Turn AliExpress into a REST + MCP endpoint
Writ turns the AliExpress actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.
curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/aliexpress/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wt_8f2c...a91" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "input": { "query": "your search term" } }' No AliExpress API yet? Build one in minutes
Record the AliExpress task once (search a keyword, then open a listing) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on AliExpress to ship an API.
- 1Record the AliExpress task once
Open the recorder and search a keyword on AliExpress in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.
- 2Publish it as an endpoint
One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/aliexpress/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.
- 3Call it from anything
Call AliExpress from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.
Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.
AliExpress doesn't give you the endpoint you need
AliExpress has an API, but AliExpress's affiliate and dropshipping APIs cover a slice of catalog data; storefront search and live pricing are simpler to read in the browser.
Writ closes that gap. Record the AliExpress task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/aliexpress/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
What you can call on AliExpress
Each operation below is a real AliExpress action recorded into a workflow and exposed as a typed endpoint.
Returns structured fields such as item price, variant price, orders count, store rating: typed JSON, not raw page text.
A real AliExpress endpoint, authorized with a wt_ key
POST your inputs, get structured output. Authenticate every call with a scoped wt_ key.
curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/aliexpress/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wt_8f2c...a91" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "input": { "query": "your search term" } }' import requests
r = requests.post(
"https://api.usewrit.app/v1/aliexpress/run",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer wt_8f2c...a91"},
json={"input": {"query": "your search term"}},
)
print(r.json()["output"]) {
"run_id": "run_alie_7b21",
"status": "succeeded",
"output": {
"item_price": "...",
"variant_price": "...",
"orders_count": "..."
}
} Also an MCP tool. The same workflow is exposed as an MCP tool your AI agent can call. See AliExpress MCP tools, or browse all MCP clients.
Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on AliExpress
The reason AliExpress has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.
AliExpress listing pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture variant prices and shipping that load dynamically.
Three ways to build your AliExpress endpoint
Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.
Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows.
Trigger your AliExpress endpoint on a change
Monitor AliExpress for price drop, new listing for a query, rating change and fire this endpoint the instant something changes.
Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes an automation trigger that runs your workflow in seconds. Monitor AliExpress ▸
Free on your own machine, or on cloud
Local / BYO agent
No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach AliExpress even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.
Writ cloud
Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.
