AliExpress Search Scraper: Prices, Sold Count & Rank

What is AliExpress Search Scraper?

AliExpress Search Scraper extracts AliExpress search results for any keyword, aliexpress.com search URL or category (/category/...) URL. For every result you get the search rank (position), AliExpress product ID, title, price, original price and discount, rating, the exact number of orders sold (not just "1,000+ sold"), store name, ship-from country, Choice and free shipping flags, delivery estimate, promotion tags and images.

Pick any ship-to country and currency — for example Germany in EUR or the UK in GBP — and get the prices, local-warehouse items and delivery estimates shoppers in that country see.

Use it for dropshipping product research, AliExpress keyword rank tracking, price monitoring, supplier and competitor research and market sizing. Run it in Apify Console, on a schedule, or from Python, JavaScript, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent (MCP).

Why this AliExpress search scraper

• 💸 $1.00 per 1,000 results. Repeated products, results without a price and blocked pages are free.
• 🔢 Exact sold count. AliExpress rounds the label ("1,000+ sold"); soldCount gives the real number behind it (e.g. 1039), so you can rank products by actual orders.
• 🌍 Any country and currency. Set shipTo (US, GB, DE, FR, CA, AU…) and currency (USD, EUR, GBP…). Results include shipFrom, so you can see which items ship from a local warehouse (e.g. DE, PL, UK) instead of China.
• 🏆 Exact rank across pages. Pages of one search are read in order, so position continues from page to page (1…60 on page 1, 61…120 on page 2).
• 🧹 No duplicates. AliExpress repeats some products on later pages (about 18% of 600 results in our tests). Each product is returned once per search, at the rank where it first appeared, and repeats are not charged.
• 🆔 One global product ID. US shoppers see different card IDs (3256…); they are converted to the global product ID (1005…) used in aliexpress.com/item URLs, so IDs match across countries.
• ⚡ Fast and light: plain HTTP, no browser. 60 results per page, up to 60 pages (3,600 results) per search.

10,000 results	$10.00

AliExpress rank tracking and sold counts, explained

• position — overall rank across all pages of the search, including sponsored placements (ads).
• positionOnPage — rank on the current page.
• organicPositionOnPage — rank among non-sponsored results on the page (null for ads).
• soldCount — the exact number of orders AliExpress has for the product. soldText is the rounded label shoppers see ("900+ sold"). New products without orders have both fields null.

Turn off Include sponsored results to save organic results only — the organic rank stays the same.

Use cases

• Dropshipping product research — sort by orders (bestsellers) and compare soldCount, price, discount and rating to find winning products.
• AliExpress keyword rank tracking — schedule a daily run and follow where your products rank for each keyword.
• Price monitoring — track price, original price and discount for a niche over time.
• Local warehouse sourcing — set shipTo to your market and filter by shipFrom to find items that ship fast from a local warehouse.
• Market sizing — totalResults and up to 3,600 results per search show how crowded a niche is.
• Cross-marketplace comparison — run the same keywords with Amazon Search Scraper or Walmart Search Scraper and compare price and demand.

Use the AliExpress search API

Python (apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("jaaylee/aliexpress-search-scraper").call(
    run_input={"searchTerms": ["wireless earbuds"], "maxPagesPerSearch": 2, "sort": "bestsellers"}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["position"], item["productId"], item["price"], item["soldCount"])

Find the best-selling products under a price that ship from a local warehouse:

run = client.actor("jaaylee/aliexpress-search-scraper").call(
    run_input={"searchTerms": ["yoga mat"], "maxPagesPerSearch": 5, "shipTo": "DE", "currency": "EUR", "maxPrice": 30}
)
items = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
local = sorted((i for i in items if i["shipFrom"] in {"DE", "PL", "ES", "FR"}), key=lambda i: -(i["soldCount"] or 0))
for i in local[:10]:
    print(i["soldCount"], i["price"], i["currency"], i["shipFrom"], i["title"][:60])

JavaScript / Node.js (apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('jaaylee/aliexpress-search-scraper').call({
    searchTerms: ['phone case'],
    maxPagesPerSearch: 2,
    shipTo: 'GB',
    currency: 'GBP',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((i) => console.log(i.position, i.productId, i.priceText, i.soldCount));

cURL (synchronous run that returns the results):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/jaaylee~aliexpress-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["phone case"], "maxPagesPerSearch": 1}'

Export to CSV from the command line:

$curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?format=csv&view=overview&token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" -o aliexpress.csv

Integrations: Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks and schedules

• Schedules: run daily or hourly from Apify Console → Schedules for rank and price tracking.
• Google Sheets: export each run to a sheet with the Apify Google Sheets integration.
• Make, Zapier, n8n: start runs and read results with the official Apify apps and nodes.
• Webhooks: get notified when a run finishes and process the results in your system.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor works with the Apify MCP server. An AI agent can find it with a query like "AliExpress search", read its input schema and call it to fetch AliExpress products, prices and sold counts for a keyword — for example to shortlist dropshipping products in one conversation.

Tips for accurate AliExpress search data

• Sort by orders for product research. bestsellers sorts by orders, and soldCount tells you how far apart the top products really are.
• Use URLs for filters. Apply filters on aliexpress.com (Choice, free shipping, 4 stars & up, brand…) and paste the URL — the filters are kept and only the page number is set by the Actor.
• Keep the country and currency fixed between runs. Prices, promotions and even the result order depend on the ship-to country; keep the same settings so your history stays comparable.
• Specific queries return fewer, better results. For very specific queries AliExpress may show only a few exact matches; unrelated "you may also like" fillers are skipped and not charged.
• Cap the cost. Set Max results in total or a maximum charge per run; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached and you only pay for results saved before that.
• Monitor with failure alerts. For scheduled monitoring tasks, turn on Fail run on low data quality so that a run with mostly blocked pages shows up as failed and triggers your Apify notifications.

Limitations

• Results are read as a guest shopper (no login). Prices for new shoppers ("New shoppers save $…") and coins discounts are shown in tags; price is the price shown on the result card.
• storeName is shown by AliExpress only on some result cards (mostly sponsored ones); it is null otherwise. Store IDs, shipping fees and full specifications are on the product page, not in search results.
• shipFrom uses AliExpress codes; the United Kingdom is UK.
• AliExpress shows at most 60 pages per search. Use more specific keywords or filters to reach more products.
• CAPTCHAs (slider checks) are never solved; blocked pages are retried on fresh sessions and, if still blocked, skipped for free.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress search results?

This Actor only reads publicly visible search pages without logging in and does not collect personal data. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and AliExpress's terms. If in doubt, consult a lawyer.

How is soldCount different from "1,000+ sold"?

AliExpress rounds the label on the result card. The page also contains the exact order count, which this Actor returns in soldCount. soldText keeps the label as shown.

Can I get prices in euros or pounds?

Yes. Set Ship to country (e.g. DE, GB) and Currency (e.g. EUR, GBP). AliExpress then shows the prices, local-warehouse items and delivery estimates for that country.

Why are some products missing from page 2 or 3?

AliExpress repeats some products on later pages. With Skip repeated products on (default) each product is returned once, at its first rank. Turn it off to get every card exactly as shown.

Can I scrape an AliExpress category instead of a keyword?

Yes. Paste a category URL (aliexpress.com/category/...) into Search keywords or URLs. Sort and price filters work the same way.

Found a bug or need a field?
