Integration

How to run it

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

This endpoint is synchronous: the search runs inside the request and the result comes back in the response. If it hits its time budget mid-scrape, the response comes back with partial: true and whatever records were collected so far — re-run with a smaller max_items for a complete result instead of a partial one.

Assortment research

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

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

Coverage

AliExpress.com's searchable product catalog.

Freshness

Searched at request time.

Handling

This source returns publicly visible search results, stamped with the keyword it was read from and a session id you can trace.

What it will not do
  • —A broad, filter-light query can take long enough to hit the time budget and return partial: true — narrow it or lower max_items for a complete result.
  • —Sponsored placement can affect result order the way it affects the site itself.
  • —Shipping cost and time shown reflect the ship_from/country combination requested, not every possible route.
FAQ

Questions, answered

The response comes back with partial: true and whatever records it collected before the time budget ran out, instead of failing outright. Re-run with a smaller max_items to get a complete, non-partial result.
