AliExpress Products Scraper & Price Tracker

AliExpress Products Scraper & Price Tracker – prices and sales, no personal data

AliExpress products scraper and AliExpress price tracker: get product prices, discounts, ratings, units sold and shipping for any keywords, ship-to country and currency, as a clean table or through an API — no login. Use it as an AliExpress scraper for product research, dropshipping sourcing, competitor price monitoring and price-drop alerts.

No login, no cookies, no personal data: nothing to sign in to, no cookies to paste, nothing about buyers or sellers in the output.

• What you get: one flat row per AliExpress product for any keywords, ship-to (delivery) country, currency and language: price and original price, discount, rating, exact units sold, ship-from country, shipping, Choice badge, listing date, image and link; five filters and a price-monitoring mode that returns only what changed, or only the price drops. No personal data.
• For whom: dropshippers and resellers (sourcing), price-tracking and competitive-intelligence tools, market analysts, AI agents through MCP.
• How much: from $1.80 per 1,000 products on the Free plan, lower on paid plans; Apify's free monthly credit of $5 covers about 2,777 products. A fixed price per product saved and nothing else (see the Pricing tab); filtered-out products and unchanged prices are never charged; maxResults caps every run.

Sample output: one real row from a "wireless earbuds" search shipped to the United States, key columns only (the full row is under Output example):

{
  "platformProductId": "3256812817428248",
  "title": "2026 New Air 3【 Pro3 】 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds With Heart Rate Monitoring, Active Noise Cancellation Headphones, Waterproof for Daily Use, For IPhone IOS Smartphone, Gaming /Sports /Fitness Earphones.",
  "currency": "USD",
  "price": 27.29,
  "originalPrice": 64.02,
  "discountPercent": 57,
  "rating": 4,
  "soldCount": 32,
  "shippingFree": true,
  "shipsFrom": "US",
  "isChoice": false,
  "listedAt": "2026-08-20"
}

Scrape AliExpress search results for any keywords and get one flat row per product: current price and original price, discount, rating, exact number of units sold, ship-from country, free shipping and delivery estimate, main image, AliExpress Choice badge, listing date, sponsored flag and position in the results, for the ship-to country, currency and language you choose. Filter by minimum rating, units sold, ship-from country, Choice badge or listing date, and monitor prices: in price-monitoring mode a scheduled run returns only the new products and the price changes since your previous run, or only the price drops. This AliExpress scraper reads the public search pages without logging in, keeps one browsing session per search, removes duplicates and stops exactly at the number of products you ask for.

No personal data, by design. AliExpress search results show no seller, store or buyer, and the scraper keeps it that way: the rows contain product facts only. Store columns stay empty, no review text or reviewer is collected, and every row goes through a privacy filter before it is saved. The dataset is safe to store, share and feed to AI agents.

What can you do with AliExpress data?

• Monitor prices and discounts for a product category across countries and currencies: price tracking, competitive intelligence, deal detection. With monitorMode set to changes, a daily schedule gives you only the price drops, rises and new arrivals, and you pay only for those rows; add onlyPriceDrops for a price-drop alert list.
• Source products for dropshipping and resale: exact units sold, ratings, ship-from country (local warehouses vs China), Choice badge and delivery estimates for the destination you sell to; keep only 4.5-star products with 1,000+ orders shipped from your market with the filters.
• Study a market: what AliExpress ranks first for a keyword, how many products are sponsored, price distribution, share of local shipping.
• Feed AI agents, spreadsheets and BI tools with a stable, documented schema shared by the other scrapers of this e-commerce studio, so products from several marketplaces have the same columns.

What data does AliExpress Scraper extract?

Every row has every column: a value AliExpress does not show in search results is null (or [] / {} for lists and objects), so CSV and Excel exports keep the same columns from run to run.

