## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## AliExpress Product Scraper

Scrape AliExpress search results and product pages to extract product data including prices, ratings, seller info, and shipping details.

### Features

- **Search scraping**: Enter search keywords, scrape product listings
- **Product URLs**: Direct product page scraping
- **Multi-country**: Supports US, FR, DE, ES markets with localized prices and languages
- **Rich data extraction**: Product name, current price, original price, discount %, rating, order count, seller name, seller rating, shipping info, product URL, image URL
- **Anti-detection**: User-agent rotation, stealth flags, random delays, session management
- **Deduplication**: Automatically deduplicates products by ID across pages
- **No proxy required**: Works from datacenter IPs

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | string[] | `[]` | Keywords to search on AliExpress |
| `productUrls` | string[] | `[]` | Direct AliExpress product URLs to scrape |
| `maxResults` | integer | `20` | Maximum products to return (1-200) |
| country | string | `US` | Target country: US, FR, DE, ES |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | `2` | Concurrent browser tabs (1-10) |

Provide at least `searchQueries` or `productUrls`.

### Output

Each product in the dataset contains:

```json
{
  "productName": "Wireless Bluetooth Speaker",
  "price": 12.99,
  "originalPrice": 29.99,
  "discount": 56,
  "rating": 4.8,
  "orderCount": 1234,
  "sellerName": "TechStore Official",
  "sellerRating": 4.9,
  "shippingInfo": "Free Shipping",
  "productUrl": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006123456.html",
  "imageUrl": "https://ae01.alicdn.com/img.jpg",
  "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}
````

### Usage Examples

#### Search for products

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["bluetooth speaker", "phone case"],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "country": "FR"
}
```

#### Scrape specific product pages

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006123456.html",
    "1005007890123"
  ]
}
```

### Running Tests

npm test
```

### Running Locally

```bash
npm install
npm start
```

### Building the Actor

```bash
apify build
```

### Notes

- AliExpress may show different products/prices depending on the country setting
- Some products may have limited availability in certain regions
- Anti-detection measures are included but may not bypass all bot detection
- Results may vary based on network conditions and AliExpress's current anti-bot measures

### 💰 Pricing

Pay-per-use, no monthly fees:

| | Price |
|---|---|
| **Actor start** | $0.01 |
| **Per result** | $0.01 |

> 💡 Example: A run returning 500 results costs **$5.01** total ($0.01 start + 500 × $0.01).

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search on AliExpress. Each query produces search result pages to scrape.

## `productUrls` (type: `array`):

Direct AliExpress product URLs to scrape (full URLs or relative paths).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of product results to return per search query.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Target country/language for AliExpress. Affects pricing currency and language.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Number of concurrent browser tabs. Higher = faster but more resource-intensive.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "phone case"
  ],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "country": "US",
  "maxConcurrency": 2
}
```

    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "phone case"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("apikiy/aliexpress-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
