AliExpress Scraper API — Products, Variants, Reviews & Sellers

Scrape AliExpress products by keyword, category or URL and get one clean row per product — price and discount, orders sold, rating, every SKU variant with its own price and live stock, shipping cost and delivery dates for your country, full specifications, customer reviews and the seller's profile.

$2.00 per 1,000 products on the free plan, from $1.50 per 1,000 on paid plans. Reviews cost from $0.40 per 1,000 — the cheapest review extraction in this category. No login, no cookies to manage, no API key, no code, and no proxies to configure.

What does this AliExpress Scraper do?

Three modes, one dataset shape. Pick the job and paste your input:

Mode	You give it	You get back
Search & listings	Keywords, or any AliExpress search / category URL	One row per product found — price, discount, orders sold, rating, delivery estimate, promo badges
Product details	Product URLs or bare product IDs	The same rows, filled out: every variant, live stock, shipping options, specs, gallery, seller
Reviews	Product URLs or bare product IDs	One row per product with its reviews attached as a list

AliExpress has no practical public API for bulk product data — the affiliate API is gated behind partner approval and returns a narrow slice of fields with no variant-level stock, no review text and no shipping quotes. This Actor is a working unofficial AliExpress API: it collects the same publicly visible data a shopper sees, and returns it as structured JSON you can query.

---

One row = one product (no record soup)

Most scrapers scatter a single product across several record types and leave you to join them by ID. This one doesn't. Every row is one product, and everything belonging to it lives in a named field on that row:

• skus — every purchasable variant with its own price, original price, live stock, availability and image
• variantProperties — the option groups (Color, Size…) and their values
• shipping — cost, carrier, delivery window, ETA dates, tracking, plus options for every alternative
• store — the seller: ratings, positive-feedback rate, years active, follower count, service scores
• reviews — that product's reviews, as a list
• reviewsSummary — the star breakdown plus recurring review themes with mention counts
• specifications / specificationsFlat — specs as pairs, and as one flat object that exports cleanly to CSV

One product is one object you can hand straight to your code. Rows are written the moment each product is complete, so results start appearing within seconds and stopping a run early keeps everything already collected.

What data can you extract from AliExpress?

Pricing — price, originalPrice, discountPercent, currency, priceMin / priceMax across variants, taxRate, taxAmount, coupons, promotionTags, bundleDealUrl.

Demand signals — rating, reviewsCount, ordersText (as displayed), ordersCount (parsed), ordersCountExact (where AliExpress exposes it), ordersCountSeller, wishlistCount, listedAt, isChoice, isAd.

Variants & stock — skus[] with skuId, attributes, price, originalPrice, stock, available, image; plus variantProperties, skuCount, stockTotal, maxPerBuyer, selectedSkuId.

Shipping — shipping.cost, .free, .provider, .shipsFrom, .shipsTo, .deliveryDaysMin / .deliveryDaysMax, .deliveryEtaMin / .deliveryEtaMax, .tracking, .options[].

Product content — specifications, specificationsFlat, description, images, imagesCount, manualUrl, afterSaleService, buyerProtection, complianceNotes, categoryId, categoryPath.

Reviews — reviews[] with rating, text, textTranslated, reviewerName, reviewerCountry, date, variant, logistics, images, helpfulVotes, aspectRatings; plus reviewsSummary with average, count, fiveStar…oneStar, positiveRate, withPhotos, highlights[].

Seller & store — store.name, .storeId, .url, .logo, .sellerId, .country, .openedAt, .yearsActive, .positiveRate, .ratingCount, .level, .topRated, .localWarehouse, .scoreCommunication, .scoreAsDescribed, .followers.

Keyword insights (optional) — totalResults, relatedKeywords, trendingKeywords, seoDescription, and facets: every on-site filter with its values — brands, materials, colours, styles, shipping origins, price bands. A real run returned 15 facet groups for one keyword.

Sample field values

price / originalPrice	0.99 / 6.81
discountPercent	85

How to scrape AliExpress step by step

1. Sign up for Apify — the free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which is about 2,500 products or 5,000 reviews on this Actor.
2. Open the Actor and pick What to scrape: Search & listings, Product details, or Reviews.
3. Enter a keyword like wireless earbuds, or paste AliExpress URLs, or paste bare product IDs.
4. Set Max items — a hard ceiling on rows, so the run cannot bill past it.
5. Pick your Deliver to country and language. Prices come back in that country's currency.
6. Tick the extras you want: full product details, customer reviews, description text, keyword insights.
7. Click Start. Rows appear as they are found — click Export for JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

---

How do I control the cost?

Two independent brakes, both enforced in code:

Max items is a hard ceiling on dataset rows. One row is one product, so it is effectively your maximum number of products. Variants, shipping, seller data and reviews ride inside the row. The run stops the moment the ceiling is reached.

Extras are opt-in. Leave Add full product details off for a fast, cheap price-and-orders sweep at the listed-product rate. Turn it on only when you need variants, stock, shipping and seller data.

Reviews are billed per review, not per request, so a product with 2,000 reviews costs the same whether it takes 1 request or 100.

---

Which products are supported as input?

Paste any of these into Product URLs or IDs — all are accepted:

3256810343908999
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256810343908999.html
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810343908999.html
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/3256810343908999.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256810343908999.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0

You can also paste search URLs, category URLs and product URLs together into AliExpress URLs — product pages are detected automatically and scraped as full details, everything else is paginated as a listing.

How much does it cost to scrape AliExpress?

You pay per result, with no monthly fee and no minimum. Prices drop automatically on higher Apify plans.