Group	Columns
Identity	schemaVersion, platform, platformProductId, variantId, url, title, brand, category, categoryPath
Prices	currency, price, originalPrice, discountPercent, inStock, stockQuantity
Popularity	rating, ratingMax, reviewCount, soldCount, isBestSeller, isChoice, listedAt
Seller	storeType, storeName, storeId, storeUrl, storeRating
Shipping	shippingFree, shippingCost, deliveryEstimate, shipsFrom
Media and attributes	imageUrl, imageCount, attributes
Search context	isSponsored, searchQuery, searchRank, searchPage, viewCountryCode, scrapedAt
Price monitoring	changeType, previousPrice, priceDelta, priceDeltaPercent (null unless monitorMode is on, see below)

Search result cards show a subset of what a product page holds. For this Actor, brand, category, categoryPath, inStock, stockQuantity, reviewCount and shippingCost are always empty, attributes holds the AliExpress signals that have no column of their own, as text: soldCountText (the sales label as displayed, "1,000+ sold"), shipsTo (the delivery country), freeShippingThreshold (conditional free shipping, see Shipping, delivery and units sold by country), newShopperDeal and newShopperSaving on welcome-deal cards and, in monitoring runs, priceDirection (see Price monitoring); a key is absent when it does not apply. The seller columns (storeType is always unknown, storeName, storeId, storeUrl, storeRating are always null) stay empty by design. originalPrice is null when AliExpress shows no strike-through price (European sites show a 30-day lowest price badge instead), deliveryEstimate and shippingFree only when the card displays them (which depends on the ship-to country), isBestSeller only for cards with the "Top selling on AliExpress" badge. isChoice is true for cards with the AliExpress Choice badge (about two thirds of the cards in our captures), listedAt the date the product was listed, as published on the card (YYYY-MM-DD).

How to scrape AliExpress products

1. Enter search keywords, one per line ("wireless earbuds", "bluetooth speaker"), or paste AliExpress search URLs copied from your browser, with their category and filters.
2. Choose the ship-to country, the currency and the language. AliExpress adapts the catalogue, the prices and the shipping options to the destination, so pick the one your use case needs.
3. Set the maximum number of products per search, the sort order (best matches, most ordered, price) and, if needed, the price range, the free-shipping filter and the filters on rating, units sold, ship-from country, Choice badge and listing date.
4. Run and open the Output tab: the Overview, Prices, Ranking and Changes views show the main columns; export everything as JSON, CSV, Excel or through the API.
5. To follow prices, schedule the run and set monitorMode to changes with a monitorStoreName: every run after the first returns only what changed (see Price monitoring below).

Input

Give at least one keyword in searchQueries or one URL in startUrls. Search URLs copied from your browser keep their category and filter parameters; the sort order, price range and filters you set are applied on top, and searchQueries can then stay empty. Field names and defaults are those of the input form.

The input of our validation run: the first 60 products for "wireless earbuds" shipped to the United States, prices in USD, titles in English, AliExpress' own order (every other field keeps its default):

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "wireless earbuds"
  ],
  "country": "US",
  "currency": "USD",
  "language": "en",
  "sortBy": "default",
  "maxResults": 60
}

Every field, with its type and default:

