Shop::AliExpress - AliExpress product scraper

AliExpress

Scraper Overview

By using the AliExpress product scraper, you can gather all the information from the product card, specifying a list of search queries (names of the products you are interested in). The AliExpress scraper is capable of collecting colossal amounts of information. You will be able to obtain data about products, gather a database of product links, track price and delivery dynamics, collect rating scores and the number of reviews for the product, gather product images, and obtain a list of stores.

Thanks to the multi-threaded operation of A-Parser, the AliExpress product scraper can collect up to 200,000 links per minute.

A-Parser's functionality allows you to save parsing settings for further use (presets), set parsing schedules, and much more. You can use automatic query expansion, substitution of subqueries from files, enumeration of alphanumeric combinations and lists to obtain the maximum possible number of results.

Running task

Collected Data

  • Product link
  • Name
  • Price
  • Delivery price
  • Product type (new or used)
  • Rating
  • Number of orders
  • Image link
  • Store name and link to it
Collected data

Use Cases

  • Collecting product links
  • Tracking price dynamics for products
  • Tracking price dynamics for product delivery
  • Rating products, number of reviews
  • Collecting images for products
  • Collecting a list of stores for products and links to them

Queries

As queries, you need to specify the names of products, just as if you were entering them directly into the AliExpress search form, for example:

iphone 11pro max
Беспроводная Bluetooth-мышь, домашняя игровая мышь
Карта памяти Micro Sd Sandisk, карта Micro Sd Class10 TF
AMD Ryzen R3 2200U

Query Substitutions

You can use built-in macros to expand queries. For example, if we want to obtain a very large database of products by brands,

philips
sony
xiaomi
samsung

In the query format, we will specify an enumeration of characters from a to zzzz. This method allows rotating the search output to obtain a multitude of new unique results:

$query {az:a:zzzz}

This macro will create 475,254 additional queries for each original search query, which will result in 4 x 475,254 = 1,901,016 search queries in total. This is an impressive number, but it's not a problem for A-Parser. At a speed of 2,000 queries per minute, such a task will be processed in just 16 hours.

Result Output Options

A-Parser supports flexible result formatting thanks to the built-in Template Toolkit, allowing it to output results in any form, as well as in a structured form, for example CSV or JSON.
