Scraping Aliexpress search page does not return all products
Question:
I have the below code, which I expect to return 60 products, but instead only returns 16:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=Service(GeckoDriverManager().install()))
url = 'https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-silicone-night-light.html?SearchText=silicone+night+light"&"catId=0"&"initiative_id=SB_20230101130255"&"spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0"&"trafficChannel=main"&"shipFromCountry=US"&"g=y'
driver.get(url)
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
html = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
product_links = []
def get_element_title(element):
return element.select('h1[class*="manhattan--titleText--"]')[0].text
def get_product_links(soup):
for element in soup.select('a[class*="manhattan--container--"]'):
link = f"http:{element['href']}"
product_links.append(link)
print(get_element_title(element))
get_product_links(soup)
I manually checked the class name for all the products, since I thought maybe some of them have different class names in an effort to stop scraping, but they all have the same class name.
Answers:
Here is one way of getting that information, without the overheads of Selenium, by scraping the API endpoint directly (you can find it in Dev tools – Network tab). JSON response and the resulting dataframe contains a wealth of information, including product links etc:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)
pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', None)
big_df = pd.DataFrame()
headers = {
'accept-language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
'bx-v': '2.2.3',
'content-length': '80',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'origin': 'https://aliexpress.ru',
'referer': 'https://aliexpress.ru/popular/silicone-night-light.html?CatId=0&g=n&page=3&spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0',
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/105.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'
}
s = requests.Session()
s.headers.update(headers)
x = 1
while True:
try:
print('doing page', x)
payload = '{"catId":"0","g":"n","searchText":"silicone night light","storeIds":[],"page":' + str(x) + '}'
r = s.post('https://aliexpress.ru/aer-webapi/v1/seo/popular_search?_bx-v=2.2.3', data=payload)
df = pd.json_normalize(r.json()['data']['productsFeed']['products'])
big_df = pd.concat([big_df, df], axis=0, ignore_index=True)
x+=1
except Exception as e:
print('all done')
break
print(big_df)

The reason all products were not found is because they only appear once you scroll past them. To achieve that, we could run some javascript code to scroll one window height at a time until the end of the document. Also, instead of using BeautifulSoup for scraping, why not just use Selenium itself to find those elements using driver.find_elements by CSS Selector, where the tag name starts with the identified string pattern (i.e. use ^=).
Here is the full code:
def launch_url(url):
# create webdriver object
chrome_srv = Service(driver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_srv)
driver.get(url)
# find doc/window height and compute page count
doc_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
win_height = driver.execute_script("return window.innerHeight")
num_pages = int(doc_height / win_height)
print(f'doc height=>{doc_height}tpages =>{num_pages}')
# scroll through the document
for page in range(num_pages):
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, arguments[0]);", win_height * (page+1))
print(f'scrolling to=>{win_height * (page+1)}')
sleep(2)
# get all product anchor tags
anc_elem_list = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'a[class^=manhattan--container--1lP57Ag]')
# get all product title tags
title_elem_list = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'h1[class^=manhattan--titleText--]')
print(len(anc_elem_list),len(title_elem_list))
for anc_elem,title_elem in zip(anc_elem_list,title_elem_list):
print(anc_elem.get_attribute('href'),title_elem.text)
Launching this with the given URL, it was able to find all 60 products. Showing below some output extract:

The reason all products were not found is because they only appear once you scroll past them. To achieve that, we could run some javascript code to scroll one window height at a time until the end of the document. Also, instead of using BeautifulSoup for scraping, why not just use Selenium itself to find those elements using driver.find_elements by CSS Selector, where the tag name starts with the identified string pattern (i.e. use ^=).
Here is the full code:
def launch_url(url):
# create webdriver object
chrome_srv = Service(driver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_srv)
driver.get(url)
# find doc/window height and compute page count
doc_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
win_height = driver.execute_script("return window.innerHeight")
num_pages = int(doc_height / win_height)
print(f'doc height=>{doc_height}tpages =>{num_pages}')
# scroll through the document
for page in range(num_pages):
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, arguments[0]);", win_height * (page+1))
print(f'scrolling to=>{win_height * (page+1)}')
sleep(2)
# get all product anchor tags
anc_elem_list = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'a[class^=manhattan--container--1lP57Ag]')
# get all product title tags
title_elem_list = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'h1[class^=manhattan--titleText--]')
print(len(anc_elem_list),len(title_elem_list))
for anc_elem,title_elem in zip(anc_elem_list,title_elem_list):
print(anc_elem.get_attribute('href'),title_elem.text)
