AliExpress Product Scraper

Scrape AliExpress products two ways:

• By keyword search — give one or more keywords (e.g. wireless earbuds) and get the product cards from the results pages, paginated up to your limit.
• By product URL or ID — give product page URLs (e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008148860952.html) or bare numeric IDs and get full detail for each: prices, store, rating, orders, shipping, variations/SKUs, specs, category and a sample of customer reviews.

No headless browser: search reads the page's internal JSON (_init_data_) over plain HTTP through datacenter proxy (cheap), and product detail uses AliExpress's own signed MTOP API (mtop.aliexpress.pdp.pc.query) with an automatic residential-proxy fallback for anti-bot. Reviews come from the public feedback endpoint.

Input

Field	Type	Description
search	string[]	Keywords to search. Each runs one search, paginated up to maxItems.
productUrls	string[]	Product page URLs or bare numeric IDs, scraped in full detail.
maxItems	integer	Max cards per keyword (default 40, ~60 per page).
includeReviews	boolean	Fetch a sample of customer reviews for product URLs/IDs (default true).
maxReviews	integer	Max reviews per product, 0–100 (default 20).
country	string	Ship-to country, ISO-2 (default US).
currency	string	Currency, ISO-4217 (default USD).
language	string	Locale lang_COUNTRY (default en_US).
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy for search requests (default datacenter).
timeoutSecs	integer	Per-request timeout, 5–120 (default 40).

At least one of search or productUrls is required.

Output

One item per product. Search cards always include id, title, prices, currency, discount, orders, rating, image and URL. Product URL/ID runs add the full detail block — store id/rating/followers, structured shipping, variations/SKUs, specs, category, choice/plus flags and reviews.

Search-mode rows carry the same keys (product-only fields are null) plus the originating keyword.

Notes

• Datacenter proxy is normally enough for search and keeps runs cheap. The actor auto-escalates to residential proxy for any request that gets blocked and for the MTOP product API.
• Prices/titles are localised by country, currency and language.
• Variations, specs, category, store detail and reviews are best-effort: AliExpress's response shape varies by region and some fields are not always present, in which case they come back null/empty while the rest of the product is still returned.
