## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

AliExpress Scraper reads AliExpress (also written Ali Express, AliExpress.com, AliExpress.us) search results, product pages and buyer reviews, and delivers clean rows: price, original price, discount, units sold, rating, store, Choice, free shipping, ship-from country and delivery window for every result, and for each product page its stock, shipping cost and landed price to the country you ship to. It reads every search filter and sort AliExpress offers, gives the star breakdown of reviews, and can watch products and searches for price, stock and delivery changes.

### What you can do with it

- "Show me the 120 best-selling dog harnesses on AliExpress that ship to the UK, with their prices in pounds."
- "Find wireless earbuds under $15 with free shipping from a US warehouse, sorted by price."
- "Track these 40 AliExpress products every morning and tell me when a price drops, an item comes back in stock or delivery gets slower."
- "What does this product really cost delivered to Germany: price plus shipping?"
- "Give me the 1- and 2-star reviews of my supplier's product, with the buyers' countries and the option they bought."
- "Which listings are new in this search since last week?"

### Why this actor

- **Search results at listing prices.** $0.70 per 1,000 results, 60 a page, with every field the search card shows and sponsored results marked.
- **Every filter and sort.** Price range, free shipping, Choice, 4 stars and up, ship-from country, best match, most orders, price low to high or high to low, and any filter in a search address you paste. Each search also ends with a free summary row: total results, related searches and every filter AliExpress offers for it.
- **Your country's prices and delivery.** Set Ship to (US, GB, DE, FR, CA, AU…) and prices come in that country's currency, with its delivery dates and shipping cost.
- **Landed price.** Product pages give the shipping cost shown for your country, so each row has `landedPrice` = price + shipping.
- **Product monitoring.** Turn on Only changes and each run delivers only what moved: new listings, price drops and rises, back in stock, out of stock, delivery and shipping changes, products removed, each with the previous values.
- **Reviews with the star breakdown.** $0.45 per 1,000 reviews, with the English translation, buyer country, option bought, shipping method and photos, plus a free summary per product with the count of each star and the buyers' tags.
- **Built for AI agents.** Numbers as numbers, ISO dates and currency codes, stable field names and record types, a field picker (`fields`), a dataset schema with views, an MCP-ready input schema, and a run summary (`RUN_SUMMARY`) with counts and reasons an agent can read.

### Input

#### Example inputs

Search, sorted by orders, shipping to the UK:

```json
{ "searchTerms": ["dog harness"], "sort": "orders", "maxResultsPerSearch": 120, "shipTo": "GB" }
```

Products by address, with landed price and 20 reviews each, watched for changes:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007499190815.html" },
    { "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256813130044617.html" }
  ],
  "shipTo": "GB",
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 20,
  "onlyChanges": true
}
```

Complaints only:

