AliExpress Products Scraper — Search Results

Scrape AliExpress search results for any keyword and get every product as clean, structured JSON — titles, sale/original prices, discounts, ratings, order counts, badges and a sponsored-ad flag. No API key, no login, no proxy required.

Built for dropshippers, price-monitoring teams and market researchers who need a whole product niche in one table — with prices pinned to USD so rows are comparable run after run.

Why this Actor

• No account, no API key, no proxy budget — reads the server-rendered search page directly, with browser-grade TLS so requests don't get blocked.
• USD-pinned prices — the Actor pins the global storefront to USD/English, so prices are stable and comparable regardless of where the run executes.
• Demand signals included — average star rating and approximate order count ("2,000+ sold" parsed to 2000) on every row, the two numbers dropshipping research lives on.
• Sponsored-ad flag — isSponsored marks paid placements so ads never skew your organic analysis.
• Pay per result — a small fee per product scraped; a 60-product run costs a fraction of a cent.

How it works

For each keyword the Actor requests the AliExpress search results page, parses the embedded product-list JSON (the same data the site itself renders from), and outputs one dataset item per product — about 60 products per page, paging automatically up to maxProductsPerKeyword (max 1,200 per keyword).

FAQ

Do I need a proxy or an AliExpress account? No. The Actor reads the public server-rendered search page with browser-grade TLS; nothing to authenticate, no residential proxy budget.

Are prices localized? No — the Actor pins the global storefront to USD/English on purpose, so results are stable and comparable no matter where the run executes.

How accurate is soldCount? It is parsed from AliExpress's own rounded text ("2,000+ sold" → 2000), so treat it as a floor, not an exact figure.

Are sponsored listings included? Yes, flagged with isSponsored: true so you can filter paid placements out of organic ranking analysis.

Can it scrape a product's full detail page or reviews? Not yet — this Actor focuses on search results. Ask in the Issues tab if you need details or reviews.

Is scraping this legal? Search results are public and unauthenticated. You are responsible for complying with AliExpress's terms and applicable laws for how you use the data.
