AliExpress Products Scraper

Search AliExpress by keyword and get one row per listing: product id, title, a clean link, the current price in one currency, the old price where there is a real markdown, the advertised discount, star rating, lifetime order count, the image and the Choice badge. No account, no API key.

It reads search listings and stops there. It never opens a product page, so there is no seller name, no review text and no shipping cost in the output.

Input	Search terms, or AliExpress search URLs
Output	One row per product: price, old price and discount, star rating, lifetime orders, images, delivery window, selling-point labels, Choice and ad flags
Ceiling	5,000 products per run, or per term with maxItemsPerTerm
Account needed	None
Price	$0.12 per 1,000 products on the Free plan, a little less on paid plans. The free plan's $5 a month covers about 41,000

🔍 What AliExpress Products Scraper does

You give it terms like phone case or wireless earbuds. It walks the search listings 20 products at a time and writes a row for each one, until it has the number you asked for or the term runs out.

Every price in one currency. Left alone, AliExpress picks the display currency itself, and a single dataset can come back with some rows in USD and some in EUR with nothing on the row saying which. Setting currency pins it for the whole run, so price means one thing when you sort or total the file, and every row carries currency so you never have to remember what you picked.

Titles in your language. Pick one of 14 languages and AliExpress returns its own translated titles, with the order badge in ordersText following along.

Results reshuffle as you page through them, which is AliExpress's doing. Rows are de-duplicated on productId as they arrive, so maxItems means unique products, not raw cards seen.

▶️ How to scrape AliExpress products

1. Open AliExpress Products Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Type your terms into Search terms, one per line.
3. Set Maximum products, or Products per term to give each term its own cap. 40 is enough to see the shape of the output.
4. Pick a Sort by, Currency, Ship-to country, Language or Filters if the defaults do not suit you, then click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Run it with no input at all and you get one labelled sample row, free.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape AliExpress products?

$0.12 per 1,000 products on the Free plan. Paid plans pay a little less: $0.118 on Starter, $0.116 on Scale and $0.114 on Business. On the free plan, the $5 Apify gives you each month covers about 41,000 products.

You pay per product row. The sample row and diagnostic rows are not charged, and the same product appearing again on a later page is dropped before it becomes a row. Products your filters leave out are free too, and the review count is part of the product price. One exception: with a price monitor, every product checked is charged, including the ones onlyChanged does not write.

📥 What you give it

{
  "searchQueries": ["phone case", "wireless earbuds"],
  "maxItemsPerTerm": 500,
  "minOrders": 100,
  "currency": "USD",
  "country": "US"
}

maxItems is shared, and the first term fills it first: these two terms with maxItems: 1000 would come back as 1,000 phone cases and no earbuds. maxItemsPerTerm gives each term its own cap.

Field	Default	What it is
searchQueries	none	What to search for, one term per line.
productUrls	none	AliExpress search URLs, if you would rather paste than type. The keyword is read out of the URL. An item page here gives you a BAD_INPUT row.
maxItems	40	Total products across all your terms, up to 5,000. The first term fills it first.
maxItemsPerTerm	none	Products per term, up to 5,000 each. When set, maxItems is not used.
sortBy	relevance	AliExpress's own order, or priceAsc, priceDesc, ordersDesc (most orders first) or rating (highest rating first, unrated last). AliExpress sorts one page of 20 at a time; rating is sorted on each term's products once the term is done.
currency	USD	The currency every price in the run comes back in: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, BRL, RUB, JPY, KRW or INR.
country	US	Two-letter ship-to country, which AliExpress uses for pricing and availability.
language	en_US	The language titles come back in: es_ES, fr_FR, de_DE, it_IT, pt_BR, nl_NL, pl_PL, tr_TR, ru_RU, ja_JP, ko_KR, ar_MA or th_TH.
minOrders	none	Only products with at least this many lifetime orders.
minRating	none	Only products rated at least this, 0 to 5. Unrated products are left out once it is set.
minPrice, maxPrice	none	A price band, in your currency.
freeShippingOnly	none	Only listings that show free shipping. Free shipping over a minimum spend does not count.
choiceOnly	none	Only products with the Choice badge.
shipFromCountry	none	Two-letter code, such as US or ES. Only listings that say they ship from there; one that does not say is left out. Local stock shows for the matching country: Spanish stock with ES, not with US.
includeReviewCount	false	Adds reviewCount. The run gets slower; the price does not change.
monitorName	none	Turns on the price watch: letters, digits and hyphens, up to 38. Last prices are kept in a key-value store on your account named aliexpress-price-monitor- plus this name, one list per currency and ship-to country, up to 20,000 products. A new name marks every product isNew.
onlyChanged	false	With monitorName: write only new and repriced products.
requestDelayMs	800	Gap between page requests, in milliseconds. Setting it to 0 falls back to 800.
proxyConfiguration	none	Optional. Leave it empty; the actor is set up to run without it. Your own servers are used exactly as given.

A value the actor can't use, like an unknown sortBy or a minPrice above maxPrice, stops the run with a free BAD_INPUT row before anything is searched.

