# AliExpress Scraper: Product Search, Prices, Orders & Ratings (`tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper`) Actor Search AliExpress and export products with sale price, discount, rating, orders sold and store. Filter by price, rating and minimum orders. - **URL**: https://apify.com/tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Tinda Cloud](https://apify.com/tindacloud) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 2 monthly users, 95.2% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $1.44 / 1,000 products This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## AliExpress Product Search Scraper Search AliExpress and get **clean product data with prices, discounts, ratings and exact order counts** — no login, no browser, no API key. Built for people who need to *compare* products, not just look at one: every row has the sale price, the original price, the discount, the rating and how many units have actually sold. ### Why use this AliExpress Scraper? | Typical scrapers | This Actor | |---|---| | Run a browser and break on every layout change | No browser — clean JSON, about a second per page | | Rounded "1,000+ sold" labels | **Exact order counts**, rating, discount and original price | | Prices in one currency and country | `currency`, `shipTo` and `language` give the prices a buyer in that country sees | | Filter in a spreadsheet afterwards | `minPrice`, `maxPrice`, `minRating`, `minOrders` filter before you are charged | | Re-scrape and diff by hand | `onlyChangedProducts` returns only products whose price moved, with the old price attached | | Keyword search only | Keywords, or paste your own AliExpress search and category URLs | ### How to use 1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — the free plan's monthly credit is enough to try this Actor. 2. Open **AliExpress Scraper**, fill in the input (the form is pre-filled with a working example) and click **Start**. 3. Watch results stream into the dataset table while the run is going. 4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML or RSS — or pull the results from your own code with the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). ### What can you do with AliExpress products data? - **Product research for dropshipping** — sort by orders, filter by rating, see what already sells. - **Price comparison and monitoring** — run on a schedule and track price and discount changes. - **Supplier research** — every row carries the exact order count and the country the item ships from. - **Market sizing** — pull hundreds of listings for a keyword and analyze the price distribution. ### How to scrape AliExpress products | Field | What it does | |---|---| | `searchQueries` | Keywords to search, several at once | | `startUrls` | Or paste AliExpress search URLs with your own filters | | `sortBy` | Best match, most orders, price low/high, newest | | `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | Price range | | `minRating` | Only products rated at least this (1-5) | | `minOrders` | Only products with at least this many orders sold | | `currency`, `shipTo`, `language` | Prices as a shopper in that country sees them | | `maxProductsPerQuery`, `maxResults` | Limits | ### Input reference Every option at a glance. A minimal input that works as-is: ```json { "searchQueries": [ "wireless earbuds" ], "sortBy": "relevance", "maxProductsPerQuery": 100, "currency": "USD", "shipTo": "US", "language": "en", "maxResults": 1000 } ``` All fields: - `searchQueries` (Search keywords) — What to search for on AliExpress, e.g. “wireless earbuds”. Several keywords at once is fine. - `startUrls` (AliExpress search URLs (optional)) — Paste AliExpress search or category URLs to use your own filters instead of the fields below. - `sortBy` (Sort by) — Result order. Options: `relevance` (Best match), `ordersDesc` (Most orders), `priceAsc` (Price: low to high), `priceDesc` (Price: high to low), `newest`; default `"relevance"`. - `maxProductsPerQuery` (Max products per keyword) — Stop after this many products for each keyword. Default `100`. - `minPrice` (Min price) — Lowest price to include, in the currency below. - `maxPrice` (Max price) — Highest price to include, in the currency below. - `minRating` (Min rating) — Only products rated at least this (1-5). Products with no rating are skipped. - `minOrders` (Min orders sold) — Only products with at least this many orders — a quick way to filter out untested listings. - `freeShippingOnly` (Ships from China only) — Restrict to items shipped from China (usually the cheapest). Default `false`. - `currency` (Currency) — Currency for prices, e.g. USD, EUR, GBP. Default `"USD"`. - `shipTo` (Ship to country) — Two-letter country code used for prices and shipping, e.g. US, DE, KR. Default `"US"`. - `language` (Language) — Site language, e.g. en, de, es. Default `"en"`. - `onlyChangedProducts` (Only products that changed) — Monitoring mode. Remembers each product's price and returns only products whose price actually moved, with the old price attached. AliExpress