AliExpress Search Scraper — No API Key, No Login

Scrape AliExpress search results into clean, structured JSON — no API key, no login, no browser setup. Enter any keyword (like bluetooth headphones or phone case) and get one row per product: title, sale price, original price, discount %, star rating, and orders/sold count, plus currency, product URL, and image. AliExpress has no open product-search API and rate-limits datacenter IPs, so this Actor is built for bulk extraction — price tracking, competitor and market research, and dropshipping product research — and you pay per result delivered.

For reliability at scale it runs on US residential proxies with per-session cookie warm-up, automatic session rotation on blocks, and browser-like TLS/header fingerprinting via got-scraping.
