AliExpress Scraper: products, prices, exact sold counts and review stats

Scrape AliExpress products into clean JSON, CSV or Excel, without login, cookies or a browser. Search by keyword, read category or search links, paste product links, or search by image with a product photo, and get every product's title, price, original price and discount, the exact sold count behind "10,000+ sold", rating, store, delivery days for your country, Choice and ad flags, images and category ids. Turn on review stats to add review count, average, star breakdown, positive rate and the review tags buyers use.

It is used by dropshippers and e-commerce sellers looking for products that already sell, by price monitoring and market research teams, and by anyone who needs AliExpress catalog data in a spreadsheet or an AI agent.

What you can do with AliExpress data

• Dropshipping and product research: what sells the most for a keyword, at what price, with how many real orders (soldCount), sorted by orders.
• Price monitoring: track price, original price and discount of the same products over time, in your currency and for your country.
• Competitor and supplier analysis: which stores rank, which products are Choice or paid placements, how long delivery takes per country.
• Review screening: star breakdown, positive rate and the tags buyers use, before you pick a product or a supplier.
• Find cheaper sellers from a photo: search by image with a supplier or competitor photo and compare price and priceType across sellers of the same item.
• Trend spotting: launchDate and soldCount together show new products that are taking off.

AliExpress scraper input examples

The 500 best-selling phone cases and yoga mats in euros, shipped to Germany:

{ "searchQueries": ["phone case", "yoga mat"], "maxItems": 500, "sortBy": "orders", "currency": "EUR", "shipTo": "DE" }

Wireless earbuds between US$ 10 and US$ 40, shipped from the US, 4 stars and up, with review stats:

{ "searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds"], "minPrice": 10, "maxPrice": 40, "shipFrom": "US", "fourStarsAndUp": true, "includeReviewStats": true, "maxItems": 120 }

A category link and two product links (product links always come with review stats):

{
  "categoryUrls": ["https://www.aliexpress.com/category/100003109/women-clothing.html"],
  "productUrls": ["https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012594192741.html", "1005012594192741"],
  "maxItems": 60
}

Search by image

Two product photos and one AliExpress product link (its main photo is used and the product itself is left out), 40 similar products each:

{
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/Sf70350099604409c94bfde2b9171642ed.jpg",
    "https://s.alicdn.com/@sc04/kf/He83d6b68f6574c14a88af2ac6a6afd67S.jpg_300x300.jpg",
    "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012594192741.html"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerImage": 40
}

AliExpress shows about 100 to 300 similar products per photo (60 per page); maxResultsPerImage (default 20, 0 = all) caps each image. Rows have the same fields as a keyword search plus sourceImage (the link you gave) and imageSearchTotal, and position is the rank for that photo. A clean product photo on a plain background works best; a busy scene can match the wrong object. Sort and filters apply to keyword and category searches only.

Field	What it does
searchQueries	Keywords as you would type them on AliExpress
categoryUrls	https://www.aliexpress.com/category/ID/name.html or any /w/ search link
productUrls	aliexpress.com/item/ID.html links (aliexpress.us too) or numeric ids; always with review stats
maxItems	Default 50, per keyword or category link (60 per page, up to 60 pages). Product links are not limited by it
sortBy	default (best match), orders (most sold), price_asc, price_desc
minPrice, maxPrice	In the chosen currency
shipFrom	Country code: only products shipped from there (US, CN, ES...)
freeShippingOnly, fourStarsAndUp, choiceOnly	AliExpress filters
currency	USD (default), EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, BRL, MXN, PLN, JPY, KRW
shipTo	Country code the prices and delivery days are for (default US)
includeReviewStats	Adds review stats to search results; one extra request per product
imageUrls	Photo links (JPG, PNG, WebP) or AliExpress product links/ids to search by image
imageFile	Or upload one photo from your computer
maxResultsPerImage	Default 20 per image; 0 = everything AliExpress shows for it
compareWithPreviousRun	Adds the previous price, the change and the orders gained since the previous run with the same input (see Monitor AliExpress prices on a schedule)

An empty input runs a small example search, so you can see the output before you set anything.

Monitor AliExpress prices on a schedule

1. Run the keywords, category or product links you want to watch, then save the input as a Task.
2. Turn on compareWithPreviousRun.
3. Attach an Apify Schedule to the Task, for example daily.

{ "searchQueries": ["led strip lights"], "sortBy": "orders", "maxItems": 50, "compareWithPreviousRun": true }

Each run returns every product as usual, plus what changed since the run before: previousPrice, priceChange and priceChangePct, soldCountChange (orders gained), isNewProduct (not seen before by this input), firstSeenAt and previousSeenAt. On the first run every product is new. The history lives in a key-value store on your own account named aliexpress-prices-... (Storage, Key-value stores), saved after the products are delivered; a different currency or ship-to country gets its own history. To start over, delete that store or set a new snapshotName.

AliExpress scraper integrations, scheduling and AI agents

• Schedule the same keywords daily or weekly in Apify schedules and compare price, soldCount and position over time.
• Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read the dataset from the Apify API.
• Connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook through Apify integrations.
• AI agents: the Actor works as a tool through the Apify MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients, for example "find the 50 best-selling yoga mats under US$ 20 shipped from Spain".

Video guides from Apify: how to schedule an Actor and how to connect it to other apps.

Through the API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapewise~aliexpress-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["led strip lights"],"sortBy":"orders","maxItems":100}'

AliExpress scraper limitations

• Visitors without an account see AliExpress "new shopper" prices on many products (like US$ 0.33 or US$ 1.09). price is what AliExpress shows; newShopperDeal is true and priceType is newShopperDeal when the card carries a new shopper offer, so filter on priceType before comparing the cheapest sellers.
• storeName and sellerCompany come only when AliExpress includes them in the result card (about half of best-match results, fewer when sorted by sales). freeShipping is true when the card says so, or when the free shipping filter is on; otherwise empty.
• AliExpress product pages load their data with a protected call that answers with a captcha, so variants (SKUs), specifications, descriptions and review texts are not included. Product links get the search card data plus review stats.
• reviewCount counts written reviews; ratingCount counts all star ratings. AliExpress groups reviews of the same item from different sellers.
• Only public data. This Actor reads public pages only and respects the site's terms.

AliExpress scraper FAQ

Do I need an AliExpress account or cookies? No. Everything comes from public pages over plain HTTP, through the Apify proxy.

Why not the official AliExpress API? AliExpress's open platform APIs are meant for registered affiliates and dropshipping partners and need an approved app key. This Actor needs no account or key and returns public search data such as the exact sold count, delivery days per country, Choice and ad flags, search by image and review stats.

How do I get the most sold products? Set sortBy to orders. soldCount is the exact number, not the rounded "10,000+".

Why is the price different from what I see in my browser? Prices depend on currency, ship-to country and whether you are logged in. Set currency and shipTo to match yours; logged-out visitors often see new shopper deals.

What does a run cost? Only the products delivered: US$ 2.00 per 1,000, plus US$ 1.50 per 1,000 for review stats if you turn them on. There is no Apify compute bill on top. Search by image uses the same product price: 20 similar products for one photo cost US$ 0.04.

Can I search with a photo from another store? Yes. Any public JPG, PNG or WebP link works, for example a product photo from Amazon, Etsy or your own site. The same product found for two different photos is one row for each photo.
