Import

Paste an AliExpress product URL and this pulls the title, images, price, variants, specifications and shipping facts into the pipeline in one step, then optionally turns it into a candidate the policy gates can evaluate.

Fetch paths

AliExpress challenges cold automated sessions on product detail pages. This system does not attempt to defeat that, so there are three ways to get a full product record — the official API, a browser profile a human has signed in to once, and plain page source. Search is not challenged and runs unattended, but returns a partial record.

Official API

set EBAYPIPE_ALIEXPRESS_APP_KEY / _APP_SECRET / _ACCESS_TOKEN

https://openservice.aliexpress.com (Dropshipping API)

Browser profile

Run `ebaypipe ae signin` once and sign in.

/root/.ebaypipe/aliexpress-profile

Page source

Always available.

ebaypipe ae import --from-file page.html

Search (discovery)

Works unattended. Covers 8 fields; missing description, variants, specs, ships_from.

Find something to sell

Search is the one AliExpress surface that works unattended — product detail pages are behind an anti-bot challenge. A search takes ~30s because it drives a real browser. Results carry title, price, sales history and promotional conditions, but not the description, variants or ships-from country: pick one and import it to get those.

No automated fetch path is configured yet — use the paste fallback below, or set one up on Settings.

Only categories with a verified, dated fee rate in seller_profile.yaml appear here — the fee engine never inherits a rate across categories.

Gate G-06 compares this against where the supplier actually ships from.

Default is the cheapest — which is often a decoy SKU, so check it.
