# AliExpress Product details API (aliexpress.product_detail)

- Price: $0.001389 per call ($1.39 per 1,000 requests); failed calls and empty results are not charged
- Returns: single object
- Mode: sync; add "mode": "async" for slow tasks

AliExpress Product details reads one AliExpress product, from its item link or bare numeric ID, and returns the full listing: title, description, price with the struck-through original price and the discount, currency, units sold, rating and review count, shipping fee and method, variants, the store's name and link, the image gallery in page order, and the images from the description. Dropshippers, cross-border sellers and sourcing teams use it to vet a product before listing it, follow a supplier's price and shipping terms, or copy accurate specs into their own catalog.

`country` (the US by default) sets the region the product is viewed from, and `currency` (US dollars by default) the currency of the prices shown. Compare `original_price` with `price` for the real discount, and read `shipping` before calling a product cheap, since the delivery fee is part of what a buyer pays. `images` keeps the gallery in the order the product page shows it, and `variants` lists the options a buyer can choose.

## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | Specifies the target AliExpress item using a full URL (such as https://www.aliexpress.com/item/<item_id>.html). Use url with profile to fetch product metadata, variants for SKUs, reviews or ratings for feedback summaries, or product_detail (which also accepts a numeric item ID). |
| country | not declared | no | not declared | The country or region code, such as US, that profile, variants and product_detail read the product for (default US, converted to uppercase). It picks the regional view of the item; it does not change your account country or a real order's shipping address. |
| currency | not declared | no | not declared | The currency for the item prices returned by profile, variants and product_detail, such as USD (default USD, converted to uppercase). It changes displayed prices only and has nothing to do with how EveryInfra API calls are billed. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
| text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
| price | Price as a number without a currency symbol; see currency. |
| original_price | platform-native meaning |
| currency | Currency code of the price (for example CNY, USD). If price is present but currency is null, do not assume a currency. |
| discount | platform-native meaning |
| sold_count | platform-native meaning |
| rating | Rating. **The scale varies by platform**: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards. |
| rating_scale | Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating. |
| review_count | Number of reviews, for product and business capabilities. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| shipping | platform-native meaning |
| variants | SKU list, one entry per variant: sku_id, properties (option name → value, such as Color and Size), price, original_price, stock, available, image_url and max_buy_count; keys the platform does not show are left out. |
| store_name | platform-native meaning |
| store_url | platform-native meaning |
| image_url | Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array. |
| images | Image links: on product capabilities the product gallery in page order, on reviews the buyer's photos. |
| description_images | platform-native meaning |
| price_max | Upper end of the price range for products whose variants cost different amounts. |
| original_price_max | Upper end of the list-price range for multi-variant products. |
| sold_text | Sales figure as shown (for example 10,000+ sold); a rounded display, not an exact count. |
| attributes | Product attributes as {name, value} rows (material, model and so on). |
| category_id | AliExpress category ID. |
| category_path | AliExpress category path. |
| ship_to | The destination country or region this price and shipping quote applies to. |
| total_stock | Total stock across all variants; each variant's own stock is in its variants entry. |
| video_url | Product video link. |
| store_id | Store ID. |
| seller_id | Seller ID (AliExpress's own public ID). |
| store_country | Country or region of the store. |
| store_opened_at | When the store opened. |
| store_positive_rate | Store positive-feedback rate as shown (for example 95.2%). |
| store_rating | Store rating. |
| store_sold_180d | Store sales over the last 180 days, as shown. |
| store_is_top_rated | Whether the store is an AliExpress Top Rated seller. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

## FAQ

### Can I pass a product ID instead of a link?

Yes. This capability accepts the bare numeric product ID as well as a link shaped like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/<product ID>.html; a store or search page will not work. The other AliExpress capabilities that read a product, such as Reviews and Variants, ask for the item link, so keep it alongside the ID.

### What do `country` and `currency` change?

`country` picks the region the product is viewed from, such as US, and `currency` the currency its prices are shown in; both are converted to uppercase for you. They change nothing in your account, no delivery address, and not the currency the API bills in. Store both with every price you record, so prices read for different regions are never mixed up.

### How do I get the reviews and rating breakdown for this product?

Pass the same item link to AliExpress Reviews for individual buyer reviews with their text, stars, variant and country, or to AliExpress Rating summary for the breakdown by star level and the shares of positive, neutral and negative ratings. Here, `rating` and `review_count` give only the product's overall figures.
