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 Scraper: Exact Order Counts & Sales Per Day **AliExpress Scraper** - Search AliExpress and get the exact order count of every product - not '10,000+ sold' - plus how many orders each one gained since your last run. ### What does AliExpress Scraper do? Every product comes with its exact order number (153,715 instead of '100K+ sold') and repeat runs add ordersChange and ordersPerDay, so you see which products are selling right now - the popular AliExpress scrapers return the rounded 'sold' text and a fresh snapshot each time. - Exact order count per product (not '10K+ sold') - ordersChange and ordersPerDay since your last run - spot winning products - Price, original price, discount, rating, Choice badge, delivery estimate, listing date - Sort by orders or price, price range, up to 20 pages (1,200 products) per search - Retries AliExpress's check from a fresh connection - never solves it, stops clearly instead ### Why this AliExpress Scraper? AliExpress shows a slider check and stripped-down cards to many addresses, so cheap scrapers fail or return products without orders. This AliExpress Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows. ### Data you get from AliExpress Scraper Every result is one flat row with these fields (values from a real run): | Field | Example | |---|---| | `searchTerm` | phone case | | `page` | 1 | | `position` | 1 | | `totalResults` | 83729 | | `status` | seen | | `productId` | 3256808722668670 | | `title` | Luxury Magnetic Matte Translucent Armor Shockproof Case For ... | | `url` | https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256808722668670.html | | `price` | 0.33 | | `originalPrice` | 5.94 | | `discountPct` | 94 | | `currency` | USD | | `rating` | 4.9 | | `orders` | 153475 | | `soldText` | 100K+ sold | | `isChoice` | true | | `delivery` | Delivery: Oct 22 - 27 | | `listedDate` | 2025-04-25 | | `imageUrl` | https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/S6f0638ad548548fb9... | | `ordersChange` | -30 | | `ordersPerDay` | -17.5 | ### How to use AliExpress Scraper 1.

You pay only per result (pay per event) - no monthly fee, no minimum, and the price per result is lower on Apify's Bronze, Silver and Gold plans. The exact price is on the **Pricing** tab. Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it on real input. | You want | What you pay for | |---|---| | A quick test with the example | a few results | | A daily scheduled run | only the rows that run returns | | A big one-off export | the results delivered - set a maximum in the input | ### Also searched as - aliexpress search scraper - aliexpress product research - aliexpress orders - dropshipping winning products - aliexpress sales tracker ### FAQ **Does AliExpress Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only. **Can I run AliExpress Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows. **Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server. **Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA). **What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows. **Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - AliExpress Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it. ### Troubleshooting - **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once. - **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and AliExpress Scraper never logs in. - **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items. ### Your feedback Missing a field, found a bug, or need another site? Open an issue on the **Issues** tab - issues are answered and fixed. If AliExpress Scraper saved you time, a short review on this page helps others find it.