Event	Free plan	Paid plans from
Product from search	$2.00 / 1,000	$1.50 / 1,000
Product with full details	$6.00 / 1,000	$4.40 / 1,000
Customer review	$1.00 / 1,000	$0.40 / 1,000
Keyword insights report	$3.00 / 1,000	$1.80 / 1,000

Worked examples

Job	Free plan	Paid plans from
1,000 products from search	$2.00	$1.50
1,000 products with full details	$6.00	$4.40
500 products + 20 reviews each	$13.00	$6.20
100 products + 200 reviews each	$20.60	$8.44

The Apify free plan's $5 monthly credit covers roughly 2,500 products from search, 833 products with full details, or 5,000 reviews — enough to evaluate the Actor properly before paying anything.

Pricing is all-in: everything the run needs to fetch the data is included in the per-result price.

---

Integrations

Send the dataset anywhere without writing code: Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Slack, Airtable, n8n, GitHub, or your own endpoint via webhooks.

For code, use the official JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, or the CLI. Use Apify Schedules to run price checks daily or weekly, and webhooks to trigger your pipeline the moment a run finishes.

Export formats: JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML and RSS.

---

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool for LLM agents through the Apify MCP server. Point your agent at pro100chok/aliexpress-scraper and it can call it directly.

Tool description for your agent: given an AliExpress keyword, category URL, product URL or product ID, returns one JSON object per product with pricing, variants and stock, shipping to a chosen country, specifications, seller profile and reviews.

Example prompt:

Find the 20 best-selling wireless earbuds under $10 on AliExpress that ship to Germany in under 14 days, and give me each one's variant stock levels and the seller's positive-feedback rate.

Output interpretation: every row is one product. Variants are in skus, the seller is in store, reviews are in reviews, and the star breakdown is in reviewsSummary. Absent fields mean AliExpress did not publish that value for that product.

Cost guidance for agents: set maxItems to the number of products you actually need — it is a hard ceiling. Leave includeProductDetails off when only price and orders are needed.

---

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress?

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, and this Actor only collects information any visitor can see on AliExpress without logging in. It does not access private accounts, and it does not collect buyer contact details — review author names arrive masked by AliExpress itself (D***n).

You are responsible for how you use the data: comply with applicable law, including GDPR and CCPA where personal data is involved, and with AliExpress's terms. For a fuller treatment, read Apify's guide on whether web scraping is legal. If you plan to publish or resell scraped content, take your own legal advice first.

---

Limitations

Stated plainly, so nothing surprises you:

• Listing pages are rate-limited by AliExpress. The Actor retries them on fresh connections and parks a page it cannot load to come back to it later, but a run started during a heavy limiting window can return fewer pages than requested.
• Delisted products, and products unavailable in your chosen delivery country, return no data. Those are skipped rather than written as empty rows, so they never consume your item budget.
• If a product's full record cannot be read, the row is still delivered with everything the listing provided — you may see a row with prices and ratings but no skus, shipping or store.
• Currency follows the delivery country. Requesting a currency the country does not use is reported in the log and the country's currency is used, so a row never mixes two currencies.
• The rating breakdown in reviewsSummary is AliExpress's own aggregate across similar listings, so its star counts sum to reviewsCount rather than to reviewsSummary.count.
• Not every field is populated for every product. AliExpress omits values for many listings; check several rows before concluding a run failed.
• There is no built-in change detection or incremental mode — schedule the Actor and diff the datasets on your side.

FAQ

Does AliExpress have a public API?

Not a practical one for this. The affiliate API needs partner approval and returns a narrow field set with no variant stock, no review text and no shipping quotes. This Actor is the working alternative.

Do I need an AliExpress account or cookies?

No. No login, no cookies, no API key, no browser extension.

Do I need to set up proxies?

No. Everything needed to fetch the data is included in the per-result price and configured by default.

Can I scrape all variants and their stock?

Yes — turn on Add full product details, or use the Product details mode. Each variant comes with its own price, original price, live stock, availability and image. A real run returned 252 variants on one product.

How many products can I collect per keyword?

60 per listing page, up to 60 pages per keyword — about 3,600 products per keyword, across as many keywords as you like. maxItems caps the total.

Can I scrape reviews in bulk?

Yes, up to 2,000 per product, optionally filtered to reviews with buyer photos, follow-up reviews, or reviews from your own region. They arrive as a reviews list on the product's row together with reviewsSummary.

Are prices in my currency?

Prices come back in the currency of the delivery country you pick — Germany in EUR, the US in USD, Japan in JPY. Choose the country whose currency you want.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes — JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML and RSS. Nested fields like skus and reviews stay as JSON inside the cell; specificationsFlat is provided specifically so specs export as clean columns.

Will every field be filled for every product?

No. AliExpress does not publish every value for every listing, and empty fields are omitted rather than written as nulls. Check several rows before assuming something went wrong.

Will I be charged for URLs that return nothing?

No. Products that are delisted or unavailable in your delivery country are skipped instead of being written as empty rows, so they cost you no result events.

Why did I get fewer results than maxItems?

Either the search genuinely has fewer matches, maxPages capped the crawl, or AliExpress rate-limited some listing pages during the run. The log states which, per page.

Can I get the seller's email or phone number?

No. AliExpress does not publish seller contact details, so the Actor cannot return them. You get the store URL, ratings, service scores, country and years active.

How do I find suppliers rather than products?

Turn on Add full product details. Every row then carries a store object with the seller's ratings, positive-feedback rate, years active and service scores — group or deduplicate by store.sellerId on your side.

Can I track prices automatically?

Yes. Fix the delivery country so numbers are comparable, put your product IDs in productUrls, and run it on an Apify Schedule. Diff the datasets between runs.

Does it work with mobile or regional AliExpress URLs?

Yes. Bare IDs, www.aliexpress.com, aliexpress.us and regional subdomains such as de.aliexpress.com are all accepted, with or without tracking parameters.
