## 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`).

### Installation and Usage

1. Search for "Aliexpress Product Reviews Scraper" in the Apify Store.
2. Click "Try for free" or "Run".
3. Configure input parameters (e.g., list of URLs and proxy settings).
4. Click "Start" to begin extraction.
5. Monitor progress in the log.
6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel).

### 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.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,getdataforme/aliexpress-product-reviews-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).
