## 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 Product Scraper: Prices, Orders Sold and Ratings

**$1 per 1,000 products. Platform usage included. No rental, no minimum.**

The four most used AliExpress actors on Apify Store charge $2.00 to $9.00 per 1,000 products, and one or more add platform usage on top (Store prices checked 5 October 2026). This actor returns the same kind of data for $1.

[Open it in Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/actors/ghLimwA61qZJsCfzI/input)

### What it costs

| Products | This actor | Most used AliExpress actors on the Store |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $1.00 | $2.00 to $9.00 |
| 10,000 | $10.00 | $20 to $90 |
| 100,000 | $100.00 | $200 to $900 |

Plus $0.001 per run. Tracking 10 search terms daily at 60 products each is 600 products a day: about $0.60 a day, or about $18 a month. You pay only for product rows delivered.

### Why people switch

- **One flat price.** The proxy, and Apify Unblocker when a page needs it, are included in the $1.
- **One currency per run**, set by the ship to country you pick, so a run never mixes dollars and euros.
- **Orders as a number**, next to price, original price, discount, rating, ship from country and AliExpress Choice and ad flags.
- **Quick and clean.** One page of 50 products took about 10 seconds in our tests. Failed pages are never charged.

### Quick start

1. Open the actor, type a product, press **Start**.
2. Or paste this input:

```json
{ "searchTerms": ["phone holder"], "shipTo": "US", "maxItems": 50 }
```

3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

### Use it from code

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/one_dollar_store~aliexpress-product-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["yoga mat"], "shipTo": "GB", "maxItems": 25}'
```

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("one_dollar_store/aliexpress-product-search-scraper").call(
    run_input={"searchTerms": ["phone holder"], "sortBy": "priceLowToHigh", "maxItems": 100}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["price"], item["currency"], item.get("ordersSold"), item["title"][:60])
```

### Use it from an AI assistant

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants can call this actor through Apify's MCP server. Add it with this server address:

```
https://mcp.apify.com?tools=one_dollar_store/aliexpress-product-search-scraper
```

Then ask, for example: "Search AliExpress for yoga mats shipped to the UK and list the 10 with the most orders."

### Switching from another AliExpress actor

Most AliExpress search actors take keywords and a result limit. Here they are `searchTerms` and `maxItems` (per term), plus `shipTo` for the currency. The core fields are `title`, `price`, `currency`, `ordersSold`, `rating` and `url`.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `searchTerms` | list of text | none (required) | Products to look for, one per line. |
| `maxItems` | number | 100 | Most products per search term (minimum 10). AliExpress shows 60 a page. |
| `shipTo` | country code | `US` | Ship to country. Sets the currency (USD for US, EUR for Germany, and so on). |
| `sortBy` | choice | `bestMatch` | `bestMatch`, `orders` (most orders), `priceLowToHigh` or `priceHighToLow`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Apify datacenter | Works for most searches. Its cost is included. |
| `unblockerFallback` | true or false | true | If a page is refused three times, try it once more through Apify Unblocker. |

### Output fields

`productId`, `url`, `title`, `price` (sale price), `originalPrice` (struck through price), `discountPercent`, `currency`, `ordersSold` (a number, exact when AliExpress gives it), `ordersText` (the label shown, such as "4,000+ sold"), `rating` (out of 5), `shipFrom` (such as `CN` or `US`), `isChoice` (AliExpress Choice), `isAd` (sponsored), `freeShipping` (only when the card says so), `tags` (delivery dates or coupons on the card), `imageUrl`, `searchTerm`, `page`, `position`, `shipTo`, `scrapedAt`. Fields AliExpress does not show for a product are left out of that row.

### Sample results

Real rows from a test run on 4 October 2026 (`phone holder`, lowest price first, ship to US), shortened: long titles are cut and some fields are left out.

```json
[
  {"title": "Universal Car Phone Mount,Upgraded Handsfree Stand, Phone Holder for Car ...",
   "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256807317975867.html", "price": 0.06, "originalPrice": 0.15, "discountPercent": 58,
   "currency": "USD", "ordersSold": 495, "ordersText": "495 sold", "rating": 4.9, "shipFrom": "CN", "isChoice": false, "position": 1},

   "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256811913413517.html", "price": 0.33, "originalPrice": 4.51, "discountPercent": 92,
   "currency": "USD", "ordersSold": 4288, "ordersText": "4,000+ sold", "rating": 4.9, "shipFrom": "CN", "isChoice": true,
   "isAd": false, "searchTerm": "phone holder", "position": 31}
]
```

### Limits

- One row per product per search term. The same product found by two terms appears once under each term.
- AliExpress decides how many pages a search has; very narrow terms can end after one or two pages.
- Ratings and order counts appear only when AliExpress shows them for a product. For some EU countries AliExpress hides them in search results.
- A run summary (pages read, requests, any skipped pages) is saved in the key value store as `RUN_SUMMARY`, not in the dataset.

### FAQ

**What is the cheapest AliExpress scraper on Apify?**
This actor costs $1 per 1,000 products with platform usage included. The four most used AliExpress actors on the Store charged $2.00 to $9.00 per 1,000 when we checked on 5 October 2026.

**How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 AliExpress products?**
$10, plus $0.001 for each run.

**Do I pay for compute or proxy on top?**
No. Platform usage, including the proxy and any Apify Unblocker use, is included in the $1 per 1,000 price.

**Do I need an AliExpress account?**
No. The actor reads the public search pages a logged out visitor sees.

**Why fix the currency?**
AliExpress picks a currency from the visitor's location. The actor asks for your ship to country's currency on every page, so all rows match and scheduled runs compare cleanly.

**What does Apify Unblocker do here?**
Most pages load on the datacenter proxy. If AliExpress refuses a page three times, the actor tries it once through Apify Unblocker. It is on by default; the run summary counts its use.

**Is it legal?**
The actor collects only public data that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for following AliExpress's terms and the law where you live, including data protection rules.

**Is this an official AliExpress product?**
No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by AliExpress or Alibaba.

**Do I need an Apify account?**
Yes. Actors run from an Apify account, and a free account is enough to start: it includes $5 of platform usage every month. You can [sign up here](https://www.apify.com?fpr=ymnoit). This is a referral link and it costs you nothing.

**Is there a limit on the free plan?**
Yes. A run started from a free plan account delivers the first 10 results, then ends with a message and a link to the plans. Any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your own limit. The price per result is the same on every plan.

### Changelog

- October 2026: first release.

# Actor input Schema

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

Products to look for, one per line, typed the way you would type them into the AliExpress search box.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop each search term after this many products. AliExpress shows 60 products per results page. Minimum 10.

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

The country AliExpress prices and ships for. Prices come back in that country's currency, so every row in a run uses the same one.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order of the results, as in the AliExpress sort bar.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

The default Apify datacenter proxy works for most searches and keeps runs cheap. You can pick residential proxy here if you prefer.

## `unblockerFallback` (type: `boolean`):

When AliExpress refuses a results page three times on the proxy above, try that page once more through Apify Unblocker. Turn off to skip such pages instead.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchTerms": [
    "phone holder"
  ],

  "shipTo": "US",
  "sortBy": "bestMatch",
