Output Format

The Actor outputs data in JSON format as an array of review objects. Each object includes fields like review_id, reviewer_name, rating, review_text, review_date, images, and more. This structured format ensures easy parsing and integration, with multilingual support for original and translated text.

Error Handling

The Actor handles common errors such as invalid URLs, network timeouts, and anti-scraping blocks by retrying requests and logging issues. If a URL fails persistently, it will be skipped with a warning in the logs. For persistent problems, check proxy settings or contact support.

Rate Limiting and Best Practices

AliExpress may impose rate limits; use proxies to distribute requests. Best practices include limiting concurrent URLs to 5-10, monitoring Apify usage, and running during off-peak hours. Avoid overloading the platform to prevent bans.

Limitations

• Scraping is limited to publicly available reviews; private or deleted content is not accessible.
• Output may vary based on AliExpress page changes; updates are made to maintain compatibility.
• Large-scale scraping requires sufficient Apify credits and may be subject to platform policies.