```json
{
  "productIds": ["3256806718111240"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 50,
  "reviewStars": ["1", "2"]
}
```

### Output

Every row has a `recordType`:

- `product`: one per product (from a search, an address or an id).
- `review`: one per buyer review.
- `review-summary` (free): a product's star breakdown and buyers' tags.
- `search-summary` (free): a search's total results, related searches, filters and sort orders.
- `unreadable` (free): an entry that gave nothing, and why.

#### Product fields

`id` (as given or listed), `altId` (the other id form), `url`, `title`, `price`, `originalPrice`, `currency`, `discountPercent`, `soldCount`, `soldText`, `rating`, `image`, `images`, `store`, `freeShipping`, `choice`, `shipFrom`, `deliveryWindow` (`minDays`, `maxDays`, `from`, `to`, `text`), `sponsored`, `badges`, `categoryIds`, `listedAt`, `position`, `searchTerm`, `shipTo`, `detailsRead`, `priceSource` (`page` or `card`: a product page without a price keeps the card's `price`, `originalPrice` and `discountPercent`), `scrapedAt`.

With the product page (product addresses and ids always; search results with `includeDetails`): `inStock`, `availableQuantity`, `reviewCount`, `brand`, `skuOptions` (option names and values), `storeId`, `storeUrl`, `storeType`, `storePositivePercent`, `storeFollowers`, `shippingCost`, `shippingMethod`, `landedPrice`, `purchaseLimit`, `priceLabels`, `specs` (the first specifications shown).

Monitor rows add `changeType` (`added`, `updated`, `removed`), `changes` and `previous`. With `fields`, product rows always keep `recordType`, `id`, `url`, `changeType`, `changes` and `previous`, and `removed` rows are delivered whole.

#### Review fields

`productId`, `reviewId`, `stars`, `text`, `textTranslated`, `date`, `country`, `sku`, `shippingMethod`, `images`, `helpfulVotes`, `unhelpfulVotes`, `additionalFeedback`, `anonymous` (and `reviewerName` when asked).

### Pricing

Pay per event: you pay only for rows delivered.

| Event                                           | Free            | Bronze          | Silver          | Gold            |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------------- | --------------- | --------------- | --------------- |
| Product row (`listing`)                         | $1.40 per 1,000 | $0.70 per 1,000 | $0.63 per 1,000 | $0.56 per 1,000 |
| Product page read (`product-details`)           | $8.00 per 1,000 | $4.00 per 1,000 | $3.60 per 1,000 | $3.20 per 1,000 |
| Review (`review`)                               | $0.90 per 1,000 | $0.45 per 1,000 | $0.41 per 1,000 | $0.36 per 1,000 |
| Search summary, review summary, unreadable rows | free            | free            | free            | free            |

Plus Apify's small start fee per run. A product given by address or id is one `listing` and one `product-details`; a search result is one `listing`, plus `product-details` with `includeDetails` when its page is read. A result whose page could not be read is delivered from its search card (`detailsRead: false`) and its details are not charged. A result whose page says it is not sold to your ship-to country is left out and not charged (counted as `notSoldToShipTo` in the run summary). A page AliExpress refused is never charged, and unchanged products in monitor mode are not delivered or charged. In monitor mode with `includeReviews`, every watched product's reviews are checked newest first, unchanged products too: only reviews not delivered before are delivered and charged, and reading stops at the first page with nothing new. This costs one review page read per product per run (when nothing is new, that page is all; pages are not charged). The run stops at your spending limit before a row it cannot pay for.

### Limits

- Product pages show one price and stock for the product, not per option, and one shipping line (the cheapest shown for your country), not the full list of shipping methods.
- Category pages show no listings to automated readers: search the category's words instead.
- Some listings are sold only in some countries (US-local listings, for example): their page then says the item is unavailable in your location, and the product is reported as unavailable for that ship-to country (a free row, not charged).
- AliExpress's review service has no star filter: with `reviewStars`, more pages are read and other reviews are left out (not charged), up to 50 pages a product.
- Search pages take about 30 seconds and product pages about 35; pages that come back without their data are asked again once.

### Changelog

#### 0.1 (2026-10-27)

- First release: searches with every filter and sort, product pages with landed price, reviews with star breakdowns, monitor mode, field selection.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Products to search on AliExpress, one per line, as a shopper would type them ("dog harness", "phone case"). Each search is read page by page (60 results a page, two pages at once) up to Max results per search. Leave empty to use Start URLs or Product IDs only; with none of the three, the run uses the example.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional. AliExpress addresses: search pages (/w/wholesale-<words>.html, with any of their filters in the address) and product pages (/item/<id>.html, on aliexpress.com, .us, .ru or a language subdomain). Searches are read on www.aliexpress.us for your Ship to country. Category pages show no listings to automated readers, so they are skipped with a free row saying why; search their words instead.

## `productIds` (type: `array`):

Optional. AliExpress product ids, the digits in /item/<id>.html. Both forms work (1005… as on aliexpress.com, 3256… as on aliexpress.us search results); each row keeps the id as given and the other form in altId. Each product's page is read (price, stock, delivery, shipping cost, landed price).

## `shipTo` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country code of the shopper (US, GB, DE, FR, CA, AU…). AliExpress shows prices in that country's currency (GB: GBP), with its delivery dates and shipping cost, and searches list what ships there.

## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Results delivered per search term or search address (default 60 = one page; up to 600 = 10 pages). A product listed by two searches is delivered once.

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

Optional. Stop once this many product rows are delivered across all searches, addresses and ids. Empty: no overall cap (Max results per search still applies). Reviews do not count.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

The order AliExpress sorts search results in. A search address keeps its own sort unless you choose one here.

## `minPrice` (type: `number`):

Optional. AliExpress's own price filter: results priced at or above this, in the Ship to country's currency.

## `maxPrice` (type: `number`):

Optional. AliExpress's own price filter: results priced at or below this, in the Ship to country's currency.

## `freeShippingOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only results AliExpress lists with free shipping to the Ship to country (its "Free shipping" filter).

## `choiceOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only AliExpress Choice listings (AliExpress's "Choice" filter: faster, tracked delivery and free returns).

## `fourStarsAndUp` (type: `boolean`):

Only results rated 4 stars or more (AliExpress's "& up" quality filter).

## `shipFrom` (type: `string`):

Optional. Two-letter code of the warehouse country (US, CN, ES, FR…): AliExpress's "Shipping from" filter, for local-warehouse stock.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Also read each search result's product page: in stock, units available, review count, option names and values, brand, store id and link, store rating and followers, shipping cost and method, landed price (price plus the shown shipping), purchase limit, price labels and the first specifications. Charged as Product details per row read. Products given by address or id always have these. Per-option prices and the full list of shipping methods are not on the page AliExpress serves, so they are not delivered.

## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`):

Also read buyer reviews of each delivered product (one row each: stars, text and its English translation, date, buyer country, option bought, shipping method, photos, helpful votes), with a free review-summary row per product holding the star breakdown and the buyers' tags.

## `maxReviewsPerProduct` (type: `integer`):

Reviews delivered per product (20 a page). With Review stars set, up to five times as many pages are read to find matching reviews (at most 50 pages).

## `reviewStars` (type: `array`):

Optional. Only reviews with these stars (for example 1 and 2 for complaints). AliExpress's review service has no star filter, so pages are read and the other reviews are left out (not charged).

## `includeReviewerNames` (type: `boolean`):

Add the reviewer's name as AliExpress shows it (masked, "U\*\*\*r"). Off by default: reviews are delivered without names, as personal data is not needed to read them.

## `onlyChanges` (type: `boolean`):

Deliver only what changed since the last run of the same searches, products, Ship to country and Product details setting: new listings, price drops and rises, back in stock, out of stock, delivery and shipping changes, and products removed. Each row says changeType (added, updated, removed), changes and the previous values. Every run remembers what it delivered, so the first monitoring run after a plain run already compares. With reviews on, every watched product's reviews are checked (unchanged ones too) and only reviews not delivered before are delivered and charged: one review page read per product per run.

## `changeTypes` (type: `array`):

Optional. Which changes Only changes reports. Empty: all but sold count changes (sold counts move almost every day).

## `fields` (type: `array`):

Optional. Keep only these fields in product rows (dotted paths for nested ones: deliveryWindow.to); recordType, id, url, changeType, changes and previous always stay, and removed rows are delivered whole. Empty: every field. Review and summary rows are delivered whole.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchTerms": [
        "dog harness"
    ]
};

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "searchTerms": ["dog harness"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("cleanpull/aliexpress-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchTerms": [
    "dog harness"
  ]
}' |
apify call cleanpull/aliexpress-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,cleanpull/aliexpress-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
