AliExpress Scraper 🛍️

What does AliExpress Product Scraper do?

AliExpress Product Scraper collects product listings from AliExpress search results, category pages, and keyword searches, and saves them as clean, structured data. Enter a product keyword or paste an AliExpress URL, set the number of results you need, and the Actor returns product titles, prices, ratings, review counts, order volumes, seller details, shipping signals, and clean product links in a single dataset. It is built for market research, competitor monitoring, and dropshipping workflows that need fast, repeatable product collection.

AliExpress does not offer a practical public API for bulk product data, so this Actor helps users collect publicly visible listing data that is otherwise slow or impractical to gather by hand. You can run it once for a snapshot or schedule it to refresh product data on a regular basis.

Why use AliExpress Product Scraper?

• Reliable dataset creation - Collect structured AliExpress product data without manual copy-paste.
• Automation-ready output - Export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or connect them to dashboards and integrations.
• Market research - Compare prices, ratings, review counts, and sales signals across similar products before entering a niche.
• Price monitoring - Schedule repeat runs to track pricing and discount movement over time.
• Supplier sourcing - Identify stores with stronger sales activity and better feedback using seller details and order counts.
• Dropshipping validation - Filter products by demand indicators such as order volume, ratings, and free shipping before committing ad spend.

Usage Examples

Basic Keyword Search

Collect products for a simple search term:

{
    "keyword": "wireless earbuds",
    "results_wanted": 50
}

Start From a Search URL

Use a full AliExpress search URL when you already have a target results page:

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-wireless-earbuds.html",
    "results_wanted": 100
}

Start From a Category URL

Collect products from a broader category page:

{
    "startUrl": "https://www.aliexpress.com/category/44/consumer-electronics.html",
    "results_wanted": 150,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}

Residential Proxy Setup

Use residential proxies for more reliable large-scale collection:

{
    "keyword": "phone case",
    "results_wanted": 200,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]

Tips for Best Results

Use Clean AliExpress Targets

• Increase collection size once the output matches your needs.
• Break larger research jobs into separate categories or keywords.

Use Proxies for Reliability

• Enable Apify Proxy for smoother collection.
• Prefer residential proxies for larger runs.
• Keep proxy settings consistent across repeated monitoring jobs.

Review Optional Fields

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape search results and category pages?

Yes. The Actor supports AliExpress search URLs, category URLs, and keyword-driven collection.

Can I export AliExpress data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded in CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other supported formats from the dataset view.

Do I need both startUrl and keyword?

No. You can use either one. In most runs, a single target input is enough.

How many products can I collect?

You can request as many results as needed, limited by what the target pages expose and how many unique listings are available.

Will every field be filled for every product?

No. Some listings expose more metadata than others, so optional fields can be empty. Check several results before assuming the Actor failed.

Can I use the data for price tracking?

Yes. The dataset includes displayed price fields, parsed numeric amounts, and product links that work well for recurring monitoring.

Is seller information included?

Yes. When visible on the listing, the Actor captures seller name, seller ID, store URL, and related store signals.

Are sponsored listings identified?

When the listing exposes enough metadata, the dataset includes an is_sponsored flag.

When should I use proxies?

Use proxies for more reliable collection, especially when running larger jobs or repeated monitoring tasks.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress?

Scraping public web data can be legal, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, website terms, and privacy rules.
