AliExpress Scraper: Real Prices, Ads Flagged

What does AliExpress Product Search Scraper do?

It searches AliExpress US by keyword and returns every product as clean, structured data: regular price and shown price, discount, units sold, rating, free shipping, ship-from country and delivery estimate, with paid ads and free-gift promos flagged. Think of it as an AliExpress search API for dropshipping and product research: find what actually sells, at what price, and whether it ships from a US warehouse.

In short: the regular price next to the teaser price (83% of prices a scraper sees are first-order-only deals), ads and free-gift promos flagged, and $3 per 1,000 products.

Why use it?

• The real price, not the teaser. AliExpress shows every new visitor first-order-only "New shoppers save $X" prices, and a scraper is always a new visitor. In a sample of 1,196 search results, 83% of organic prices were these one-time deals. The median shown price was $1.33, while the median regular price was $10.91. Every row has price (what the page shows), regularPrice (what a returning buyer pays) and isNewShopperDeal.
• Ads are flagged. About a quarter of AliExpress search results are paid placements. Every row has isSponsored, so you can tell what sells from what someone paid to show you.
• Free-gift promos are labelled. AliExpress mixes "FREE with any purchase" new-shopper gifts into results. They have no real price, and here they're labelled (promo) instead of passed off as $0 products.
• Organic results only, if you want. One switch leaves out ads and gift promos. You're not charged for anything left out.
• Units sold as a number. "10,000+ sold" becomes soldCount: 10000, so you can sort and filter. The original text is kept too.
• Reliable, and tested every day. When AliExpress throws a robot check, the run retries on a fresh connection instead of failing. An automated check also runs a real search every morning and checks the data itself (prices, units sold), not just that the run finished.

How to scrape AliExpress search results

1. Open the Actor and click Try for free.
2. Enter one or more search keywords.
3. Set Max products per keyword (up to 1,200) and, if you like, a sort order and a price range.
4. Turn on Organic results only to leave out ads and free-gift promos.
5. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

How much does it cost to scrape AliExpress?

$0.003 per product delivered, so 1,000 products cost $3. Duplicates and anything left out by "Organic results only" are never charged. There's also a tiny start fee of $0.00005 per run.

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which covers about 1,600 products a month. The run checks your max charge and stops cleanly when it's reached.

Input

See the Input tab for every option:

• Search keywords: one search per keyword
• Max products per keyword: up to 1,200 (AliExpress shows 60 per page)
• Sort by: best match, most orders, price low to high, price high to low
• Min / max price in USD
• Organic results only: leave out ads and free-gift promos

Output

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML. Two real rows (tags shortened):

[
  {
    "keyword": "desk lamp",
    "position": 1,
    "page": 1,
    "productId": "3256812724208588",
    "url": "https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256812724208588.html",

    "price": 17.41,
    "regularPrice": 53.39,
    "isNewShopperDeal": true,
    "originalPrice": 53.39,
    "discountPct": 67,

    "soldCount": 57,
    "soldText": "57 sold",
    "isSponsored": false,

    "freeShipping": false,
    "shipFrom": "US",
    "deliveryEstimate": "Oct 20 - 26",
    "listedDate": "2026-08-09",
    "imageUrl": "https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/Sc6d7ad78b1f14364a4d2eb81d278d1569.png",
    "tags": ["New shoppers save $35.98", "Delivery: Oct 20 - 26"]
  },
  {
    "keyword": "desk lamp",
    "position": 4,
    "page": 1,
    "productId": "3256809212003633",
    "title": "Foldable Table Lamp Led Desk Lamp 3 Type Stepless Dimmable Touch Bedside ...",
    "price": 3.33,
    "regularPrice": null,
    "isNewShopperDeal": true,
    "originalPrice": 13.94,
    "soldCount": 4000,
    "soldText": "4,000+ sold",
    "isSponsored": true,
    "promo": "Dollar Express",
    "shipFrom": "CN"
  }
]

The second row is a paid ad with a "Dollar Express" teaser price that doesn't say how much it saves, so regularPrice is left empty rather than guessed.

Tips

• For product research, turn on Organic results only and sort by most orders. Compare regularPrice, not price.
• Rank by soldCount rather than rating: most products are rated 4.5 or higher, so ratings barely tell them apart.
• shipFrom: "US" marks US-warehouse stock with faster delivery.

FAQ

Can I get product details or reviews? Not in this Actor. It returns what the search results show, which is fast and cheap.

Does it work for other countries? Not yet. It searches the US storefront (aliexpress.us) and returns prices in USD.

Why is price empty for some products? Those are "FREE with any purchase" gifts. They have no price on the search page, so the field is empty (null) rather than a made-up number.

Why is soldCount a round number? AliExpress rounds ("10,000+"), so it's a lower bound.

Can I use it from code or an AI assistant? Yes. Use the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients (see the API tab), connect it to Make, Zapier or Google Sheets, or schedule it. AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor can call it through Apify's MCP server: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=honestdata/aliexpress-product-search.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress? This Actor collects public product listings only: no personal data, no logins and no reviews. Check that your use fits AliExpress's terms and the rules that apply to you.