shuffles its search results, so products you have not seen before are skipped by default — turn on the option below to include them. Default `false`. - `includeNewProductsWhenMonitoring` (Also include products you have not seen) — Only used with monitoring mode. AliExpress rotates search results, so this adds a lot of rows that are not real changes. Default `false`. - `maxResults` (Max results) — Total limit across all keywords. Default `1000`. - `proxy` (Proxy) — Apify Proxy is used as a fallback when a direct request is blocked. ### What the AliExpress products output looks like One row per product. Real example from this Actor: ```json { "productId": "3256812072143101", "title": "HTC NE79 Real Time Translation Earphone Bluetooth HiFi Music HD Call N…", "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256812072143101.html", "imageUrl": "https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/Sec4e2e8713964ac5b80e6821486e5128k.jpg", "price": 9.41, "priceFormatted": "US $9.41", "originalPrice": 20.92, "originalPriceFormatted": "US $20.92", "discountPercent": 55, "currency": "USD", "rating": 4.9, "orders": 4000, "ordersText": "4,000+ sold", "storeName": null, "storeId": null, "storeUrl": null, "sellingPoints": ["Free shipping", "Top selling on AliExpress"], "attributes": ["True Wireless", "Plastic", "With Microphone", "Type C"], "freeShipping": true, "isChoice": true, "searchQuery": "wireless earbuds", "page": 1, "scrapedAt": "2026-09-19T00:17:56.863Z" } ``` ### How fast is it and how much does it cost to scrape AliExpress products? 40 products for one keyword took **under 5 seconds**. You are charged per product returned, so the rating, order and price filters also cut the bill. ### How to monitor AliExpress products for changes Turn on `onlyChangedProducts` and the Actor remembers each product's price. On the next run it returns **only products whose price actually moved**, with `previousPrice`, `priceChange` and `priceChangePercent` attached. Put it on a daily schedule and you pay only for the changes. One caveat, honestly: AliExpress shuffles its search results, so every run shows a partly different set of products. Products you have not seen before are therefore skipped in monitoring mode unless you ask for them. Price moves that come only from AliExpress showing a different variant are filtered out too. ### Limits you should know about - Results come from AliExpress search pages, the same listings you see as a logged-out shopper in the country you set. - A few sponsored placements do not expose a price; those rows have `price: null`. - Each keyword is paged until your limit is reached; ask for more with `maxProductsPerQuery`. ### Pricing — what you pay per product This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: no monthly rental, you pay for the results you get. Prices per 1,000 results by Apify plan: | Event | Free plan | Bronze | Silver | Gold+ | |---|---|---|---|---| | product — One AliExpress product with price, discount, rating, orders and store | $1.80 | $1.62 | $1.53 | $1.44 | There is also a small start fee of $0.00005 per GB of memory ($0.00005 per run at the default 1 GB). Platform compute is included in the price — you are not billed separately for run time. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap, and use the input limits to control how much is fetched. The current prices are always on the **Pricing** tab. ### Tips - Use `sortBy: ordersDesc` with `minOrders` to find proven best-sellers quickly. - Set `shipTo` to your customers' country — prices and shipping differ by country. - AliExpress shuffles search results, so for price tracking leave `includeNewProductsWhenMonitoring` off; you then get only real price moves. - Already filtered a search on the website? Paste that URL into `startUrls` and its filters are kept. - Start with a small `maxResults` (say 20) to check the output, then raise it — you only pay per result. - For ongoing tracking, schedule the Actor and turn on `onlyChangedProducts` so each run returns only what is new. - Keep the default `proxy` setting — it is only used as a fallback when a direct request is blocked. - Rows the Actor cannot read are logged and skipped, never charged — check the run log if a count looks low. ### Automate & schedule Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack: - [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) — start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST. - [apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) and [apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python) — official SDKs. - [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) — run it on a cron to keep your data fresh. - [Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) — trigger downstream actions the moment a run finishes. **JavaScript** ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper').call({ "searchQueries": [ "wireless earbuds" ], "sortBy": "relevance", "maxProductsPerQuery": 100, "currency": "USD", "shipTo": "US", "language": "en", "maxResults": 