Automate AliExpress

Turn the repetitive AliExpress work you do by hand (search a keyword, open a listing) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

why

Stop doing AliExpress by hand

The AliExpress tasks you repeat (search a keyword, open a listing, read variant prices) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But AliExpress only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. 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 Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

AliExpress tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real AliExpress action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }open a listing
{ }read variant prices
{ }export search results

Workflows extract structured fields such as item price, variant price, orders count, store rating along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your AliExpress automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

Record itDo the AliExpress task once in a real browser (search a keyword, then open a listing) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on AliExpress in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
Discover itLet API discovery watch AliExpress's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on AliExpress

The reason AliExpress is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

AliExpress listing pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture variant prices and shipping that load dynamically.

Run the AliExpress automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

On a scheduleRun the AliExpress task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
On a changeWatch AliExpress for price drop or new listing for a query and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the AliExpress workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when AliExpress changes. It runs on your own AliExpress account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/aliexpress/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the AliExpress automation too.

Trigger the AliExpress automation on a change

Monitor AliExpress for price drop, new listing for a query, rating change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your AliExpress automation in seconds. Monitor AliExpress ▸

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.

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

The same AliExpress automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating AliExpress for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/aliexpress/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the AliExpress task too.

Automating AliExpress: questions

How do I automate AliExpress?
Record the AliExpress task once in the recorder (search a keyword, open a listing, read variant prices) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own AliExpress account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate AliExpress this way?
Collect AliExpress data you have the right to access and respect its Terms of Use and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does AliExpress automation work behind login and 2FA?
AliExpress listing pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture variant prices and shipping that load dynamically. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated AliExpress session.
Can I run the AliExpress automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when AliExpress is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
