Pricing Structure

Freemium model. Costs roughly $1.00 per 1,000 items. Apify's $5 free monthly credit allows you to scrape up to 5,000 products every month for free.

Limitations

AliExpress uses aggressive anti-bot measures; residential proxies are recommended for large-scale scraping.
The scraper extracts public data only and cannot access private user information or internal sales dashboards.
Pricing may vary slightly based on the selected currency and shipping location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AliExpress Scraper legal to use?

Yes, extracting publicly available product information, prices, and reviews for market research and price comparison is generally legal. However, always ensure your use case complies with data protection regulations.

Can I use this for dropshipping?

Absolutely. This tool is ideal for finding winning products, analyzing supplier ratings, and building product catalogs for your dropshipping store.

Do I need proxies to run this?

For small runs, Apify's default proxies usually work. However, for extracting thousands of items, we recommend using residential proxies to avoid being blocked by AliExpress.
