AliExpress Scraper + AI Fake Review Detection & Sentiment Analysis

The only AliExpress scraper on Apify with AI-powered fake review detection. AI analyzes reviews to detect fakes, summarizes sentiment, and scores product quality — so you know what you're buying before you order.

Why AI Matters for AliExpress

758% increase in AI-generated fake reviews on AliExpress (2020-2024). A product with 4.8 stars and 500 reviews sounds great — until you realize half those reviews are fake. Our AI catches this.

Features

• 4 scrape modes: Search, Category, Product URLs, Store/Seller
• Residential proxy included — no extra cost: AliExpress aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. We bundle premium residential proxies in every run, so you get 100% success rate without paying separate proxy fees. Most other scrapers fail or charge proxy add-ons.
• AI Fake Review Detection: Authenticity score (0-100) — are the reviews genuine or manufactured?
• AI Sentiment Summary: Top pros and cons extracted from actual reviews
• AI Quality Score: Overall product quality rating based on review analysis
• Deep review extraction: Original + translated text, reviewer country, review images, variant purchased
• Complete product data: Prices, variants/SKUs, images, specs, seller info, shipping, badges
• No API key needed: AI runs via built-in OpenRouter — billed through your Apify account

Use Case Examples

Validate a Product Before Ordering Samples

You found a product with great ratings. But are the reviews real?

{
    "scrape_type": "product",
    "product_urls": [
        "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007391925498.html"
    ],
    "get_reviews": true,
    "max_reviews_per_product": 50,
    "ai_analysis": true
}

Cost: ~$0.16 (1 product + 50 reviews + AI). AI tells you: "authenticity_score": 45 — half the reviews are likely fake. Skip this product.

Why $40 / 1,000 products?

AliExpress is one of the most aggressively-protected sites on the web. Every other scraper either (a) charges you separately for residential proxies that cost $8–15/GB, (b) gets blocked half the time, or (c) returns partial data when anti-bot kicks in.

This actor bundles premium residential proxies into the per-product price. No add-ons, no surprises, no failed runs you still pay for. You pay one flat rate and get a 100% success rate with full product data — prices, variants, seller info, shipping, badges, and reviews. For dropshippers and FBA sellers making sourcing decisions, the cost of a bad scrape (wrong price, missing reviews, fake-review-inflated rating) is far higher than $0.04 per product.
