Aliexpress Product Scraper

Scrape AliExpress product listings by keyword with prices, ratings, seller info, reviews, and shipping details. Supports 30+ currencies and 40+ ship-to countries.

What It Does

This actor searches AliExpress and returns structured JSON for every product found. You provide keywords (e.g. "wireless earbuds") and get back product data including prices, ratings, order counts, seller info, images, and shipping options. Optionally extract product reviews, variants (sizes/colors), full descriptions, and Q&A.

Key Capabilities

• Multi-keyword batch search: up to 50 queries per run
• Direct URL scraping: pass product, category, or search URLs
• 30+ currencies: prices returned in USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, etc.
• 40+ ship-to countries: shipping costs and availability localized
• Advanced filtering: price range, minimum rating, minimum order count, warehouse country
• Deduplication: removes duplicates across multiple queries
• Anti-detection: stealth browser with session rotation and CAPTCHA handling

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay per product scraped:

• $5.00 per 1,000 products ($0.005 per product)
• All platform compute and proxy costs are included
• Set a maximum spend limit per run to control costs
• Free tier users can test with the Apify free credit

Cost examples:

• 100 products = $0.50
• 1,000 products = $5.00
• 10,000 products = $50.00
