With our AliExpress Product Data Scraper, you can quickly gather important product information, such as their descriptions, images, feedback, questions, prices, and shipping details. You can customize your search by selecting your preferred country, language, and region for shipping. Our options include popular countries like Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Singapore, the USA, the UK, UAE, and India.
This API must help you to scrape data from AliExpress because the platform doesn't offer the actor.
This data scraper to collect data from AliExpress supports the below features.
Don't think much if you get the different products you discovered while browsing the page—the platform orders various products for every user.
This API is under development. You can mail us the same if you have any suggestions or feature requests.
It would help if you fed the input to this actor with a JSON file with the list of AliExpress pages to visit. Below are the needed data fields.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| startUrls | Array | (optional) List of Aliexpress URLs. You should only provide category detail or product detail URLs |
| searchTerms | Array | (optional) List of terms what can be searched in aliexpress search engine |
| language | String | (optional) Select language from list in which will be products default is English (en_US) |
| shipTo | String | (optional) Select country where the products will be shipped default is US |
| currency | String | (optional) Select currency in which the products price will be default is USD |
| maxItems | Integer | (optional) You can limit scraped products. This should be useful when you search through the all subcategories. Default is 1000 products. |
| includeDescription | Boolean | (optional) If you want to fetch description HTML you can enable this option. However keep in mind that fetching description takes one extra request which makes your actor a bit slower and takes a bit much CUs. |
| searchInSubcategories | Boolean | (optional) You can turn off searching in subcategories. Default is true. |
| maxFeedback | Integer | (optional) Max count of scraped feedbacks |
| maxQuestions | Integer | (optional) Max count of scraped buyer Q&A |
| proxy | Object | Proxy configuration |
| extendOutputFunction | String | (optional) Function that takes a JQuery handle ($) as argument and returns object with data |
It would help if you used proxy servers to access this solution to have your proxy servers, or you can try proxies of Real Data API.
When scraping a particular URL, use that as a startUrl.
When you feed the category link to startUrls, set up the start and end page and search in subcategories factor on the start and end logic page will propagate to each subcategory to extract more products.
You can scrape as many listings as possible with this optimized actor. So it forefronts each detail request for a listing. If API doesn't block frequently, it will extract a hundred listings in 120 seconds.
