
• Reviewer names are already shortened by the site ("M***e"), and some shoppers post anonymously. Nothing further about a shopper is available.
• A product with no reviews and a product that has been taken down look the same from the outside. Both are reported as having no public reviews. A product number that was never valid is reported as unavailable, which is a different fact and is counted separately in the run summary.
• There are no questions and answers on AliExpress — the site removed that feature, so no such field exists.
• The United States edition of the review pages is not offered. It reports every reviewer as being in the United States whoever wrote the review, and it withholds most review photos. Reading it would produce confident, wrong data, so the actor reads a different edition and every row says which one.
• Prices, stock and ratings are not part of this actor — it returns reviews and the rating breakdown.
• Everything is a snapshot at the moment of collection and keeps changing afterwards.
• Speed depends on the size of the job and on how quickly the source site answers; no fixed throughput is promised.
• The source site's terms govern automated access. You are responsible for using the data lawfully and in line with those terms, and for handling any personal data in line with applicable privacy law.

FAQ

Do I need an account on the source site? No. Nothing is needed beyond the product links.

Does it need my login or password? No. It never asks for one and never uses one.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Schedule it on Apify like any other actor and it will pick up new reviews each time it runs.

Is the data complete? It is complete up to what AliExpress publishes. For most products that is every public review. For very heavily reviewed listings the site stops publishing more after a point; the recommended option digs several times deeper by sweeping star band by star band, and the product summary tells you whenever a product hit that ceiling.

Can I get the reviews for just one colour or size? Not directly — AliExpress pools reviews across the whole product family and offers no way to filter by variant. Every row tells you which variant the shopper received, so you can group or filter the results yourself.

Why is the star breakdown bigger than the number of reviews? Because it counts every shopper who left a score, including the many who left no written review. The two numbers describe different groups of people, which is why they are returned separately and never merged.

What happens if a product link is wrong? It is skipped, counted, and listed in the run summary. One bad link never stops the rest of the job.
