AliExpress Scraper

Oxylabs promo code

AliExpress Scraper is a tool designed to collect public product data from AliExpress on a large scale. This short tutorial will show you how to scrape AliExpress with Oxylabs’ Scraper API.

How it works

You can extract AliExpress data by sending a request to our API with URLs you want to scrape. Our service will send back the HTML of any AliExpress page.

Python code example

This sample showcases how to make an API request and retrieve the HTML of AliExpress search results for the keyword “laptop”:

import requests
from pprint import pprint

# Structure payload.
payload = {
    'source': 'universal_ecommerce',
    'url': 'https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-laptop.html?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20230907055110&SearchText=laptop&spm=a2g0o.best.1000002.0',
    'user_agent_type': 'desktop',
    'render': 'html',
    'geo_location': 'Germany'
}

# Get response.
response = requests.request(
    'POST',
    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
    auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'), #Your credentials go here
    json=payload,
)

# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with results.
pprint(response.json())

See the documentation for more code samples.

Output sample

{
  "results": [
    {
      "content": "<!doctype html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>
      ...
      </script></body>\n</html>\n",
      "created_at": "2023-09-07 14:04:18",
      "updated_at": "2023-09-07 14:04:42",
      "page": 1,
      "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-laptop.html?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20230907055110&SearchText=laptop&spm=a2g0o.best.1000002.0",
      "job_id": "7105551359235115009",
      "status_code": 200
    }
  ]
}