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	—	Search keywords, one search per entry, as typed in the AliExpress search box. Prefilled with "wireless earbuds".
startUrls	string[]	[]	AliExpress search result URLs copied from your browser (category and filter parameters kept). Sorting and filters below are applied on top only when set.
maxResults	integer	100	Stop each search after this many unique products. You are never charged for more. Prefilled with 20 in the form.
maxPages	integer	100	Safety cap on result pages read per search (60 products per page).
sortBy	string	"default"	default (best matches), orders (most ordered), price_asc or price_desc. AliExpress sorts each page of 60 on its own: exact order within a page, approximate across pages (sort the dataset by price for a strict order).
priceMin	integer	—	Minimum price in the selected currency, a whole number (e.g. 10).
priceMax	integer	—	Maximum price in the selected currency, a whole number (e.g. 50), at least priceMin.
freeShippingOnly	boolean	false	Keep only products AliExpress ships for free to the selected country.
includeSponsored	boolean	true	Keep the sponsored products mixed into the results (flagged in isSponsored) or skip them.
minRating	number	—	Keep only products rated at least this value (0–5, e.g. 4.5). Unrated products are left out.
minSold	integer	—	Keep only products with at least this many units sold, compared with the exact figure (soldCount: "1,000+ sold" can be 1,720). Products without a sales figure are left out.
shipsFrom	string[]	[]	Keep only products shipped from these countries (ISO codes: US, CN, FR…). Products with an unknown origin are left out. Empty = every origin.
choiceOnly	boolean	false	Keep only products with the AliExpress Choice badge (isChoice).
listedWithinDays	integer	—	Keep only products listed within the last N days (listedAt), for new arrivals. Products without a listing date are left out.
country	string	"US"	Ship-to (delivery) country, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (US, GB, FR, DE, BR…). Catalogue, prices, shipping badges and delivery dates follow it. Recorded in viewCountryCode and attributes.shipsTo.
currency	string	"USD"	Currency for every price, ISO 4217 code (USD, EUR, GBP…).
language	string	"en"	Language of titles and badges: en, fr, es, de, it, pt, nl, pl, ru, uk, tr, ja, ko, th, vi, id, ar, he.
monitorMode	string	"off"	off: every product. changes: only new products and price changes since your previous run of the same search. all: every product with its changeType. Compared rows carry attributes.priceDirection (drop, rise, same).
monitorStoreName	string	—	Required when monitorMode is on: names the key-value store that keeps the previous prices (aliexpress-monitor-<name>, in your account). One name per schedule; letters, digits and dashes. Formerly monitorKey, still accepted: same store, same previous prices.
onlyPriceDrops	boolean	false	With monitorMode on: write and charge only the products whose price went down since the previous run (a price-drop alert list). The first run records the prices and writes nothing.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy":true}	Apify datacenter proxies by default, included in the price; keep them, or bring your own proxy URLs.
maxRequests	integer	500	Safety cap on result pages fetched in one run, all searches included.
delayMs	integer	800	Pause between two page requests of the same search, in milliseconds.
debugStoreHtml	boolean	false	Debugging only: store every fetched page in the key-value store.

Output example

One real row, produced by the Actor from a "wireless earbuds" search shipped to the United States (USD, English). All columns are present, in this order, for every product:

{
  "schemaVersion": "ecommerce-product/1.1",
  "platform": "aliexpress",
  "platformProductId": "3256812817428248",

  "changeType": null,
  "previousPrice": null,
  "priceDelta": null,
  "priceDeltaPercent": null
}

price is the "from" price of the cheapest variant as displayed on the search card, after the discount; variantId identifies that variant. soldCount is the exact number of units sold: AliExpress rounds the label on the card ("900+ sold" on the first French result, kept in attributes.soldCountText) but its card data carries the exact figure (981 for that product), which the scraper uses when it agrees with the label. attributes.shipsTo repeats the delivery country. The last four columns are filled in price-monitoring runs only.

The Output tab offers four views of the same rows: Overview (title, price, currency, original price, discount, rating, units sold, ships from, free shipping, sponsored, Choice, link, image), Prices (product and variant ids, price, original price, discount, currency, free shipping, delivery estimate, ships from), Ranking (query, page, rank, sponsored, best-seller and Choice flags, listing date, units sold, rating, ship-to country) and Changes (price-monitoring runs: change type, price, previous price, difference, query, link).

Shipping, delivery and units sold by country

AliExpress adapts the shipping badges of the search cards to the ship-to country, and shows no shipping fee on them. The scraper reads what the card shows for the country you chose and leaves the rest null; viewCountryCode and attributes.shipsTo carry that country on every row. What our captures of 2026-10-19 contained:

Ship-to country	Free shipping	Delivery date (deliveryEstimate)	Units sold (soldCount)
United States (US)	shippingFree true on about a quarter of the cards (74 of 286), null on the others	on more than half of the cards (159 of 286), e.g. "Oct 25 - 30"	exact on every product with a sales label (339 of 339 across all captures)
France (FR)	every card says it: shippingFree true (28 of 60) or attributes.freeShippingThreshold = "10.00" for "Free shipping over 10€" (32 of 60)	none: French cards show no delivery date, so deliveryEstimate is null	exact, e.g. 981 behind "900+ sold"
Other countries	read the same way when the card shows a badge, null otherwise	read when the card shows a date, null otherwise	exact when AliExpress has the figure, else the lower bound of the label

Badges are read in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. freeShippingThreshold is the order amount above which shipping is free, in currency; shippingFree stays null on those cards because a single cheap item may not reach it. RUN_STATS.extra.soldCountsRounded counts the rows where only the rounded label was available (none in our captures), and the run log warns when they exceed a fifth of the products.

