AliExpress Bestsellers Scraper

Get the top-selling AliExpress products for any category or keyword — ranked by orders, with price, rating, and image, ready to drop into a spreadsheet or database.

Why use this actor

• No AliExpress account or login required — works on fully public listing pages.
• Results come back ranked by actual orders (units sold), not "best match" relevance — so item #1 really is the bestseller.
• Just type a category name or keyword — no need to dig up internal AliExpress IDs.
• Localized results — choose your ship-to country and currency at run time.
• Stable JSON output ready to load into any spreadsheet, database, or pipeline.
• Automatic retries ensure a complete list even under heavy traffic.

How it works

1. You give the actor a category or keyword (e.g. "wireless earbuds", "laptops", "kitchen gadgets") and how many results you want.
2. The actor pulls AliExpress's own "sort by orders" ranking for that category and reads off each product card: title, price, rating, and how many have been sold.
3. Results stream into your dataset in rank order, #1 first.

You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers, and you don't need to know AliExpress's internal category IDs.

Input

{
  "category": "wireless earbuds",
  "maxItems": 60,
  "country": "US",
  "currency": "USD",
  "maxRequestRetries": 6,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" }
}

Field	Type	Description
category	string	What to find bestsellers for. Either a category name/keyword (e.g. "wireless earbuds", "laptops") or a numeric AliExpress category ID (e.g. "100003109") for a strict category filter.
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of ranked products to return. Each page has up to 60. Default: 60.
country	string	Two-letter ISO country code for localized pricing and shipping (e.g. US, GB, DE). Default: US.
currency	string	ISO currency code for displayed prices (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP). Default: USD.
maxRequestRetries	integer	Per-request retry budget before giving up. Default: 6.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy or your own proxy list. RESIDENTIAL group is required.

Category name vs. category ID: A plain keyword like "wireless earbuds" is the most reliable option — it works exactly like searching AliExpress yourself, just ranked by orders instead of relevance. A numeric category ID gives a stricter filter, but AliExpress's internal category tree changes over time, so double-check the ID still maps to what you expect (find one by browsing AliExpress and looking for postCatIds=XXXXXX in the URL).

Real sample — top of a "wireless earbuds" run (20 items requested):

rank	title	price	orders	rating
1	Digital Display Bluetooth Earphones with Mic TWS E6S...	$0.33	100K+ sold	4.9
2	50,000+ sold-tier earphone, silicone in-ear...	$0.33	50,000+ sold	4.3
3	Wireless Earphones 9D Stereo Charging Box Sports...	$1.33	50,000+ sold	4.9
...	(16 more, all 50,000+ sold)
19	Lenovo XT53 Wireless Upgrade Bluetooth 5.4 Earphones...	$11.19	10,000+ sold	4.8
20	Bluetooth 5.4 Ear Hook Headphones TWS Wireless Earphones...	$5.59	10,000+ sold	4.9

Orders drop in a clean staircase — 100K+, then a run of 50,000+, then 10,000+ — confirming these really are ranked by sales volume, not just relevance.
