AliExpress Product Research Scraper - Winning Products & Sales

🛒 What does AliExpress Product Research Scraper do?

AliExpress Product Research Scraper is a product research and dropshipping tool for AliExpress. Enter keywords (or paste AliExpress search links) and get, for every product AliExpress shows, the numbers that matter for product research:

• 🔥 AliExpress-reported cumulative sold count, unrounded when AliExpress provides it (not just "1,000+ sold"), plus listing date and the average sold per day since listing
• 💲 Normal price, list price, discount and the new-customer deal price, in the currency and ship-to country you choose
• 🏆 Best sellers first: sort the search by most orders (AliExpress's own sort)
• ⭐ Rating, listing date, Choice and sponsored (ad) flags, ships-from country, category
• 📊 A ready report per search: price bands (how the products' cumulative sold counts split by today's price), top sellers, newer listings with a high average since listing, best value (4.6★+ and 500+ sold), share of Choice items
• 🆚 Compare niches: several keywords side by side (sold counts in the top results, number of listings, prices)
• 🔔 Price and sales tracker: run it daily or weekly and see how many sold since the last run (the real measure of recent sales), price drops and new products in the results

💸 You only pay for searches that return products. Empty or failed searches are always free.

❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? From AliExpress's public search pages, the same results any visitor sees. No login, no private data.

Where does the sold count come from? It is the cumulative count AliExpress reports for each product; we do not verify it independently. On the page AliExpress shows rounded text like "2,000+ sold", but most results also carry the full number, which this Actor uses (soldIsUnrounded: true). When only the rounded text exists, the lower bound is used and marked soldIsUnrounded: false.

What do the numbers in the report mean? They describe the products AliExpress showed for your search (its own ranking, up to your max products per search), not the whole market. sold is the cumulative count AliExpress reports since the product was listed, not sales in a recent period, and prices are today's prices. avgSoldPerDaySinceListed is cumulative sold ÷ days listed: a lifetime average, not a current sales rate. When AliExpress only gives a rounded count ("1,000+"), totals are lower bounds and the report says so. Sponsored (ad) products are listed in the dataset (isSponsored: true) but left out of the report's statistics (prices, sold counts, price bands, top sellers); each report shows the total, organic and sponsored counts (productsAnalyzed, organicProductsAnalyzed, sponsoredInResults), and its statsScope field says exactly which products the lowest/median/highest price and other statistics use, e.g. "organic products only: 45 of 60 products in the results (15 sponsored products excluded)". So the report's lowest price can be higher than the cheapest product in the dataset. If AliExpress returns only sponsored products, the statistics use them and statsScope says so. listedDate is the date AliExpress gives for the listing; it may be a re-listing date, so check very high averages for young listings on the product page.

Which price is shown? price is the normal price a returning shopper pays. AliExpress shows first-time visitors a much lower "welcome deal" price on many products; that one is in newUserPrice, so it never distorts your price research.

Can I change country and currency? Yes: set Ship to and Currency. Each product also shows the currency AliExpress actually returned.

Why do results change between runs? AliExpress reshuffles its search results between visits, like any marketplace that tests rankings. Each run is a true snapshot of what shoppers see at that moment. The "total results" number AliExpress reports also changes between visits, so treat it as a rough size of the niche. For steadier numbers, analyse more products per search (120–300) and compare reports over several runs.

How do I find products that are selling now? Turn on tracking and run it again a day or a week later: soldSinceLastRun shows real recent sales. The report's list of newer listings (last 120 days) is a quick shortlist, but it ranks by the average since listing, which says nothing about whether sales are growing or slowing today.
