## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 products

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## AliExpress Search Scraper - Prices, Orders, Ratings

Scrape **AliExpress search results** for any keyword: title, **price and original price**, discount, **orders sold**, rating, **ship-from country**, delivery badges, image and link. Sort by **most orders** to find best sellers.

### Why this one

- **Built for product research.** Sort by orders, filter by price, compare discounts.
- **Your market's prices.** Pick the ship-to country and currency.
- **Sold counts as numbers.** "10,000+ sold" becomes `sold: 10000`.
- **Bulk keywords**, 60 products per page, duplicates removed.
- **You only pay for products.** Failed searches are listed in `RUN_SUMMARY` and cost nothing.

### Input

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Searches | `phone case`, `mechanical keyboard` |
| Sort by | Best match, most orders, price |
| Min / max price | `5` / `50` |
| Ship to / currency | `US` / `USD`, `DE` / `EUR` |

Every field is optional except **Searches**.

### Output

One row per product. Example:

```json
{
    "source": "aliexpress",
    "id": "3256813008723085",
    "title": "Silicone Korean INS Cute Polka Dot Phone Case For iPhone 17 15 16 14 13 11 12 Pro Max Plus Shockproof Luxury Fashion Soft Cover",
    "price": 1.27,
    "originalPrice": 3.13,
    "currency": "USD",
    "discountPercent": 59,
    "rating": 4.9,
    "sold": 439,
    "soldText": "439 sold",
    "shipsFrom": "CN",
    "badges": [
        "Fastest delivery in 6 days",
        "Free shipping",
        "iPhone17 | iPhone17 Pro | iPhone17 Pro Max | iPhone17e | APPLE",
        "https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/S135d2af8d57840b28092ceba069bdb6c4/110x42.png",
        "Extra 2% off with coins",
        "#FCCDD6",
        "Save $1.86 in 24hrs",
        "#FCCDD6"
    ],
    "isAd": false,
    "listedAt": "2026-09-15T00:00:00Z",
    "image": "https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/S4536f275f54047659c06794e1b5c0df4y.jpg",
    "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256813008723085.html",
    "searchQuery": "phone case"
}
```

Each row also has `searchQuery`: the search that found it. A summary of the run (products per search, the site's total
for each search, and any searches that failed) is saved as `RUN_SUMMARY` in the key-value store.

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the Output tab, or use the API.

### Use cases

- **Dropshipping product research:** best sellers by orders and price.
- **Price monitoring** for your keywords in your currency.
- **Market sizing:** how many products and at what price points.

### Pricing

Pay per product. See the Pricing tab. Searches that fail are free.

### Good to know

- AliExpress shows up to 60 pages per search.
- When AliExpress asks for a slider check, the Actor retries on another IP and, if needed, residential proxies, at no extra cost to you.
- Search cards don't include the store name; open `url` for full product details.
- This Actor reads public pages only. It does not log in and does not collect personal data about job seekers or shoppers.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searches": [
    "phone case",
    "mechanical keyboard"
  ]
}' |
apify call dariandanciu/aliexpress-search-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dariandanciu/aliexpress-search-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