Filters

AliExpress itself only filters by price range and free shipping (priceMin, priceMax, freeShippingOnly, applied in the search URL). The five filters below are applied by the scraper after each page is read and before anything is saved: a product that does not pass them is never saved, never charged and does not count in maxResults, so "100 products rated 4.5 or more" gives you 100 such products.

Filter	Keeps	Leaves out
minRating	products rated at least the value (decimals allowed)	products without a rating yet
minSold	products with at least that many units sold (exact figure, soldCount)	products without a sales figure
shipsFrom	products shipped from one of the listed countries	products whose origin is not shown
choiceOnly	products with the AliExpress Choice badge	the others, including cards without any badge
listedWithinDays	products listed within the last N days (calendar days, today = 0)	products without a listing date

The run log says how many products each filter removed, and RUN_STATS.extra keeps the counters (filteredOut, filteredOutMinRating, filteredOutMinSold, filteredOutShipsFrom, filteredOutChoiceOnly, filteredOutListedWithinDays). Strict filters cost pages: the scraper reads up to maxPages pages per search and stops a search after 5 consecutive pages without a single product passing the filters, with an explicit log message, instead of reading 100 pages for nothing. A run where no product at all passes the filters ends as failed, like any empty run, so loosen the filters or raise maxPages when that happens.

Price monitoring

Set monitorMode to changes and give a monitorStoreName, then schedule the run (daily is typical). The scraper keeps the last price of every product it compared in a key-value store of your account named aliexpress-monitor-<monitorStoreName>, with one record per search (same keywords or URL, ship-to country, currency, sort order and filters). The first run of a search is the reference: every product comes back with changeType = "new" (and RUN_STATS.monitorBaseline is true). From the second run on, in mode changes the dataset holds only the new products and the products whose price changed, with the previous price and the difference, and only those rows are charged; a run where nothing changed succeeds with an empty dataset. Mode all returns every compared product with its changeType (new, price_changed or unchanged). In both modes maxResults is the number of products compared per search.

Every compared row also says which way the price moved in attributes.priceDirection: drop, rise or same (absent on new products and when the currency changed, since there is nothing to compare). Set onlyPriceDrops to true to write and charge only the drops, whatever the mode: the dataset of each scheduled run is then a ready-made price-drop alert list, empty on days without a drop. Every compared price is still recorded, rises included, so the next drop is measured from the latest price. RUN_STATS.monitor counts priceDrops and priceRises.

A scheduled input that watches the 100 best-selling wireless earbuds shipped to the United States:

{
  "searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "country": "US",
  "currency": "USD",
  "sortBy": "orders",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "monitorMode": "changes",
  "monitorStoreName": "earbuds-daily"
}

A price_changed row, as the Actor produces it from the row of the output example when the previous run had recorded 29.99 USD (the other columns are the same as above):

{
  "platformProductId": "3256812817428248",
  "title": "2026 New Air 3【 Pro3 】 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds With Heart Rate Monitoring, Active Noise Cancellation Headphones, Waterproof for Daily Use, For IPhone IOS Smartphone, Gaming /Sports /Fitness Earphones.",
  "currency": "USD",
  "price": 27.29,
  "changeType": "price_changed",
  "previousPrice": 29.99,
  "priceDelta": -2.7,
  "priceDeltaPercent": -9,
  "attributes": {
    "soldCountText": "32 sold",
    "shipsTo": "US",
    "priceDirection": "drop"
  }
}

What to know before relying on it:

• The record is written only after a search that ended cleanly. A blocked, failed or empty search, a run stopped by its budget or an interrupted run never overwrites the reference, so a bad day cannot erase your prices; the log says when a record was kept unchanged.
• Same currency only. A price is compared only with a previous price in the same currency; when AliExpress switches the displayed currency, the product is reported unchanged and the new currency becomes the reference.
• Welcome deals are compared as displayed. On cards flagged attributes.newShopperDeal, price is the first-time-buyer price; a card gaining or losing that deal shows up as a price change. Filter those rows out if you track regular prices.
• Rankings move. AliExpress reshuffles results between sessions, so the set of compared products (the top maxResults of each search) drifts a little from run to run; a product that drops out of the results and comes back later is not reported as new (its last price is kept for 90 days). The catalogue also depends on the ship-to country: one store name per country.
• One store name per schedule. Runs sharing a monitorStoreName share the records; changing the keywords, country, currency, sort or filters of a search starts a new reference for it. Delete the key-value store in Apify Console to start over.
• Saved inputs with monitorKey keep working. The field was renamed monitorStoreName on 2026-10-20; a task or schedule that still sends monitorKey uses the same store, hence the same previous prices, and the log asks you to rename the field.

