• Input: product links, product ids or search keywords.
• Output: one row per review, with filters for date, stars, words and country. Buyer names are left out.
• Measured: 1,281 reviews from 5 products in 41 seconds on Apify.

How to scrape AliExpress reviews

1. Add links or ids to Product links or ids, words to Search keywords, or both.
2. Set filters if you need them. A review you filter out is not charged.
3. Click Start.
4. Export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

The keyword search and the review scrape happen in the same run, so you need no separate product scraper. No login, cookies, proxy or API key are needed.

Example input:

{
    "searchKeywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
    "maxProductsPerKeyword": 5,
    "searchSort": "best_match",
    "reviewsSince": "90 days",
    "maxRating": 3,
    "onlyWithText": true,
    "maxReviewsPerProduct": 50
}

On 5 November 2026 this input checked 5 products and returned 20 reviews of 3 stars or less in 12 seconds, for $0.04 on the Free plan.

The Product summaries and status link in the Output tab opens a free JSON record with one entry per product: average rating, star counts, review topics from AliExpress, how many reviews were read, matched and saved, and why a product gave no reviews.

How much does it cost?

Plan	Price per 1,000 reviews
Free	$2.00
Bronze	$1.80
Silver	$1.60
Gold	$1.40

You pay only for reviews saved to the dataset. Filtered reviews, product summaries and products with no reviews cost nothing. Each run also has a start fee of $0.00005. There is no separate charge for platform usage.

Example: 5 products with 100 reviews each make 500 reviews, which cost $1.00 on the Free plan. To cap a run, set Reviews per run, or set a maximum cost in the run options. The run stops when it reaches the limit.

How to monitor new AliExpress reviews

1. Add your products or keywords.
2. Turn on Only new reviews and give each list its own Monitor name.
3. Add Reviews since, for example 30 days, so the first run does not save old reviews you do not need.
4. Schedule the Actor in Apify, daily or weekly.

The first run for a product saves your baseline. Every later run saves and charges only reviews it has not seen before. In a test with 3 products found by keyword, the first run saved 18 reviews from the last 7 days, and the second run found nothing new and saved nothing.

The memory is a key-value store named aliexpress-reviews-<monitor name> in your Apify account. Delete it, or use a new monitor name, to start over. A product that first appears in a keyword search gets its own baseline in that run, so keep Reviews since on for keyword monitors.

How to find complaints about a product type

Search a keyword and keep only low ratings with text:

{
    "searchKeywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
    "maxProductsPerKeyword": 10,
    "reviewsSince": "90 days",
    "maxRating": 2,
    "onlyWithText": true
}

Add Review text contains with words like broke or refund to narrow it down. The filter also looks in the translation, so a Spanish review can match an English word. Some top listings show no 1 or 2 star reviews at all, so try Best match in Search order too.

Limits

• 12 months. AliExpress serves reviews from the last 12 months. In runs on 5 November 2026 the oldest review of every product was from November 2025.
• 5,000 per list. AliExpress serves up to 5,000 reviews per list, and the newest reviews are at the end of it. On a product with 11,668 listed reviews the main list alone ended seven weeks before the test day. For a product like that this Actor also reads the photo, follow-up and country lists. It read 11,569 of those reviews in 107 seconds, up to the day of the run. Some reviews of the biggest products can stay out of reach. reviewsListed and reviewsRead in the product summary show the difference.
• Speed. AliExpress ignores sort options, so the Actor reads all reviews of a product and sorts them itself. A product with thousands of reviews takes longer, even if you want 10 of them. Choose AliExpress order when you need a few rows fast.
• Product titles. productTitle is filled for products found by keyword and is null for products you list yourself. Product pages answer automated visits with a bot check, and this Actor does not try to pass it.
• Search. If AliExpress answers a keyword search with a bot check, that keyword fails with a clear message in the product summary. Product links keep working.
• Shared reviews. Sellers of the same item can share one review list. A review that appears under several products is saved and charged once per run, under the first product. Reviews that AliExpress labels as being for a similar item have similarItem: true, and Skip reviews of similar items drops them.
• Star-only reviews. Many AliExpress reviews have no text. Turn on Only reviews with text if you do not want them.
• Wrong ids. The review list answers the same way for a wrong id and for a product with no reviews, so both get the status no_reviews.

API and integrations

The API tab has ready code for JavaScript, Python and cURL. The Integrations tab connects the Actor to Make, Zapier, n8n and webhooks, so a scheduled run with Only new reviews can send fresh reviews straight to your own tool.

FAQ

Why do I get fewer reviews than the product page says? The number on the product page counts all ratings. The review list can hold fewer, and some listings show only reviews with text. Compare ratingsTotal, reviewsListed and reviewsRead in the product summary.

Can I get buyer names? No. Names, avatars and gender are not saved. Review text is what buyers wrote, so it can still hold personal details. AliExpress also has its own terms of use. Check both against your use case.

Which languages can I get? AliExpress translates reviews into 16 languages. Pick one in Translation language. The original text is always there. translatedText can be null when the review is already in that language.

Can I read reviews from one country only? Yes. Add two-letter codes to Buyer countries. The Actor then reads the AliExpress list of each country, which also reaches reviews missing from the main list of a large product.

What happens if one product fails? The run continues. The product summary says which product failed and why.
