AliExpress Product Scraper — e-commerce data extraction from AliExpress search, category and product pages

This AliExpress scraper turns AliExpress search, category and product pages into a clean, structured dataset. Paste the URL of a search like "smartphone" or a category like Women's Clothing and it returns the products listed there: product ID, title, price, original price, discount, rating, sales count, thumbnail and product URL. Paste a product URL, or switch on product details, and each product also comes with its variants (per-SKU price, stock and image), shipping options, store, review count, image gallery and specifications.

Teams use this AliExpress product data to research products before sourcing them, track prices in a niche over time, and build product catalogues for dropshipping stores. No account, cookies or API key are needed. Results export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

❓ FAQ

What is the AliExpress Product Scraper?

It is an AliExpress scraper that takes search, category and product URLs and returns AliExpress product data — title, price, discount, rating, sales count and image, plus variants, shipping and store when you want them — ready to export or feed into another tool.

Do I need an AliExpress account, cookies or an API key?

No. It reads only what AliExpress shows to any visitor, so there is nothing to log into.

How do I scrape AliExpress products for a keyword?

Search for the keyword on AliExpress, copy the URL of the results page (it looks like https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-smartphone.html) and paste it into startUrls. Filters and sorting you apply on AliExpress before copying the URL are kept.

Can I scrape a single AliExpress product page?

Yes. Paste product URLs (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006789883056.html) into startUrls, or put the numeric IDs in productIds. Each returns the full product with variants, shipping, store and specifications.

How many products can I get per run?

maxItems applies per search or category URL, not across the whole run, so five URLs with maxItems: 100 return up to 500 products. AliExpress shows up to 60 products per results page and up to 100 pages per search. Product URLs and IDs return one product each.

Should I switch on product details?

Switch on includeDetails when you need variants, stock, shipping cost or the store for search and category results. It takes one extra request per product, so a run of 100 products takes about a minute and a half instead of seconds. The price per product does not change.

Why do some results come back without details?

AliExpress sometimes refuses product details to an IP address. The Actor retries each product from several addresses; a product it still cannot load keeps its listing fields and has its detail fields empty. Running again later usually loads it.

Do I need a proxy?

No setup is needed: leave the default Apify Proxy setting. Product details are loaded through residential proxies in your ship-to country automatically. If you choose a proxy group yourself, it is used as you set it.

Can I get prices in my currency and shipping to my country?

Yes. Set currency, shipToCountry and language. Prices come back in the chosen currency and shipping options are quoted for the chosen country. A product that is not sold to that country is reported in the run log and left out.

Can I schedule it or integrate it with my app?

Yes. Every Apify Actor has a REST API, webhooks, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and Slack, and can be called from an AI agent via the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress?

This Actor accesses only publicly available pages. You are responsible for making sure your use complies with AliExpress's terms of service and the laws in your jurisdiction.

What if the site changes and the Actor breaks?

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. The Actor is tested against live AliExpress pages and fixed when the site changes.