How much does it cost to scrape AliExpress?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a fixed price per product saved to your dataset, and nothing else. On the Free plan, products cost $1.80 per 1,000, so Apify's free monthly credit of $5 covers about 2,777 products; paid plans pay less per product, and the price of every plan tier is on the Pricing tab of this page.

What you pay for	How it is counted	Price
result event: one product saved to your dataset	once per unique product of the run, capped by maxResults	Pricing tab, per plan tier
Run start	a symbolic amount, once per run	Pricing tab
Compute, proxies, storage and data transfer	included: no platform usage is passed on to you	—

The cost of a run is known before you start: 1,000 products cost 1,000 times the result price of your tier, whatever the number of pages fetched. Products removed by the filters are not charged, and in price-monitoring mode changes only the new products and the price changes are charged (only the price drops with onlyPriceDrops). A page of 60 products takes a few seconds; a run of a few hundred products takes under a minute.

Limits and behaviour worth knowing

• Search results only. The Actor reads search result cards, not product pages: review counts, stock, variants, attributes and seller details are not available (see the column notes above). Product pages are heavily protected on AliExpress and are out of scope.
• 60 products per page, about 15 of them sponsored. Sponsored cards are kept and flagged in isSponsored by default; set includeSponsored to false to skip them. searchRank counts every card of the page, sponsored ones included.
• Rankings move and totals are approximate. AliExpress reshuffles results between sessions and announces a different total on every page. The scraper keeps one session per search (same proxy session, same cookies and headers), removes duplicates by product id across the whole run, and stops when two consecutive pages bring nothing new, when the announced results are exhausted, or at maxResults / maxPages. Deeper pages repeat 15–20 % of the products already seen (sponsored cards included): 600 unique products take about 12 pages.
• The ship-to country changes everything. The catalogue, the prices, the currency and the shipping options depend on country; rows obtained with different countries are not comparable. When AliExpress displays prices in a currency other than the one requested, the rows carry the displayed currency and the run log says so.
• Prices are "from" prices. The search card shows the cheapest variant after discount; originalPrice and discountPercent are the strike-through price and the percentage off as displayed. European sites often show no strike-through price (a 30-day lowest price badge instead).
• Welcome deals: some prices are for first-time buyers only. Outside the EU, AliExpress shows visitors "welcome deal" prices on part of the cards (more than half of the rows of a US search in our tests): price is then the price a new shopper pays, originalPrice the price before that saving, and the row carries attributes.newShopperDeal = "true" with attributes.newShopperSaving (the saving as displayed, in currency). Filter on it when you track regular prices. French pages showed no welcome deals.
• Sorting by price is per page. With sortBy set to price_asc or price_desc, AliExpress sorts each page of 60 separately and pages overlap, so the order is exact within a page and only approximate across pages; price-sorted pages carried no sponsored cards. Sort the dataset by price for a strict order.
• Promo cards without a price are skipped. Cards that advertise a free gift for new shoppers show no price: they are not saved and not charged; the run log and RUN_STATS.extra.productsWithoutPrice count them.
• Shipping details depend on the ship-to country. AliExpress prints a delivery date on US cards but not on French ones, and French cards show "Free shipping over 10€" where US cards show nothing: deliveryEstimate and shippingFree are null where the site shows nothing (see Shipping, delivery and units sold by country).
• Blocking. AliExpress search pages are served to Apify datacenter proxies without challenge in our tests. If a page is unusable, the scraper opens a new session and retries once, then gives up on that search and reports it in the log. If a whole run is blocked, raise delayMs and try again later, or open an issue with your run id: blocking changes are fixed as a priority.
• No empty successes. A run that finds no product ends as failed with an explicit message (keywords misspelt, filters too strict, or blocked), so that your schedules and integrations notice. The one exception is a price-monitoring run that compared products and found no change: it succeeds with an empty dataset.

