How to scrape AliExpress

1. Enter search keywords, such as yoga mat, or paste search or category links from AliExpress.
2. Choose the sorting, the number of products per search, the ship-to country and, if you like, a price range or other filters.
3. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or use them through the API.

Example input

{
  "searchQueries": ["yoga mat", "resistance bands"],
  "startUrls": ["https://www.aliexpress.com/category/100003109/women-clothing.html"],
  "sort": "orders",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 300,
  "shipTo": "GB",
  "minPrice": 2,
  "maxPrice": 30,
  "minRating": 4.5
}

Sorting is relevance (best match), orders, price_asc or price_desc. shipTo is a two-letter country code; currency (such as EUR) is optional and defaults to the currency of that country. shipFrom (such as US or ES) keeps only products from that warehouse country.

Use cases

• Dropshipping product research: find best sellers in a niche with sort by orders, a minimum sold count and a minimum rating, and see delivery times to your customers' country.
• Price monitoring: track prices and discounts of a search or category every day and spot price drops.
• Competitor and market research: see which products lead a search, how they are priced and how many units they have sold.
• Search position tracking: record where products rank for your keywords over time.
• Local warehouses: list products that ship from the United States or Europe, with their delivery days.
• Datasets and AI: clean, structured product data for catalogs, classification and LLM pipelines.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results: $1.50 per 1,000 products. That is the price on the Apify Free plan. Paid Apify plans pay less: $1.35 per 1,000 products on Starter, $1.20 on Scale and $1.05 on Business, which is the "from" price shown in Apify Store. There is no start fee, and proxy costs are included. The Apify free plan covers about 3,300 products every month.

Tips

• Best sellers: choose Orders sorting and set Minimum sold; the search stops as soon as a whole page is below that number, so you do not pay for products you would filter out anyway.
• Prices for new customers: AliExpress often shows a lower first-order price to new visitors. Such products have isNewShopperPrice: true and a badge such as "New shoppers save £12.32"; originalPrice is the regular price shown next to it.
• Promotional prices change: the price on the search page is often a promotion and can differ from one visit to the next, while the regular price stays put. In our test, 26 of 99 products showed a different search-page price four minutes later; the regular price changed for 5. For margins and price tracking, use originalPrice as well as price.
• Only real search results: AliExpress sometimes fills a page with recommendations of other products, especially when shipping to Canada. The Actor loads such pages again from a new address and saves only the search results, so the positions and the sorting stay right.
• Category links: category pages are empty when shipping to France or Spain. Search keywords there, or use another ship-to country for the category.
• Store names: AliExpress puts the store on some cards only (most often on sponsored products), so storeName is empty for many products.
• Daily monitoring: save your input as a task and add a schedule. Every run records the current price, sold count and position of each product.
• Errors per search: see the SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store.

FAQ

Why not just ask an AI chatbot? A chatbot with web search sees a few product pages and cannot list hundreds of products of a search with their current prices, sold counts and positions. This Actor reads AliExpress search pages themselves: every product of a search or category, up to 3,600, with prices and sales as numbers in the same fields every time, at a fixed price per 1,000 products. AI agents can call it as a tool through Apify's MCP server.

Does it scrape product pages, variants or reviews? No. It reads search and category results, which are fast and cheap to load. It does not collect reviews or reviewers' names.

Why is the sold count higher than the label? AliExpress rounds the label down ("5,000+ sold"); soldCount is the number from AliExpress's own counter on the same card.

Why do I get fewer products than AliExpress says it has? AliExpress shows at most 60 pages of 60 products for one search. For more, split the search: add price ranges, categories or more specific keywords.

What happens when AliExpress shows a check page? AliExpress asks for a check after a few pages from one address. The Actor does not solve it: it loads the page again from a new proxy address.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress? The Actor collects publicly available product listings from AliExpress search pages, without logging in. Check the terms that apply to your use case. This Actor is not affiliated with AliExpress or Alibaba.

Integrations and API

• Google Sheets, Slack, email and BI tools: connect the Actor to Make, Zapier or n8n, or use the Integrations tab of this Actor. Schedule it daily to track prices and sales over time.
• Webhooks: call your own URL when a run finishes, for example to load the results into your database.
• AI agents (MCP): add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=robertosan16/aliexpress-search-scraper as an MCP server in Claude, Cursor or VS Code, and your agent can search AliExpress with this Actor.
• API: one request runs the Actor and returns the products, for runs of up to 5 minutes. Start longer runs with the runs endpoint and read the dataset when they finish.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/robertosan16~aliexpress-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["yoga mat"],"sort":"orders","maxItemsPerSearch":60,"shipTo":"US"}'