Field	How to read it
price	What the listing sells for today, in your chosen currency. On AliExpress that is usually a sale price.
originalPrice	The price before the markdown, and null when the seller is not running one. Expect plenty of nulls rather than a copy of price dressed up as a discount.
discountPercent	The discount AliExpress advertises on the card. It can be present on a row where originalPrice is null, as above, because the two come from different places on the card.
priceText	The price as the card prints it, like US $1.09. null when the card carries no price block, and then originalPrice and discountPercent are null too. In our tests that was between about one card in five and one in two, depending on the search. price is still read from the card's own numbers on those cards.
orders	The exact lifetime order count, not a recent figure. Sort on this one.
ordersText	The rounded badge a shopper actually sees, like 2,000+ sold.
isAd	true on a paid placement. Roughly a fifth to a quarter of search rows are these. They are real listings, just promoted.
productUrl	Rebuilt from the product id, so it is clean and carries no tracking.
promoLabels	The text labels on the card, in the run's language. Picture-only badges have no text and are not listed. null when there are none.
freeShipping	true when the card shows free shipping, false when it shows other labels but not that one, null when it shows none. Free shipping over a minimum spend is false.
deliveryMinDays to deliveryToDate	AliExpress's delivery estimate for your ship-to country. All four are null when the card gives none.
imageUrls	The main image first, then each variant's picture once. null when the card lists no variant pictures.
reviewCount	Only with includeReviewCount. null when the count could not be read; the row is still charged.
previousPrice, priceChange, isNew	Only with monitorName. previousPrice is last run's price in the same currency, priceChange the difference, both null on a new product.

🧾 Reading the output

Row	How to spot it	Billed
A product	It has a productId and no _sample or _diagnostic key	yes
The sample row	_sample: true, only when no search term or URL was given	no
A diagnostic	_diagnostic: true and a status	no

Product rows carry no charged flag; the sample and diagnostic rows carry charged: false. The sample row has a productId like a real one, so to keep only products, drop every row with _sample or _diagnostic.

status	What it means
BAD_INPUT	That URL is not an AliExpress search URL, or a sortBy, language or filter value the actor can't use. A value like that stops the run before anything is searched.
NO_RESULTS	AliExpress found nothing for that term, or nothing that passed your filters. When it fills the page with unrelated picks of its own instead, none of them are taken or charged. Usually a typo or a term that is too narrow.
FEW_MATCHES	Fewer than 2 of the first 100 products for that term passed your filters, so that term stopped there. leftOutByFilters says how many were left out, none of them charged.
MONITOR_UNAVAILABLE	The price watch's store could not be opened, so nothing was searched. Run it again in a few minutes.
SEARCH_FAILED	That term could not be read, or AliExpress answered it without the sort or language you asked for. Re-run it.
NOT_SERVED	This product was not served this run. Re-run it later. Until 12 October 2026 this code was called BLOCKED.
TIME_LIMIT	The run got close to its time limit and stopped on its own. The products delivered before that are complete and charged. Give the run more time, or ask for fewer products, to get the rest.

A diagnostic row never fails the run, except two: when the time limit stopped the run before any product came back, the run ends as failed with a TIME_LIMIT row saying so, and a MONITOR_UNAVAILABLE run fails too.

💡 What people use it for

• Sizing a niche before sourcing it: pull 1,000 rows for a term and look at where price clusters and how far orders runs.
• Finding what actually sells rather than what ranks, by sorting on orders instead of position.
• Watching a term weekly: give it a monitorName, schedule it, and turn on onlyChanged to get just the new listings and the ones that changed price.
• Dropping isAd rows to see the organic ranking on its own, or keeping only them to see who is paying for that term.

🚧 What it does not do

• Search listings only. No product pages, so no description, no specifications, no variants and no SKU-level prices.
• No seller or store fields. AliExpress took store name, seller id and seller country off its search cards, so there is no column rather than a column that is always empty.
• No review text and no shipping cost. Both live on the product page; includeReviewCount adds only the number of reviews.
• The sort is per page, not strict across pages. With sortBy set, every page of 20 comes back in that order, but page 2 can start above where page 1 ended. Sort the dataset yourself if you need one exact order. rating is the exception.
• orders is lifetime, not recent. A listing from 2019 with 18,000 orders is not necessarily selling today.
• Paid placements are mixed in, around a fifth to a quarter of rows, flagged isAd.
• A term can stop early. When AliExpress stops answering for a page, the run ends that term with a NOT_SERVED row and keeps everything already delivered.
• Prices are what AliExpress shows for your ship-to country, before any coupon, and they move constantly. scrapedAt records when the row was read.
• It is not an official AliExpress tool. Dami's Studio is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by AliExpress or Alibaba, or by any other company named on this page.

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need an AliExpress account or an API key?

No. Everything here is public search data.

Why are my AliExpress prices in the wrong currency?

They will not be if you set Currency. It is pinned for the whole run and echoed on every row.

Can I paste an AliExpress product link?

No. productUrls takes search URLs and reads the keyword out of them. An item page comes back as BAD_INPUT.

Why is originalPrice empty on so many rows?

Because most listings are not on a markdown. A blank is the honest answer there.

Why did my second search term return nothing?

maxItems is shared and the first term filled it. Set maxItemsPerTerm instead.

Can I call it from code or connect it to an AI assistant?

Yes. The API tab has ready-made code for Python, JavaScript and the command line. For Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client, connect https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dami_studio/aliexpress-products-scraper. Either way the run happens on your Apify account at the same price.

Is scraping AliExpress legal?

These are public listings. Check AliExpress's terms and your own local rules before using the output commercially. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the search term and the run ID; if you got a diagnostic row, its status usually names the problem on its own.
