AliExpress Search Scraper API

Search AliExpress by keyword or category link and get price, discount, exact order count, rating, Choice and free-shipping flags for every product.

Runs in the cloud on Apify. No servers, no proxy setup, no code to maintain. Open it on Apify

Price: $0.25 per 1,000 products, plus $0.00005 per run. No monthly fee. Apify's free plan gives $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. Current price.

What you get

  • Price, old price, discount and currency (24 ship-to countries)
  • Exact order count (6,005, not just "5,000+ sold")
  • Rating, ships-from country and delivery estimate
  • AliExpress Choice, free shipping, sponsored and new-shopper flags
  • Filters: price range, minimum orders, minimum rating, free shipping only, Choice only

Quick start: Python

pip install -U apify-client
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("serenido/aliexpress-search-reliable").call(run_input={
    "searchTerms": [
        "yoga mat"
    ],
    "maxItems": 120,
    "sortBy": "orders",
    "country": "US",
    "minRating": 4.5
})

for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Quick start: JavaScript (Node.js)

npm install apify-client
import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor("serenido/aliexpress-search-reliable").call({
    "searchTerms": [
        "yoga mat"
    ],
    "maxItems": 120,
    "sortBy": "orders",
    "country": "US",
    "minRating": 4.5
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Quick start: one HTTP call

Runs the tool and returns the rows in one request. Good for runs under 5 minutes; for bigger runs use the Python or JavaScript example.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/serenido~aliexpress-search-reliable/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["yoga mat"], "maxItems": 120, "sortBy": "orders", "country": "US", "minRating": 4.5}'

Get your token in Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

Use it from AI apps (MCP)

Any app that supports remote MCP servers (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others) can run this tool for you. Add this server URL: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=serenido/aliexpress-search-reliable. Your Apify account connects on first use. Example config for Cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=serenido/aliexpress-search-reliable"
    }
  }
}

Input example

  "searchTerms": [
    "yoga mat"
  ],
  "maxItems": 120,
  "sortBy": "orders",

}

You can also paste AliExpress search or category links instead of keywords. All options are listed on the input page.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
