AliExpress scrapers for product research, prices and variant stock

Two AliExpress data scrapers that split the job the way AliExpress splits its pages: search results by keyword, sorted by orders or price, and full product pages with every variant, its stock, shipping and the store behind it. Both run in the cloud, so AliExpress web scraping here needs no login, no API key and no extension. From $0.409 per 1,000 results.

//Use cases\\

What dropshippers, sellers and analysts do with AliExpress data

The same catalog, read as a shortlist, a supplier check and a price feed.

  • 01

    Product research for dropshipping

    → title, price, orders and rating for the 50 best sellers in a niche

    Search a niche sorted by orders, keep the products rated 4.5 or higher with real order counts, then open the shortlist for variants and delivery times before you list anything.

    AliExpress Search ScraperAliExpress Product Scraper
  • 02

    Variant and stock checks

    → price and stock for every colour and size of 20 products

    The price on a search card is one variant. Read every SKU’s price and stock before you advertise a price, and catch the colours and sizes that are already sold out.

    AliExpress Product Scraper
  • 03

    Your own AliExpress price tracker

    → daily price, discount and stock per SKU, in Google Sheets

    Schedule the Product Scraper every morning on your product list. Each run records price, original price, discount and stock per SKU, so a sheet of runs becomes the price history AliExpress does not show.

    AliExpress Product Scraper
  • 04

    Supplier vetting

    → store, positive rate, opening date and delivery days for each candidate

    Compare the stores behind similar products: positive-feedback rate, how long they have been open and how much they sell, next to the shipping fee and delivery window for your customers.

    AliExpress Product Scraper
  • 05

    Market and price analysis

    → median price, discount and orders per keyword, week by week

    Run the same keywords every week and watch price bands, discounts and order counts move across a category, or compare what sells at each price point.

    AliExpress Search Scraper
  • 06

    Agents and automations

    → “Find cat fountains under $15 with 4.8+ stars and over 5,000 orders”

    Give Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor the Scrape.ly MCP server and ask for a shortlist: the agent runs the search, opens the products and answers with the ones that fit your brief.

//Why Scrape.ly\\

Why teams scrape AliExpress with Scrape.ly

Cents per thousand products

You pay per saved row: $0.41 per 1,000 product pages with every variant, $6.13 per 1,000 search cards, platform usage included. Products that fail or are unavailable cost nothing, and the Free plan adds $5 of credit every month: over 12,000 product pages.

No login, no slider checks to babysit

Both scrapers read public pages with proxies built in. When AliExpress shows its slider check, the run retries on fresh addresses by itself; there is no account involved and no browser left open.

Built for repeat runs

Save a keyword list or a product list as a task, schedule it daily, and get each run by webhook, API or straight into Google Sheets.

Ready for AI agents

Both scrapers are tools in the Scrape.ly MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can search AliExpress and read product pages in one conversation.
//FAQ\\

AliExpress scraping, answered

Short answers to what people ask about scraping AliExpress. The quick start goes deeper.

Is there a free AliExpress scraper?

Yes. The Scrape.ly Free plan includes $5 of credit every month and needs no card. At $0.41 per 1,000 product pages, platform usage included, that covers over 12,000 products with the Product Scraper, or about 800 search cards with the Search Scraper (prices as of 27 October 2026).

Which AliExpress scraper should I use?

To find products, the Search Scraper: one row per search card, sorted by orders, price or rating. To know a product, the Product Scraper: one row per product with every variant, its stock, shipping and the store. Most jobs use both: search a niche, then open the shortlist.

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress?

Collecting publicly visible product and price data is widely done and generally lawful in many jurisdictions, but AliExpress’s terms still apply to how you access and use the site, and product photos and descriptions belong to the sellers who made them. These scrapers read public pages without logging in and return no buyer or reviewer data. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can I scrape AliExpress reviews?

Not the review text. The Product Scraper returns each product’s star rating, review count and sold label, which is what AliExpress’s public product data includes; written reviews are not part of it.

Does it work for other countries and currencies?

Set the ship-to country and currency on the Product Scraper and prices come back in that currency for that market. Shipping options can still be labelled for the US on other destinations, a known limit, so check delivery estimates outside the US. The Search Scraper returns prices in the currency AliExpress shows its proxy location.

Is there an AliExpress API?

AliExpress’s own developer APIs are for registered partners such as affiliates and dropshipping apps. To get public search and product data from your own code, use the Scrape.ly API with these scrapers; the AliExpress API page shows the requests.

Do I need a Chrome extension?

No. An extension scrapes the AliExpress page open in your own browser, one page at a time, over your own connection. These scrapers run in the cloud with proxies included, work through a whole keyword or product list on a schedule, and deliver the data by API, webhook or export.

Can I scrape AliExpress with Python?

Yes. Install the Scrape.ly Python client, call the Search Scraper with your keywords or the Product Scraper with product URLs, and iterate over the dataset. The Python example on this page runs the cat-fountain search and prints one product per item.

How much does it cost to scrape AliExpress?

You pay per result: $6.13 per 1,000 search cards and $0.41 per 1,000 product pages, platform usage included. The 12-card search above came to $0.074 at list price and the three product pages to $0.0012. Prices as of 27 October 2026; the lineup shows the current ones.

//Responsible use\\

Is it legal to scrape AliExpress?

These scrapers collect what AliExpress shows any visitor: product titles, prices, variants, stock, shipping estimates, ratings, review counts and store profiles. Product and store data is business data, and neither scraper returns reviews, buyers or account data. Product photos and descriptions are the sellers’ work, so use them for research rather than republishing them. AliExpress’s terms apply to how you access the site; check how they bind you, and use the data in line with local rules.

This is general information, not legal advice. Read our guide to web scraping and the law and the Scrape.ly terms. AliExpress is a trademark of its owner; Scrape.ly is not affiliated with it.