Integrations and API

Start the Actor from Apify Console, schedule it, or call it from the Apify API with any language (the API tab shows ready-made code for Node.js, Python and curl). Webhooks notify your systems when a run finishes; the dataset can be pulled as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS, or pushed to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack, Airtable, Google Drive and more through the Apify integrations.

Use it from your AI assistant

Add this Actor as a tool to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client with the Apify MCP server URL below (sign in with your Apify account when asked):

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=myth84/aliexpress-search-scraper

Then ask in plain words. Copy this prompt and change the details:

Use myth84/aliexpress-search-scraper to find the 30 best-selling wireless earbuds on AliExpress delivered to France, prices in EUR. Input: {"searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds"], "country": "FR", "currency": "EUR", "sortBy": "orders", "maxResults": 30}. Show the title, price, original price, discount, rating, units sold, ship-from country and link of each product.

For AI agents (MCP)

Through the Apify MCP server this Actor is a tool that answers questions such as "what do wireless earbuds cost on AliExpress when shipped to France, in euros?" or "find the best-selling bluetooth speakers under 30 dollars that ship from the United States".

Minimal input (every other field keeps its default; raise maxResults only when the question needs more rows):

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "bluetooth speaker"
  ],
  "country": "FR",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "maxResults": 20
}

• Key output fields: platformProductId, title, url, price, originalPrice, discountPercent, currency, rating, soldCount (exact units sold), shipsFrom, shippingFree, deliveryEstimate, isChoice, imageUrl, viewCountryCode (delivery country); in monitoring mode changeType, previousPrice, priceDelta and attributes.priceDirection (drop, rise, same). Every column is always present, in a fixed order; null means AliExpress did not show the value. The full list is in What data does AliExpress Scraper extract? above.
• Use it when you need current AliExpress search results for keywords: prices, discounts, ratings, units sold, ship-from country, Choice badge, images. Pass searchQueries (or startUrls), country, currency, language, optionally sortBy, priceMin / priceMax, freeShippingOnly, the filters minRating, minSold, shipsFrom, choiceOnly, listedWithinDays, and a small maxResults (20–60 is enough for an answer). To report price changes between two calls, pass monitorMode: "changes" and a stable monitorStoreName; add onlyPriceDrops: true to get only the products whose price went down.
• Do not use it for product pages, reviews, stock, variants, seller information or anything behind a login: it only reads public search results and collects no personal data.
• Cost per 1,000 results: 1,000 result events, $1.80 per 1,000 on the Free plan and less on paid plans (Pricing tab); nothing else is charged (filtered-out products and, in monitoring mode, unchanged prices are free).
• Typical time: a few seconds per page of 60 products: 20 products in under ten seconds, a few hundred in under a minute.

Alternatives and switching

• Official API. AliExpress's official APIs belong to its affiliate and seller programmes and need an approved account and app keys. This Actor reads what any visitor sees in AliExpress search results (public prices, discounts, units sold, shipping for your delivery country) with no account, no keys and no approval.
• Your own scraper. Nothing to build or maintain: sessions, retries, pagination, deduplication and AliExpress page changes are handled for you. The columns stay the same from run to run, a run that finds nothing fails with an explicit message instead of succeeding empty, and a scheduled test run catches AliExpress changes early.
• Another scraper from the Store. The input names differ from one Actor to the next; the usual ones map to this Actor as follows:

Usual input	Here	Note
search, query, keyword	searchQueries	Several keywords per run
startUrls	startUrls	AliExpress search URLs
maxItems, limit	maxResults	Unique products per search, never charged beyond
shipTo, country	country	Delivery country: prices, shipping and delivery follow it
currency, language	currency, language	ISO 4217 code, AliExpress language
minPrice, maxPrice	priceMin, priceMax	In currency
sort	sortBy	default, orders, price_asc, price_desc
proxy	proxyConfiguration	Apify proxies, included in the price

FAQ

Does AliExpress Scraper collect personal data?

