AliExpress Scraper: Products, Prices & Reviews

AliExpress Scraper pulls AliExpress product search results and buyer reviews into a clean dataset: title, sale price and original price, discount, currency, orders sold, star rating, store, images, delivery estimate and search rank, plus review stars, text, date, buyer country, SKU/variant, photos, helpful votes and follow-up reviews. Search by keyword or paste any AliExpress search URL. Or give product IDs / item URLs to get reviews only.

• ✅ Products and reviews in one run. Search "wireless earbuds", get about 60 products per page and the reviews of the top products.
• ✅ Real sales numbers. soldCount is the exact order count when AliExpress exposes it (e.g. 58903), not just "50,000+".
• ✅ Any ship-to country and currency (US/USD, GB/GBP, DE/EUR, BR/BRL, ...), so prices and delivery estimates match your market.
• ✅ Review translations into your language, alongside the original text.
• ✅ Sort by best match, orders (best sellers) or price, up to 60 pages per search.
• ✅ Polite and robust: one request at a time with random pauses, bot-check detection, automatic session rotation and back-off, and fallback to Apify datacenter proxy. No residential proxy needed.
• ✅ Pay per result. No monthly rent. Failed requests, duplicates and blocked pages are never charged.

Who uses AliExpress product and review data?

• Dropshippers and e-commerce sellers: find winning products by orders sold and rating, track supplier prices and discounts.
• Product research and sourcing teams: compare prices across suppliers and ship-to countries.
• Brand protection: monitor listings that use your brand name.
• Market and pricing analysts: build price indexes, track bestseller rankings and discount depth over time with scheduled runs.
• Review mining and AI teams: collect buyer reviews with star ratings, photos and variants for sentiment analysis, quality control or LLM summaries.
• Agencies: deliver weekly product or competitor reports via Apify integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, email, webhooks, Make, Zapier).

How does the AliExpress scraper work?

1. Enter keywords (one search per keyword) and/or search URLs from AliExpress with your filters applied.
2. The actor reads each result page's embedded data (about 60 products per page) up to Max pages per search.
3. If Scrape reviews is on, it fetches reviews for the top N products of each search (20 per request) up to Max reviews per product. Products in Product IDs get reviews without a search.
4. Everything goes into one dataset. Each item has type: "product" or type: "review"; the Products and Reviews views show each kind.

The actor only reads public search result pages and the public review feed. It never opens product detail pages, logs in or solves captchas.

Field notes

• price is the price shown in search results (the sale price, often a new-shopper or bundle deal). originalPrice is the list price before discount, when shown.
• soldCount is the exact order count when available, otherwise parsed from soldText ("10,000+ sold" → 10000).
• storeName only appears when AliExpress includes it in search results (often for sponsored items). Otherwise it's null.
• shipping / delivery come from the badges on the result card ("Free shipping", "Delivery: Oct 05 - 12"), when shown.
• EU and UK ship-to countries get lean result cards from AliExpress: title, price and image, but no rating or sold count. Use a non-EU shipTo (e.g. US) if you need those.
• rating on reviews is 1–5 stars. buyerName is the masked name AliExpress displays (e.g. j***i).
• date is ISO YYYY-MM-DD. With translation into a non-English language AliExpress localizes the date text; then date may be null and dateText keeps the original.
• A run summary (pages, counts, status per search and product) is saved to the SUMMARY record in the key-value store.

How much does it cost to scrape AliExpress?

Pay-per-event, only for results you get:

Event	Price
Product (one search result)	$0.004
Review	$0.002

That's $4 per 1,000 products and $2 per 1,000 reviews. A one-page search (60 products) costs about $0.24. Duplicates, errors and blocked pages are not charged. Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops cleanly when it's reached.

Tips for scraping AliExpress products and reviews

• Best sellers: sort: "orders" plus a few pages gives the top products in a niche by order volume.
• Price monitoring: schedule a run daily or weekly and compare price and soldCount per productId.
• Keep costs predictable: use maxPagesPerKeyword, reviewsForTopProducts and maxReviewsPerProduct, and set a max cost per run.
• Pasted URLs: filters you set on AliExpress (price range, free shipping, ratings) are kept in the URL, so paste the URL into searchUrls.
• Blocking: AliExpress sometimes shows a slider captcha to automated traffic. The actor detects it, pauses, rotates the session and, if you didn't set a proxy, switches to Apify datacenter proxy. It never reports a run as successful with zero results.

How do I monitor AliExpress for new items?

Turn on onlyNew and run the actor on an Apify schedule (e.g. daily; save the input as a task and schedule the task).

• The first run is a baseline and returns everything as usual. Later runs return, and charge for, only products (by productId) and reviews (by product and reviewId) not returned before. Skipped items are never charged.
• Review paging for a product stops after two pages with nothing new, so quiet days cost almost nothing.
• State lives in your account in the key-value store aliexpress-scraper-state, one record per combination of searches, product IDs, sort, reviews setting and ship-to country. Changing any of these starts a new baseline. It remembers the latest 50,000 items.
• Add a Slack, email or webhook integration to the task to get alerts.

AliExpress scraper FAQ

Does it need an AliExpress account, API key or cookies? No. It reads public search results and public reviews.

Does it scrape product detail pages (full description, all SKUs, stock)? No. Detail pages are heavily bot-protected; this actor sticks to search results and the review feed, which are fast and reliable. Use the url field to open a product.

How many products can I get per search? About 60 per page and up to 60 pages (AliExpress's limit), so up to ~3,600 per keyword. Use several keywords or filtered search URLs for more.

Why are some reviews in other languages? AliExpress shows reviews from buyers worldwide. Turn on translateReviews to add translations.

Can I use it through the API or with AI agents? Yes: Apify API, the Apify MCP server, or any Apify integration. Pricing is per event only.

Is scraping AliExpress legal? The actor only collects publicly available data that anyone can see without logging in. Reviews contain masked buyer names and free text; you are responsible for how you store and use the data (e.g. GDPR) and for complying with AliExpress's terms.
