## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## DHgate Listings Scraper

Collect product listing cards from [DHgate](https://www.dhgate.com) category and wholesale search pages. Each row includes the product title, price, item code, image, store name, shipping and promo badges, and links to the product and seller — with pagination up to **50 pages per URL**.

Paste the listing URL from your browser after applying any filters or sort order on the site. The actor does **not** open individual product detail pages.

### Input

Configure these fields in the Apify Console **Input** tab before you click **Start**.

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| **Listing URLs** | list of URLs | Yes | Dog apparel sample | One or more DHgate listing page URLs (`/wholesale/.../c….html` or search listing URLs with the same pattern). |
| **Max pages per URL** | number | Yes | `1` | How many listing pages to fetch per URL (1–50). Stops early for that URL if a page returns no products. |
| **Proxy configuration** | proxy | No | Residential on | Apify residential proxy (recommended). Enabled by default on Apify cloud. |

#### Tips

- Use the URL from the address bar after you set **Ship to**, sort, and filters on DHgate.
- Tracking parameters (`dspm`, `resource_id`, hash fragments) are stripped automatically; essential filters like `leftpars` are kept when present.
- Page 2 uses DHgate’s `c{id}-1.html` URL pattern; the actor builds these URLs for you.

### Output

Results appear in the run **Dataset** tab — one row per product card on the listing grid.

| Field | What you get |
|-------|----------------|
| `rank` | Position on that page (1 = first) |
| `pageNumber` | Listing page number for this URL |
| `pageUrl` | URL that was fetched |
| `sourceListingUrl` | Your normalized input URL |
| `title` | Product title |
| `productUrl` | Link to the product page |
| `itemCode` | DHgate item code (numeric id) |
| `productId` | Internal product id from listing markup |
| `imageUrl` | Thumbnail image |
| `priceText` | Price as shown (e.g. `US $6.76 - 10.97 / Piece`) |
| `soldText` | Sold count when shown (e.g. `12 Sold`) |
| `freeShipping` | Whether “Free shipping” appears on the card |
| `promoBadges` | Coupon / discount labels |
| `minOrderText` | Minimum order text when shown |
| `storeName`, `storeUrl` | Seller store |
| `categoryBreadcrumb` | Category path from the page |
| `totalResultsText` | Total results text (e.g. `(10,929 results)`) |
| `scrapedAt` | When the row was collected (ISO time) |

Download as **JSON**, **CSV**, or **Excel** from the dataset, or use the Apify API and integrations.

### Pricing Structure

**Pay per usage** — you pay for compute units (CPU, memory, runtime) consumed during the run. Platform usage depends on your Apify plan. Set a **spending limit** before large jobs.

### Examples

#### Single category, first page

| Field | Value |
|-------|--------|
| Listing URLs | `https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/dog-apparel/c210004027.html` |
| Max pages per URL | `1` |

**Sample output (one row):**

```json
{
  "rank": 1,
  "pageNumber": 1,
  "title": "Designer Dog Clothes Luxury Plaid Collar Dog Shirt",
  "priceText": "US $6.76 - 10.97 / Piece",
  "itemCode": "1105058624",
  "storeName": "dggestore",
  "freeShipping": true,
  "productUrl": "https://www.dhgate.com/product/..."
}
````

#### Three pages of the same category

| Field | Value |
|-------|--------|
| Listing URLs | `https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/dog-apparel/c210004027.html` |
| Max pages per URL | `3` |

Expect roughly 30–35 listings per page (~100 rows total if all pages load successfully).

#### Multiple categories in one run

| Field | Value |
|-------|--------|
| Listing URLs | `https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/dog-shirts/c210004027009.html`, `https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/dog-dresses/c210004027007.html` |
| Max pages per URL | `2` |

Each URL is scraped independently; duplicate `itemCode` values across URLs are kept (with different `sourceListingUrl`).

### Best Practices

1. **Start with `maxPages: 1`** to confirm URLs and proxy settings before scaling up.
2. **Keep residential proxy enabled** on Apify cloud — bare datacenter requests are often blocked by Akamai.
3. **Apply filters on the website first**, then copy the listing URL; the actor does not change sort or ship-to for you.
4. **Watch for empty pages** — pagination stops for that URL when a page returns zero products (end of catalog or access issue).
5. **Set a spending limit** on long runs (many URLs × many pages).