No. Search result cards show no seller, store or buyer, and the scraper outputs product facts only: prices, discount, rating, units sold, shipping, image, position in the results. Store columns are always empty and every row goes through a privacy filter before it is saved.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress?

The Actor only reads pages that AliExpress serves to any visitor without an account, and it stores no personal data. Scraping public data is generally lawful, but you are responsible for how you use the results and for complying with AliExpress' terms of use and the laws that apply to you (including copyright on product texts and images). Use the data for analysis, not to republish listings.

What if my runs get blocked? Do I need proxies?

Apify datacenter proxies (the default) work for AliExpress search pages and are included in the price. If a run reports blocked pages, increase delayMs and try again later, or bring your own proxy URLs; persistent blocking is fixed as a priority, open an issue with your run id.

Why do I get fewer products than AliExpress announces, or the same product twice across runs?

AliExpress announces thousands of results but the usable depth of a search is smaller, and its ranking changes between sessions: the scraper removes duplicates within a run by product id, which is why a page may yield fewer than 60 new products, and stops when two pages bring nothing new. Deeper pages also repeat 15–20 % of the products already seen. Across separate runs, use platformProductId to deduplicate.

Which countries, currencies and languages are supported?

Any ship-to country AliExpress delivers to (country, ISO code), any currency it displays (currency) and 18 interface languages (language). Prices, catalogue and shipping follow the ship-to country; if AliExpress ignores the requested currency for a country, the rows carry the currency actually displayed.

What are the sponsored, best-seller and Choice badges, and how do I find new arrivals?

AliExpress mixes about 15 sponsored cards into each page of 60; they are flagged in isSponsored and can be skipped with includeSponsored. isBestSeller is true for cards carrying the "Top selling on AliExpress" badge. isChoice is true for products in the AliExpress Choice programme (platform-curated offers with combined shipping and free returns); set choiceOnly to keep only those. listedAt is the date the product was listed, as shown on the card; listedWithinDays keeps only products listed within the last N days.

What do price, originalPrice and discountPercent mean?

price is the current price of the cheapest variant as shown on the search card ("from" price, after discount), originalPrice the strike-through price when AliExpress shows one, and discountPercent the percentage off as displayed. All three are in currency for the ship-to country. On rows flagged attributes.newShopperDeal, price is the welcome-deal price AliExpress offers first-time buyers and originalPrice the price before that saving.

How often should I run it, and how do I get only price changes?

Every run fetches live search results. Prices, discounts and rankings change daily, so schedule the Actor as often as your use case needs (daily is typical for price tracking) and compare runs by platformProductId, country and currency, or let the Actor compare them for you: set monitorMode to changes, choose a monitorStoreName (for example earbuds-daily) and schedule the run. The first run records every product of the search and returns it as new; each later run returns only the products that appeared since and the products whose price changed, with previousPrice, priceDelta and priceDeltaPercent, and charges only those rows. A run without any change succeeds with an empty dataset. The previous prices live in the key-value store aliexpress-monitor-<monitorStoreName> of your account; keep the same keywords, country, currency, sort and filters from run to run, and use one store name per schedule. Use monitorMode = all to get every product with its changeType.

How do I get alerted when prices drop?

Turn on price monitoring with onlyPriceDrops and schedule the run. With this input, each run returns, and charges, only the products whose price went down since the previous run, each with previousPrice, priceDelta, priceDeltaPercent and attributes.priceDirection = drop:

{
  "searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "country": "FR",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "sortBy": "orders",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "monitorMode": "changes",
  "monitorStoreName": "earbuds-fr-drops",
  "onlyPriceDrops": true
}

Save it as a task, then add a daily schedule in Apify Console (Schedules). The first run records the prices and writes nothing; from the second run on, a non-empty dataset is your alert, and a day without a drop succeeds with an empty dataset. To be notified, connect the task to e-mail, Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook through the Integrations tab of the task.

How do I export or integrate the results, and where do I get support?

From the run's Output tab (JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS) or automatically: Apify API, webhooks, scheduled runs and integrations with Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack and others; AI agents can call the Actor through the Apify MCP server. For bugs or questions, open an issue in the Issues tab of this Actor with your run id and input: page-layout changes are fixed as a priority, feature requests (other marketplaces of the studio) are welcome.
