Shop::AliExpress - AliExpress product scraper

Scraper overview

Using the aliexpress product scraper, you can collect all information from a product card by specifying a list of search queries (names of products you are interested in). The Aliexpress scraper is capable of collecting colossal amounts of information; you can obtain product data, build a database of product links, track price dynamics for products and shipping, collect rating scores and the number of reviews per product, scrape product images, and get a list of stores.

Due to the multithreaded operation of A-Parser, the aliexpress product scraper allows collecting up to 200,000 links per minute.

A-Parser functionality allows you to save scraping settings for future use (presets), set scraping schedules, and much more. You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of subqueries from files, brute-forcing alphanumeric combinations and lists to obtain the maximum possible number of results.

Queries

As queries, you need to specify product names exactly as if they were entered directly into the AliExpress search form, for example:

iphone 11pro max
Wireless Bluetooth mouse, home gaming mouse
Micro Sd Sandisk memory card, Micro Sd Class10 TF card
AMD Ryzen R3 2200U

Query substitutions

You can use built-in macros for query multiplication, for example, if we want to get a very large database of products by brand:

philips
sony
xiaomi
samsung

In the query format, we will specify a character range from a to zzzz; this method allows for maximum rotation of search results and obtaining many new unique results:

$query {az:a:zzzz}

This macro will create 475254 additional queries for each original search query, which in total will give 4 x 475254 = 1901016 search queries—an impressive figure, but not a problem at all for A-Parser. At a speed of 2000 queries per minute, such a task will be processed in just 16 hours.

Output results examples

A-Parser supports flexible result formatting thanks to the built-in Template Toolkit, which allows it to output results in arbitrary forms, as well as structured ones like CSV or JSON.
