AliExpress Deals Crawler Bot

Overview

AliExpress Deals Crawler is a specialised automation bot that logs into an AliExpress account, opens campaign and search pages, and extracts structured data about products and super deals. It is built for affiliates, deal channels and bots that need reliable, up-to-date information beyond what static APIs or HTML snapshots provide.

Instead of manually browsing long lists of offers, users get a clean, machine-readable feed of products with pricing, discounts and key metrics that can be used in Telegram bots, dashboards, newsletters or custom recommendation engines.

Why we built an AliExpress crawler

Affiliate and deal projects on AliExpress are heavily dependent on fresh, accurate data: real prices after coupons, actual discount percentage, remaining stock and how attractive a card looks at a glance. Public feeds and unofficial APIs are often delayed, incomplete or missing important blocks from modern SSR and immersive pages.

We needed a way to simulate a real user session: open the same promotional links that regular buyers see, accept cookies, load immersive campaign pages, and still extract everything in a stable, structured way. That is why we built an AliExpress crawler that behaves as close to a real browser as possible, but remains predictable and tunable as a backend service.

The crawler now serves as a backbone for AliExpress-based Telegram bots and internal monitoring tools, allowing us to switch between "New Deals", "Picked for you" and search-based pages while maintaining a unified data format.

What it does

The crawler spins up a controlled headless browser session, logs into a configured AliExpress account and opens a target page: a campaign link, a "New Deals" board, a "Picked for you" feed or a search results page. It waits until the essential parts of the layout are loaded, then extracts each product card plus additional contextual information.

For every product, it returns a structured object with title, current price, original price, discount percentage, coupon or super deal badges, rating, number of orders, store name and link, shipping type, and raw product URL. This data can then be filtered, ranked and transformed into compact cards for bots or websites.

Usage stats

The AliExpress Deals Crawler runs as a background worker in our infrastructure, powering deal bots and internal tools on a daily basis.

How it integrates into your project

The crawler is designed as an internal service that can be plugged into existing bots, dashboards or data pipelines without changing your UI.

Results & impact

By automating AliExpress browsing, teams no longer spend hours manually scrolling through campaigns to find good offers. Instead, they receive structured lists of candidates that already contain all important metrics.

For Telegram channels, this means more consistent posting, better-quality picks and less repetitive manual work. For affiliate projects, it increases the chance of catching time-limited super deals before they expire.

Monetization

The AliExpress Deals Crawler is typically used in affiliate setups, where better data leads to higher click-through rates and conversions from curated deals. We focus on delivering clean, structured data so you can optimise the presentation layer and tracking on your side.

In addition, custom integrations and dedicated crawler instances can be deployed as a paid service: from one-time setup for a single bot to fully managed infrastructure with monitoring and updates as AliExpress changes its layout.
