AliExpress Scraper: Products, Prices & Reviews, No Login

Type keywords or paste AliExpress product links, and get AliExpress search results or buyer reviews as one row each. Products come with price as a number, original price, discount, currency, rating, orders as a number, delivery note and images; reviews have stars, text, English translation, country, date and variant. No AliExpress login, no cookies, no API key. The prefilled search (10 products) costs about $0.014.

Use it for price research, dropshipping product research and review analysis. The prefilled search usb c cable with 10 products finishes in about 4 seconds.

What it does

The Actor reads public pages of AliExpress in one of two modes:

• Search — for each keyword, it reads the AliExpress search results in page order (60 products per page) for the ship-to country and currency you pick. One row per product: price, original price, discount, currency, new-shopper price flag, rating, orders, delivery note, images, badges, ad flag and the position in the results.
• Reviews — for each product link or ID, it reads the buyer reviews. One row per review: stars, text, English translation by AliExpress, reviewer country, date, variant, shipping method, photos and helpful votes, plus the product rating and total number of reviews.

Every row has status, source, a link and fetchedAt, so you can filter, sort and join rows in the Dataset, a spreadsheet or by API.

Good fit

• Find products by keyword and compare price, discount and orders across sellers.
• Track how prices and discounts change for the same keywords over time (run on a schedule).
• Read what buyers say about a product: stars, text in English, countries and variants.

Not a fit / limits

• No product page details: no store name, no exact shipping cost by method, no variants (SKU) list, no stock. Search cards give a delivery note only (for example Free shipping or Delivery: Oct 20 - 25).
• Prices are the ones AliExpress shows to a new visitor. Often this is a new-shopper offer; the row marks it with newShopperPrice: true. Regular buyers may pay more.
• aliexpress.ru, short share links (a.aliexpress.com) and other AliExpress apps are not supported.
• Up to 1,000 products per keyword and 1,000 reviews per product.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Keep Mode = Search and the prefilled keyword usb c cable in Search queries, or type your own.
3. Keep Ship to = US and Currency = USD, or pick your country and currency.
4. Keep Max products per query = 10 (prefill) or raise it up to 1,000.
5. Click Start.
6. Open the Output tab, view Products, and check price, originalPrice and ordersCount.

Expected result: 10 rows with status complete, one per product, in AliExpress search order.

For reviews, set Mode = Reviews, add product links or IDs to Product URLs, and view Reviews in the Output tab.

Pricing and limits

Pricing unit

Pay per event. You pay for:

• Actor start — $0.0015 per run (Apify counts one start per GB of memory, at least one; the default 512 MB is one);
• search-result — each saved product row;
• review — each saved review row, and one no_reviews row for a product that has no reviews (a definite answer).

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor start	$0.0015	$0.0015	$0.0015	$0.0015
search-result	$0.0012	$0.00114	$0.00108	$0.00102
review	$0.0005	$0.000475	$0.00045	$0.000425

Platform usage (compute, proxy) is included. A keyword with no matches, wrong links and failed requests are not charged; you pay only the start fee for such a run. If a run fails, you pay only for the rows it saved. The run stops when it reaches your maximum charge and marks the summary CHARGE_LIMIT.

Cost examples (Free plan)

Scenario	Input scope	Rows	Charge	Stop/cap behavior
Prefill	1 keyword, 10 products	10	$0.0135	about 4 s
Normal search	3 keywords × 50 products	150	$0.1815
Large search	1 keyword × 1000 products	1000	$1.2015	about 50 s
Reviews	2 products × 100 reviews	200	$0.1015	fewer if a product has fewer reviews
Nothing found	1 keyword with no products	0	$0.0015	start fee only

Limits

• Up to 20 keywords per run, 1,000 products per keyword; up to 200 products and 1,000 reviews per product in reviews mode.
• Measured: 1,000 products in 47 seconds; 6 keywords × 1,000 products in about 22 minutes (with proxy after a block); 3 × 1,000 reviews in under 2 minutes.
• Default run timeout is 1 hour. The Actor stops on its own before the timeout and keeps saved rows (stopReason: TIMEOUT).

API, export and integrations

• API: start the Actor with the Apify API and read the Dataset items as JSON, CSV or Excel.
• Export: the Output tab exports JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS.
• Scheduling: run the same keywords daily with Apify Schedules and compare price by productId and fetchedAt.
• Webhooks / no-code: send results to Google Sheets, Make or Zapier through Apify integrations.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

• MCP server with only this Actor: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cliqtomedia/aliexpress-scraper
• Smallest input:

{ "searchQueries": ["usb c cable"], "maxItems": 10 }

• Key output fields: title, price, originalPrice, currency, ordersCount, rating, url; for reviews rating, translatedText, country.
• 10 products take about 4 seconds and cost $0.0135. Keep maxItems and maxReviews small for quick answers.

Troubleshooting

Rows have newShopperPrice: true

Symptom: the price looks lower than on your account. Likely reason: AliExpress shows new-shopper offers to visitors who are not logged in. Check: the newShopperPrice field. Action: filter on newShopperPrice: false if you need regular prices.

Fewer products than maxItems

Symptom: a keyword returns fewer rows. Likely reason: AliExpress has fewer results, or it repeats the same products on later pages (the Actor skips repeats). Check: RUN_SUMMARY.counts.duplicatesSkipped and the log. Action: use broader keywords.

A product link was skipped

Symptom: no rows for a link. Likely reason: the link is aliexpress.ru, a short share link or not a product page. Check: RUN_SUMMARY.invalidInputs. Action: open the link in a browser and copy the www.aliexpress.com/item/<ID>.html address or the numeric ID.

The run failed with SOURCE_ERROR

Symptom: run status FAILED, summary stopReason: SOURCE_ERROR. Likely reason: AliExpress blocked the requests or did not answer after several tries. Check: rows saved before the failure are in the Dataset. Action: run again later. This is a failure, not an empty result.

Prices differ from my browser

Likely reason: your browser uses another country, currency, language or a logged-in account. Set shipTo and currency to the same values.

FAQ

Do I need an AliExpress account, cookies or API key?

No. The Actor reads public pages without a login.

Can I get the store name, shipping cost or variants?

Not in this Actor. Search cards have no store name or exact shipping cost; you get the delivery note shippingText. Reviews show the variant each buyer bought.

What does a null value mean?

AliExpress did not show this value for this product or review. It is not 0. For example, rating: null means the product has no rating yet.

Are the results complete and fresh?

The rows show what AliExpress shows at fetchedAt. AliExpress changes the order, prices and offers often and may show different results to different visitors. The Actor does not promise every product for a keyword.
