AliExpress Reviews reads buyer reviews of one product from its item link. Each row carries the review text, star rating, publish time, the reviewer's name and country, the variant bought, the shipping method used, how many shoppers found the review helpful and the product ID. Cross-border sellers and dropshipping stores use it to check quality before sourcing a product, find defects tied to one color or size, and see how delivery went for buyers in the markets they sell to.

AliExpress sells across borders, so `country` is worth filtering on: reviews from your own target market tell you the most. `sku_info` names the color and size bought, and `logistics` the shipping method. `posted_at` is normally an ISO 8601 time in UTC, but when AliExpress supplies a date in some other form it arrives unchanged, so parse it defensively. Rows carry `product_id`, so reviews gathered for many products in one table stay attached to the right item.

## 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). |
| sort | enum: newest / relevance | no | not declared | Sorts action results using allowed values. For search, options include relevance (default), popular, price_asc, price_desc, and top_rated (supporting legacy values default, orders, rating). For reviews, options are relevance (default) and newest, which sorts by review submission date rather than product listing date. ratings takes no sort. |
| limit | integer (1–200) | no | 20 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| review_id | platform-native meaning |
| 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). |
| 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. |
| posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
| country | Country or region: a full name or an ISO code depending on the platform, not normalized. |
| author | platform-native meaning |
| sku_info | platform-native meaning |
| helpful_count | platform-native meaning |
| logistics | platform-native meaning |
| product_id | platform-native meaning |
| is_anonymous | Whether the review was posted anonymously (reviews). |
| unhelpful_count | How many times the review was marked not helpful (reviews). |
| language | Content language code (for example zh, en) as judged by the platform; it can be wrong. |
| original_text | The review in its original language (reviews); text may be a machine translation. |
| is_translated | Whether text is a translation (reviews). |
| review_labels | The reviewer's per-aspect labels (reviews), for example fit, quality or value for money, each with its verdict. |
| sku_id | SKU ID of the purchased variant. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
| images | Image links: on product capabilities the product gallery in page order, on reviews the buyer's photos. |

## FAQ

### Which AliExpress link goes in `url`?

The product's item link, shaped like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806025886958.html, the same link AliExpress Product details takes. A store page or a search page does not point to one product. When you only have the numeric product ID, build the item link from it before you call.

### How do I separate product problems from delivery problems?

Read `logistics`, the shipping method behind each review, alongside `sku_info`, the color and size bought. Complaints that cluster on one shipping method point to delivery, while complaints that cluster on one variant point to the product itself. Group by `country` as well, since delivery experiences differ between destination markets.

### What does `sort` change?

`relevance`, the default, keeps AliExpress's own order, and `newest` lists the latest reviews first. Newest refers to when a review was posted, not when the product was listed. To rank by usefulness, fetch the rows and sort them yourself by `helpful_count`, the number of times shoppers marked a review helpful.
