AliExpress Product Trends Scraper: Prices, Daily Sales & Best Sellers

AliExpress Product Trends Scraper is an AliExpress scraper that turns any keyword into a spreadsheet of products with prices, exact sold counts and daily sales. Use it for dropshipping product research and for finding best-selling and fast-growing AliExpress products. No AliExpress account, login or API key needed.

Most AliExpress scrapers return a list of products with a rounded "10,000+ sold" label. This one tells you how fast each product is actually selling, so you can tell a product that took two years to reach 12,000 orders from one that reached 9,000 in four weeks.

What can this AliExpress scraper do?

• Scrape AliExpress search results by keyword, or paste any AliExpress search or category URL.
• Get exact order counts, not just "10,000+ sold" labels.
• See daily sales for every product from the very first run, based on its launch date.
• Track sales growth between runs. Schedule the Actor daily and see which products are accelerating.
• Filter by price, rating, minimum sales, daily sales, free shipping and AliExpress Choice.
• Sort by best selling, newest, price or relevance, and rank the output by daily sales.
• Choose your market: prices, currency and availability for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or send results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or any webhook through Apify integrations.

How to scrape AliExpress products

1. Click Try for free and open the Input tab.
2. Enter one or more search keywords, for example led strip lights, or paste AliExpress search URLs.
3. Pick your ship-to country and a sort order. For proven sellers use Best selling. To find newer products use Newest.
4. Set Max products. Each product is one billed result, so this caps your cost.
5. Click Start. Download the results from the Output tab in JSON, CSV or Excel.

Find winning products with daily sales

Total orders favor products that have been listed for years. Daily sales is the fairer signal.

• First run: dailySales is the average since the product launched (dailySalesBasis: since_launch). A product launched four weeks ago with 9,000 orders shows about 320 a day, while a two-year-old product with 12,000 orders shows about 14 a day.
• Later runs: once at least a day has passed, dailySales becomes the real growth since your last run (dailySalesBasis: since_last_run), with soldDelta, soldGrowthPct and a trend of rising or flat. Under a day apart, you still get the change, but dailySales stays on the since-launch average.
• Why a day or more: AliExpress updates order counts with a delay. In a live 12-hour comparison most products had not changed yet, and a few counts were corrected slightly downward (shown as flat). Daily or weekly runs give meaningful growth.

To run a daily watchlist: create a Schedule in Apify, keep the same keywords, country and Tracking ID, and set Output order to Daily sales. Set Minimum daily sales (for example 20) to receive only products that are selling fast.

Output example

First run for the keyword yoga mat (US):

{
  "productId": "3256806808957451",
  "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806808957451.html",
  "title": "Yoga Mat Pilates Fitness Mat 3/4/6mm Thicknes Non Slip Yoga Cushion Travel Fitness Exercise Pad for Women Home Gym Floor Workout",
  "price": 5.79,
  "currency": "USD",
  "priceFormatted": "US $5.79",
  "rating": 4.9,
  "soldText": "10,000+ sold",
  "soldCount": 12400,
  "soldCountExact": true,
  "listedAt": "2024-05-16",
  "ageDays": 887.4,
  "lifetimeSoldPerDay": 13.97,
  "dailySales": 13.97,
  "dailySalesBasis": "since_launch",
  "trend": "new",
  "isNew": true,
  "isChoice": true,
  "freeShipping": false,
  "query": "yoga mat",
  "page": 1,
  "position": 1
}

A day or more later, the same product also carries its growth, for example "previousSoldCount": 12280, "soldDelta": 120, "soldGrowthPct": 0.98, "soldPerDay": 60, "trend": "rising", "dailySalesBasis": "since_last_run" (illustrative numbers).

How much does it cost?

You pay per product returned. See the Pricing tab for the current price. Apify platform usage is included. Use Max products to cap what a run can cost, and Apify's maximum-cost-per-run setting as a second safety limit.

Tips for best results

• Use a proxy for big runs. AliExpress slows down a single IP after roughly 10 to 20 pages, first by returning products without their sales data and then by blocking. With Apify Proxy enabled, the Actor switches IP automatically and finishes large runs. Without one, a run returns what it collected before the slowdown and says so.
• Keep keywords, country and sort the same between runs so growth is comparable. AliExpress reorders results from request to request, so a product may be new to a run simply because it moved into the pages you scraped. Scrape enough pages to cover your niche.
• Use a different Tracking ID for each watchlist or niche.
• To find new winners, sort by Newest and set a Minimum daily sales. The Newest sort is AliExpress's own ordering and is not strictly by launch date, so use listedAt to be exact.

Use cases

• Dropshipping product research: find products with high daily sales before the market saturates.
• Price research: compare price bands across categories and countries (prices shown on search results vary by session, so treat them as a snapshot).
• Market research: compare categories, price bands and demand across countries.
• Supplier sourcing: shortlist high-rated, high-volume products.

Use it from code

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("<YOUR_USERNAME>/aliexpress-product-trends-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchQueries": ["led strip lights"],
    "country": "US",
    "sortBy": "orders",
    "maxItems": 120,
    "minDailySales": 20,
    "outputOrder": "dailySales",
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item["soldCount"], item["dailySales"])

FAQ

Do I need an AliExpress account or API key? No. The Actor reads public search pages.

What happens if I run it with no input? It runs a small demo (up to 20 products for led strip lights) so you can see the output format. Add keywords or AliExpress URLs to search for your own products.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress? The Actor collects publicly visible product data. You are responsible for using it in line with AliExpress's terms and the laws that apply to you. Do not use it to collect personal data.

How accurate is the sold count? soldCount is the order count AliExpress exposes for the product at the time of the request, and soldCountExact tells you whether it is exact or parsed from the rounded label. It counts orders, not revenue. AliExpress refreshes it with a delay, so measure growth over a day or more.

How reliable is the price? It is the price AliExpress showed for that request. Search-result prices move between requests (coupons, new-shopper offers, cheapest variant), so the same product can show different prices a few hours apart. Use price as a snapshot, not a fixed list price.

How many products can I get per keyword? About 60 per page, and results run out around page 40 to 50, so roughly 2,400 to 3,000 products per keyword.

Why do I get fewer products than Max products? Your filters removed some, the keyword ran out of results, or AliExpress slowed the IP. The run's status message says which.

Why were some products skipped, and what is dataComplete? When AliExpress is rate-limiting an IP, it sometimes returns a product with only its title, price and image, and no sold count or launch date. Some products also show no price at all, for example when they cannot ship to your country. The Actor retries on a fresh IP and, by default, skips products that still lack sales data or a price, so you are never billed for a row without the data this Actor exists to provide. The status message tells you how many were skipped. Turn on Include products with missing sales or price data to keep them: they have dataComplete: false and the missing fields are empty.

Does it return reviews, variants, seller details or shipping costs? No. This Actor works from search results, which is what makes it fast and cheap. Shipping cost and delivery time are not shown on search results.

Can I use my own proxies? Yes. Add them under Proxy configuration.

Something looks wrong. Open the Issues tab with the keyword and settings you used. AliExpress changes its pages from time to time, and reports help keep the Actor working.
