QUESTION
I was scraping product details with beautifulsoup from aliexpress. But that is too slow and too much of a hassle.
So I signed up for the aliexpress API. Everything works. But how can I get the description of products using the API?
I found nothing in the help center. Google also does not have anything. I am also using
https://github.com/EitherSoft/python-aliexpress-api-client
It seems to me that it is not possible to get the description with the API? The documentation for the API is very poor imo.
Right now I am using this call:
http://gw.api.alibaba.com/openapi/param2/2/portals.open/api.listPromotionProduct/MY_API_KEY?fields=imageUrl,productId&keywords=chess&highQualityItems=yes
This call only returns the image, product id for products with the keyword "chess".
But how can I also get the description?

The API provide the following details, there is no description
.
I assume you have to get it from the productUrl
.
config.py
'details': [ 'productId', 'productTitle', 'productUrl', 'imageUrl', 'originalPrice', 'salePrice', 'discount', 'evaluateScore', 'commission', 'commissionRate', '30daysCommission', 'volume', 'packageType', 'lotNum', 'validTime', 'storeName', 'storeUrl', 'allImageUrls',
Question: . I do not quite know what you mean?
