AliExpress Search API Documentation Search AliExpress products by keyword: for each result the product id, title, web url, image and gallery, price, original price, discount percent, rating, sold count and text, selling points, promotion and a sponsored flag. Narrow results with a sort order, a price range, a ship-from country and filters. The facets list in the response holds every filter you can use, with the exact value to pass in the filters parameter. sort_options lists the sort values. No category tree exists, so use the facets to narrow a search. Prices are numbers in the currency of the result. Currency and language follow the market of the request, so they can differ between calls. Failed requests are never charged. A valid search without hits is a successful response with an empty results list.
