AliExpress Search Scraper

AliExpress search results as rows: price, original price, new-buyer deal flag, exact sold count, rating, Choice, free shipping, delivery days, and store. For dropshippers, sellers, and product researchers who track prices, find winning products, and compare suppliers on AliExpress.

Last verified working: 2026-10-31 (automatic live test run passed).

• Price: $2.00 per 1,000 products. No subscription; you pay only for products saved. Failed inputs are free. Try it on Apify's free plan (up to 20 products per run).
• Export: JSON, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, or the API. Works with Make, Zapier, n8n, and AI agents (MCP).

Every run tells you plainly what worked and what did not: no silent empty runs.

What you can do with it

• Winning products: sort by soldCount (the exact order count, not "10,000+") and rating to see what sells for a keyword.
• Real prices, not teaser prices: newBuyerDeal marks first-time-buyer prices, and regularPrice shows what a returning buyer pays. Turn on Skip new-buyer deals to leave them out.
• Price monitoring by country: pick Ship to and get prices, currency, and delivery times for that country; schedule the same keywords and compare price per productId.
• Supplier shortlists: filter by rating, orders, Choice, and free shipping, then collect storeName and url for the products that pass.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 rows, plus $0.001 per run start. No subscription.

Event	When	Price
Actor start	Once per run (per GB of memory; the default 256 MB counts as one)	$0.001
Result row	Each row saved to the dataset	$0.002

Example	Rows	Cost
10 products	10	$0.001 + $0.02 = $0.021
100 products	100	$0.001 + $0.20 = $0.201
1,000 products	1,000	$0.001 + $2.00 = $2.001

• Retries after a bot check or a temporary error cost you nothing. You pay only for rows saved.
• An input that fails after all retries saves one error row so you can see what failed and why. Error rows are free.
• On Apify's free plan a run stops at 20 rows. Any paid Apify plan removes this limit.
• Set Max total charge per run in the run options. The Actor stops cleanly at that limit and keeps every row saved so far.

What you can count on

• Same columns on every row. Missing values are null, so spreadsheets and databases never break.
• No silent failures. An input that fails gets an error row with errorCode and a plain-language errorMessage. The other inputs keep running.
• A clear run summary. The run status says how many results were saved, how many inputs failed, and why. The same numbers are saved as the RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store, for automations.
• Automatic retries. Bot checks and temporary errors are retried with a fresh request before an input counts as failed.
• Limits respected. Max results and your spending limit stop the run cleanly.

Use it from code, automations, and AI agents

API (returns the rows when the run finishes):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/plumblinedata~aliexpress-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["phone case"]}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("plumblinedata/aliexpress-search-scraper").call(run_input={"keywords": ["phone case"]})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('plumblinedata/aliexpress-search-scraper').call({"keywords": ["phone case"]});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

No-code: connect the Actor in Make, Zapier, n8n, or Google Sheets through Apify's integrations, or add a webhook to get notified when a run finishes.

AI agents (MCP): add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=plumblinedata/aliexpress-search-scraper to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. The agent can call this Actor as a tool with the same input as above.

Limitations

• Ship to supports the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Mexico, and Japan. shipTo and currency on every row say which country AliExpress actually used.
• Sold count, rating, and store come from the search page itself. AliExpress fills them for most products on page 1, but on some pages only for about half; empty means AliExpress did not show it, never guessed.
• Sort order is AliExpress's best match. Filters (price, rating, orders, Choice, free shipping) are applied to the results, and products they leave out are not charged.
• Search cards show one price per product (the cheapest option). Variant prices, shipping cost, and full specifications are on the product page, which this Actor does not open.
• Titles and badges are in the ship-to country's language (German titles for Germany, for example).

FAQ

Why is the price $1.09 for so many products? Those are AliExpress Welcome Deals for first-time buyers. newBuyerDeal is true for them and regularPrice is the seller's normal price. Price filters use the regular price for these products.

Why is soldCount bigger than the card says? AliExpress rounds the number on the card ("10,000+ sold"). soldCount is the exact count from the same page; soldText keeps the card's wording.

Can I get more than 60 products per search term? Yes. Raise Pages per keyword (up to 10). Each page is up to 60 more products.

Why do some prices come back in another currency? AliExpress decides the country from the visitor's location. If it picks a different one, shipTo and currency show it on every row, and the run log says so.

What does an error row mean? It marks an input that failed after retries. errorCode is short (blocked, empty_result, not_available, http_404, or invalid_... for a bad ID or URL) and errorMessage says what to do. Remove error rows with a filter on type.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Create a task with your input in Apify Console, then add a schedule (for example every day at 8:00).

Is it legal to collect this data? The Actor reads public pages that anyone can open without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data, including copyright, personal data rules such as GDPR, and the site's terms. If you are not sure, ask a lawyer.

How do I scrape AliExpress search results? Put your search terms in Search keywords (keywords) and pick a Ship to (shipTo) country. Each product becomes a row with price, sold count, rating, shipping, and store.

How to find winning products on AliExpress Search your niche in Search keywords (keywords), set Min sold (minSold) and Min rating (minRating), and sort the rows by soldCount.

How to find AliExpress products with free shipping Turn on Free shipping only (freeShippingOnly); add Choice only (choiceOnly) to keep only Choice products.
