AliExpress Scraper & Supplier Price Monitor

Scrape public AliExpress search results into clean product and supplier rows for sourcing, pricing research, catalog monitoring, and competitor analysis. The AliExpress scraper returns prices, discounts, sold counts, ratings, reviews, seller details, and change signals instead of a raw HTML dump.

Cheap default run

{
  "keywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "shipToCountry": "US",
  "currency": "USD",
  "maxProductsPerKeyword": 10,
  "onlyChanged": false,
  "stateStoreName": ""
}

One public search page is requested per keyword. Inputs are limited to five keywords and 100 results per keyword.

Inputs

Field	Meaning
keywords	One to five public search phrases.
shipToCountry	Two-letter display-context country code.
currency	Requested three-letter display currency; no currency conversion is performed.
maxProductsPerKeyword	Useful rows kept per keyword, 1–100.
onlyChanged	Push only new offers or offers whose price, sold count, or rating changed.
stateStoreName	Optional named key-value store for an independent watchlist.
proxyConfiguration	Optional override; ordinary Apify residential proxy is the default.

Each dataset row is one real public offer. RUN_SUMMARY contains counts and bounded failure diagnostics; errors are never written as dataset rows.

Scheduling and state

Schedule the Actor with the same stateStoreName to compare successive runs. The first sighting is marked isNew. Later rows include previous public values and change flags. State is capped at 10,000 product IDs. With onlyChanged: true, unchanged rows are not emitted or billed, but their last-seen state is refreshed.

Limitations and failure behavior

AliExpress can change its embedded data and card markup. The parser uses a structural JSON scan plus a conservative HTML fallback, but a major redesign may require an update. Ship-to country and currency are display hints; this Actor does not promise checkout availability, shipping cost, or currency conversion. Public pages can vary by region.

Independent keyword failures are recorded and remaining keywords continue. A run fails if every keyword fails or if AliExpress returns a login, CAPTCHA, human-verification, or access-control page. The Actor does not solve or bypass those controls.

Responsible use

Only public keyword result pages are requested. The Actor does not log in, use private data, visit checkout, scrape account pages, or claim affiliation with AliExpress. Use the output in line with applicable site terms and law.

Pricing

The Store price is $0.003 per delivered dataset result. Failed requests, duplicate rows, suppressed unchanged rows, and summary records are not dataset results and are not charged as results.

AliExpress Scraper API

Start the Actor through the Apify API with the token in an authorization header:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/technicaldost~aliexpress-supplier-offer-monitor/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["wireless earbuds"],"maxProductsPerKeyword":10}'

The run output links directly to the normalized dataset, a change-tracking CSV view, and RUN_SUMMARY.

Use AliExpress Scraper & Supplier Price Monitor with AI agents (MCP)

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. The agent sees the input fields with descriptions and example values, runs the Actor, and reads the results.

MCP server URL (this Actor only):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/aliexpress-supplier-offer-monitor

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/aliexpress-supplier-offer-monitor" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other clients (mcp.json or the client's MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/aliexpress-supplier-offer-monitor",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Clients that support sign-in (such as Claude.ai connectors) can use the URL without a token and log in to Apify instead. Get your token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, or generate a ready config for your client at mcp.apify.com. In the agent the tool is named technicaldost--aliexpress-supplier-offer-monitor; ask it, for example, to "run AliExpress Scraper & Supplier Price Monitor with {"keywords": ["wireless earbuds"]}".

AI agents without an Apify account can also run and pay for this Actor per request with x402 agentic payments.