1000 }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`); ``` **Python** ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("MY_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper").call(run_input={ "searchQueries": [ "wireless earbuds" ], "sortBy": "relevance", "maxProductsPerQuery": 100, "currency": "USD", "shipTo": "US", "language": "en", "maxResults": 1000 }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` **cURL** — run and get the results in one request: ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tindacloud~aliexpress-products-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=MY_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds"], "sortBy": "relevance", "maxProductsPerQuery": 100, "currency": "USD", "shipTo": "US", "language": "en", "maxResults": 1000}' ``` ### Integrate with any app Connect the dataset to thousands of apps — no code required: - [Make](https://apify.com/integrations/make) — multi-step automation scenarios. - [Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations/zapier) — push new records straight into your CRM or sheet. - [n8n](https://apify.com/integrations/n8n) — self-hosted workflows. - [Slack](https://apify.com/integrations/slack) — get notified when a run finishes or finds something new. - [Google Drive / Sheets](https://apify.com/integrations/google-drive) — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet. - [Airbyte](https://apify.com/integrations/airbyte) — pipe results into your data warehouse. - [GitHub](https://apify.com/integrations/github) — trigger runs from commits or releases. - [Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) — call your own endpoint when a run succeeds or fails. ### Use with AI assistants (MCP) The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any agent framework through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) — ask your assistant to *"find wireless earbuds on AliExpress under $20 with at least 1,000 orders and a 4.5+ rating"* and let it run this Actor for you. ### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire) This Actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it and pay for it on their own. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's [agentic payments](https://docs.apify.com/agents/payments): - [x402](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/x402) — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay in USDC through the Apify MCP server — no Apify account needed. - [Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/skyfire) — agent-to-service payments with pre-funded Skyfire tokens. Building an AI agent, MCP tool or data pipeline? This Actor is ready to plug in and pay as it goes. ### Ready-made examples Open one, change the fields, press Start — nothing to configure: - [Find AliExpress products with most orders](https://apify.com/tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper/examples/find-aliexpress-products-with-most-orders) - [Compare AliExpress prices for a product](https://apify.com/tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper/examples/compare-aliexpress-prices-for-a-product) - [Track AliExpress price changes](https://apify.com/tindacloud/aliexpress-products-scraper/examples/track-aliexpress-price-changes) ### Frequently asked questions about scraping AliExpress products #### Do I need an API key or a login? No. Paste your input, press Start. There is nothing to connect and no account on the target site to create. #### How do I export the results? Every run produces a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read through the Apify API from your own code. You can also connect it to Make, Zapier or n8n. #### Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Apify schedules run it every hour, day or week without you being there. Turn on the monitoring option and each run returns only products whose price moved. #### Can I call it from Python or JavaScript? Yes — the Apify API runs any Actor and returns the dataset, and the official Python and JavaScript clients wrap it in a few lines. AI agents can call it too, through Apify's MCP server. #### What does it cost? You pay per result, not per hour. Filters are applied before anything is charged, so narrowing the input directly lowers the bill. Pages that cannot be read are reported in the log and never charged. #### Is this data public? Everything collected here is what AliExpress shows to anyone without logging in. Check the target site's terms and the rules that apply to you before using the data commercially. ### Related scrapers Other scrapers from the same maker, built the same way — no browser where it isn't needed, one flat price per result: - [Shopify Store Products Scraper](https://apify.com/tindacloud/shopify-products-scraper) - [App Store Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/tindacloud/app-store-reviews-scraper) - [Website Contact & Email Scraper](https://apify.com/tindacloud/website-contact-scraper) ### Disclaimer This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Alibaba Group.
