What does the filter option do?

It narrows results to all reviews, only ones with images, additional (follow-up) reviews, or reviews from the buyer's own region (local).

Can I look up reviews by URL instead of product ID?

Yes — product accepts either an AliExpress product ID or a full product URL.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

1 point per returned review, which is $1 per 1,000, capped by max_items. A product with no reviews costs nothing.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Reading reviews by hand	Open the listing, filter, scroll, translate manually	Free, and slow	Fine for one product, useless across a catalog — and most reviews aren't in your language
Building a scraper	Write it, host it, and add translation yourself	Engineering time	A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product
NeuralVerge	One request per product	$1 per 1,000, misses not billed	Returns what's published — reviews are self-selected, not a representative sample

Response

What you get back

Every field in the response shown above.

Field	Type	Description
`total_items`	number	How many reviews were returned in this batch (capped by max_items).
`reviews`	array	Individual review records (rating, text, author, images, date), when the product has any that match the filter.
`debug`	object	Present only when no reviews are returned — a diagnostic snippet (page title, URL and a text excerpt) to help explain the empty result.

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

product accepts either an AliExpress product ID or URL. filter narrows to all/image/additional/local, and translate (default true) machine-translates review text — set it to false if you want the original language.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-aliexpress-product-reviews \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "product": "1005012791281455", "max_items": 10, "filter": "image" }'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Sourcing due diligence

Check recent buyer reviews before sourcing a product to resell.

Quality monitoring

Watch review volume and rating for a product you already sell.

Visual proof screening

Filter to image reviews to see what buyers actually received.

Cross-language research

Read non-English reviews in translation without a manual lookup per review.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

AliExpress products with a public reviews section.

Freshness

Read at request time.

Handling

This source returns publicly visible review content, stamped with the product ID or URL it was read from and a session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—Reviews are self-selected and skew towards strong opinions in both directions.
—Machine translation can miss nuance, particularly for idioms or product-specific terms.
—New or low-volume listings return few or no reviews.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes — translate defaults to true, since a large share of AliExpress reviews aren't written in English. Set it to false to get the original text instead.
