AliExpress Category Scraper

Browse any AliExpress category by ID and export every product card — price, rating, orders, store details, and more — across as many pages as you need.

Why use this actor

• No AliExpress account or login required — works on fully public category pages.
• Supply one or more category IDs and the actor handles the rest.
• Localized results — choose your ship-to country and currency at run time.
• Same output shape as the AliExpress Search Scraper, so results from both actors merge directly.
• Stable JSON output ready to load into any database, spreadsheet, or data pipeline.
• Automatic retries ensure complete coverage even across large categories.

How it works

1. You provide one or more AliExpress category IDs (and optional slugs for cleaner URLs).
2. The actor fetches each category page and parses every product card on the page.
3. Localization settings (country, currency) are applied so prices reflect your target market.
4. Results stream into your Apify dataset as they are collected, page by page.
5. When all pages are done you can download the full dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers.
