AliExpress Product Scraper

Scrape AliExpress products by category, search, or product URL and get clean, import-ready data for every item — title, all variants with their own prices, stock and images, localized shipping, the full image gallery, description and product specifications.

Pick your country, currency and language, point the scraper at a category (or a list of products), and export everything to JSON, CSV or Excel in one run. Perfect for dropshipping, building or updating a product catalog, price and stock monitoring, and market research.

What you can extract

For every product, the scraper returns:

• Title in your chosen language
• Product ID and category ID (with the full category path)
• All variants (SKUs) — each with its own sale price, original price, stock, availability, option values (e.g. colour, size) and variant image
• Localized shipping — cost, currency, destination country and estimated delivery time
• Full image gallery
• Product description
• Specifications / attributes (e.g. material, brand, model)
• Rating, number of reviews and units sold
• Store / seller name and link

Because every variant carries its own price, stock and image, the output drops straight into a product-import workflow — you don't have to gather variants, prices or shipping separately.

---

Common use cases

• Dropshipping — pull a whole category into your store with variants, images and prices already structured for import.
• Catalog building & updates — keep titles, prices, stock and images in sync.
• Price & stock monitoring — schedule runs and track how prices change.
• Market & product research — filter by rating, reviews and units sold to find winning products.

How to use the AliExpress Product Scraper

1. Choose what to scrape. Enter one or more Category IDs (e.g. 1511), or paste Category / search URLs. To scrape only specific items, use Product URLs or Product IDs instead.
2. Set your market. Choose the Ship-to country, Currency and Language so prices, shipping and titles match the market you sell to.
3. Set how many products you want per source with Max products per source.
4. Add a proxy. Leave Proxy on Residential and set the proxy country to the same country as your Ship-to country (see Proxy below).
5. (Optional) Add filters — minimum rating, reviews or units sold — and a skip list for products you've already imported.
6. Run the scraper, then open the Storage / Dataset tab and export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Tip: the results table in the app shows a summary. The complete details — all variants, the full gallery, description and specifications — are always in the exported file (JSON keeps the richest structure).

Input

What to scrape (fill in at least one)

Input	Description
Category IDs	AliExpress category IDs, e.g. 1511. Found in a category page URL like aliexpress.com/category/1511/.... Each category is paged through up to your product limit.
Category / search URLs	Full category or search-result page URLs, as an alternative to IDs.
Product URLs	Scrape only these exact products, by page URL. Skips category browsing.
Product IDs	Scrape only these exact products, by numeric ID.

How many products

Input	Default	Description
Max products per source	100	Maximum products scraped from each category or search source.
Max listing pages per source	—	Optional cap on listing pages per source. Leave empty to let the product limit decide.
Include full product description	On	Include each product's full description. Turn off for faster, lighter runs.

Localization

Set these to match the market you sell to.

Input	Default	Description
Ship-to country	United States	The country prices and shipping are calculated for. Use a proxy in the same country for accurate results.
Currency	USD	The currency for all prices.
Language	English	Language for titles, option names and descriptions.

Quality filters (optional)

Input	Description
Minimum times sold	Keep only products sold at least this many times.
Minimum rating	Keep only products rated at least this many stars (0–5).
Minimum number of reviews	Keep only products with at least this many reviews.
Only keep these category IDs (allowlist)	Keep a product only if its category — or any parent category — is in this list. Great for narrowing a broad category or search to exactly the categories you want. Leave empty to keep everything.

Skip already-imported products (optional)

Input	Description
Skip these product variants (SKU IDs)	List of SKU IDs to skip. Matching variants are removed; if all variants of a product are listed, the whole product is skipped.
SKU list URL	For large sets: a link to a file of SKU IDs (JSON, CSV or plain text). Merged with the list above.

Proxy

Input	Default	Description
Proxy	Residential	Required. Use residential proxies and set the proxy country to the same country as your Ship-to country — this is what makes shipping resolve to that country.

Advanced settings (locale override, seller-rating filter, account cookies, parallelism and retry limits) are available in a separate section for power users. The defaults work for most runs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a proxy? Yes. A residential proxy is required to run reliably and to get correct localized prices and shipping. Set the proxy country to match your Ship-to country.

How do I get accurate shipping for my country? Set the Ship-to country and use a residential proxy in that same country. Shipping is reported exactly as AliExpress returns it — if it ever resolves to a different country, the record is flagged (qualityFlags.shippingMatchesCountry) so you always know the true destination.

Can I scrape just a few specific products? Yes — use Product URLs or Product IDs, and the scraper skips category browsing.

Which formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel and more. JSON preserves the full nested structure (variants, gallery, specifications).

Notes

• A residential proxy is required. Without one, requests are blocked quickly and shipping may not resolve to your chosen country.
• Shipping is per product, not per variant — AliExpress returns one shipping quote per product, so all variants of a product share the same shipping.
• Category names may be unavailable — AliExpress often exposes only category IDs. The IDs are always included (categoryId, topCategoryId, categoryPathIds); map them to names on your side if you need labels.
• Option values come from the seller — the option name is localized, but individual values may appear exactly as the seller entered them, sometimes in mixed languages.
• Prices and stock are live and change daily; the same product can show different numbers on different days.
