Search AliExpress by keyword (or paste a search/category URL) and export every product listing card as clean, structured JSON — price, original price, discount, rating, orders sold, store, image, and product URL — with built-in filters for sort order, price range, free shipping, minimum rating, and minimum orders. Built for product researchers, dropshippers, and AI agents. MCP-ready.

What you get

One record per product found in AliExpress search results:

When to use this Actor

• Use it to turn an AliExpress keyword (or category page) into a structured product list — for product research, price/discount monitoring, best-seller discovery, niche scouting, and feeding AI agents.
• Use it when you want filtering at the source: sort by best-selling or price, restrict to a price band, free shipping, a minimum rating, or a minimum number of orders.
• Don't use it to scrape a single product's full detail page (specs, SKU variants, full gallery, description) or its reviews — that's the job of the AliExpress All-in-One Scraper (khadinakbar/aliexpress-all-in-one-scraper), which accepts product URLs and includeReviews.

Pricing — Pay-per-event

Products dropped by your filters (minRating, minOrders, minPrice, maxPrice) are not charged. maxResults is a hard cost ceiling — set it and you know the maximum spend before the run starts (the Actor also logs the cap up front). A typical 100-product run costs about $0.20.

How it works

The Actor opens the AliExpress search results page (/w/wholesale-<keyword>.html) with your sort and filter parameters, then reads the products from the page's embedded SSR JSON (the same data AliExpress uses to render the grid), falling back to DOM parsing if the JSON shape shifts. It auto-paginates through result pages until maxResults is reached. Rating, orders, and price filters are re-checked on the parsed values so a filtered result is never billed.

It uses a real Chromium browser with rotating fingerprints and a session pool, and prefers residential proxies (strongly recommended — AliExpress blocks datacenter IPs). If residential isn't available on your account, it gracefully falls back to Apify datacenter (US).

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor is MCP-ready. Connect it through the Apify MCP server and an agent can call it with a single keyword and get back a structured product list to reason over — ideal for shopping assistants, price comparison, and product-research agents. Input descriptions and the flat output schema are written for LLM consumption.

Tips

• For best-selling products, set sortBy: "ordersDesc" and minOrders to filter out untested listings.
• For regional pricing, set both site and shipCountry to the same market.
• To bulk-scrape several searches, run the Actor multiple times (one keyword each) or pass several search/category URLs in startUrls.

Reliability

• Soft-fail on bad input — missing keyword/URLs ends the run with a clear message, not a crash.
• Honest-fail on anti-bot exhaustion — if every request is blocked and nothing is collected, the run reports the block instead of silently succeeding empty.
• Cost-cap visibility — the maximum spend is logged before any charge fires, and a triple-guard counter never charges past your maxResults.
• Graceful degradation — partial pages still produce results; per-field gaps are flagged in _warnings, never thrown.

Limitations

• This Actor scrapes search/category result cards only. For a single product's full specs, SKU variants, gallery, description, and reviews, use the AliExpress All-in-One Scraper.
• storeName / storeId may be null on some search cards — AliExpress omits store data from certain result layouts (it's present on the product page). This is an upstream limitation, not a bug.
• currency reflects what AliExpress actually served; with residential proxies the IP geo can occasionally differ from the requested shipCountry.
