## 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

### 🚀 DHgate Reviews Scraper

Export buyer reviews and rating summaries from DHgate. The **DHgate Reviews Scraper** turns any DHgate product page into structured review data: star rating, review text, the exact variant the buyer ordered (size, color…), buyer country, photos and seller replies — plus a rating summary with star breakdown, sales count and the most mentioned review tags. Use it to check supplier quality before you order, compare products and sellers, or monitor feedback on your own listings.

### ✨ Features

- ⭐ **Full review history**: every public review of a product, newest first — rating, text, date, helpful votes, buyer level and country.
- 👕 **Ordered variant on every review**: see which size or color the reviewer bought, e.g. `Size: EUR 40, Color: Silver` — ideal for spotting sizing or quality problems in one variant.
- 🏪 **Seller-wide reviews**: switch to seller mode to get all reviews of the store behind a product, each with the reviewed product's name, link and price.
- 📊 **Rating summaries**: star counts (5 to 1), average rating, reviews with photos, number of sales, top review tags ("good quality", "fast delivery"…) and DHgate's written review summary.
- 📷 **Photos, videos and seller replies** included when the buyer or seller added them.
- 📅 **Monitoring-ready**: `Reviews since` returns only new reviews, so scheduled runs pay only for what changed.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Add products** – Paste DHgate product URLs (e.g. `https://www.dhgate.com/product/<name>/1113345014.html`) or just the numeric product IDs.
2. **Choose what to collect** – Product reviews (default) or all reviews of each product's seller. Set the maximum number of reviews (default 50, `0` returns summaries only).
3. **Run the scraper** – You get one rating summary per product (or seller) followed by its reviews, newest first.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `productUrls` | DHgate product URLs or numeric product IDs. |
| `reviewScope` | `product` (default) or `seller` — all reviews of the store selling each product. Products from the same store are collected once. |
| `maxReviewsPerProduct` | Newest reviews first. Default 50; `0` = rating summaries only. |
| `reviewedSince` | Only reviews written on or after this date. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Residential proxies are required (US by default). |

```json
{
    "productUrls": ["https://www.dhgate.com/product/2026-summer-new-british-style-large-size/1113345014.html"],
    "reviewScope": "product",
    "maxReviewsPerProduct": 200,
    "reviewedSince": "2026-01-01"
}
```

### 📊 Sample Output Data

Every row has a `recordType`: `product-summary` / `seller-summary` or `review`. Use the **Reviews** and **Rating summaries** views in the dataset, or filter on `recordType` in your export.

```json
[
    {
        "recordType": "product-summary",
        "itemCode": "1113345014",
        "productUrl": "https://www.dhgate.com/product/2026-summer-new-british-style-large-size/1113345014.html",
        "supplierId": null,
        "reviewCount": 157,

        "tags": [
            { "name": "good quality", "count": 10 },
            { "name": "Great product", "count": 9 },
            { "name": "Fast delivery", "count": 8 }
        ],
        "aiSummary": "It's a great product that users are very satisfied with, with high quality and beautiful design being some of the key features that are praised…",
        "scrapedAt": "2026-09-27T09:32:31.269Z"
    },
    {
        "recordType": "review",
        "reviewId": "464804069",
        "scope": "product",
        "itemCode": "1113345014",
        "productName": null,
        "productUrl": "https://www.dhgate.com/product/2026-summer-new-british-style-large-size/1113345014.html",
        "supplierId": null,
        "rating": 4,
        "text": "good quality trainers",
        "createdAt": "2026-09-21T13:51:05.000Z",
        "variant": "Size: EUR 40, Color: Silver",
        "variantAttributes": { "Size": "EUR 40", "Color": "Silver" },
        "helpfulVotes": 2,
        "unhelpfulVotes": 0,
        "buyerLevel": "V1",
        "buyerCountry": "United Kingdom",
        "buyerCountryCode": "UK",
        "photoUrls": [],
        "videoUrl": null,
        "sellerReply": null,
        "sellerReplyAt": null,
        "scrapedAt": "2026-09-27T09:32:31.269Z"
    }
]
```

In seller mode, every review also carries `productName`, `productUrl` and `itemCode` of the product that was reviewed, and `supplierId` identifies the store.

### 📋 Coverage report

Each run saves a `SUMMARY` record with, per product or seller, the review count DHgate states, how many reviews it lists publicly, how many were returned and why collection stopped (`maxReviews`, `dateReached`, `listEnd`, `summaryOnly`). DHgate counts some automatic default reviews in a seller's total without listing them, so a seller may state 7,449 reviews but list 2,124 — the scraper returns every listed review. Product IDs that do not exist are reported as `notFound` and are not charged. Many DHgate products have no reviews yet; you still get their summary with zero counts.

### 💰 Pricing

Pay only for what you get:

| Event | Price |
|---|---:|
| Rating summary (per product or seller) | $0.002 |
| Review | $0.001 |

20 products with 50 reviews each cost about $1.04. All 2,000 reviews of a large seller cost about $2.00. If you set a maximum cost per run, the scraper stops when it is reached.

### ❓ FAQ

**Are reviewer names included?** No. You get the buyer's membership level and country, not their name.

**Why does a seller show fewer reviews than DHgate states?** DHgate hides automatic default reviews from its public list. The `SUMMARY` record shows both numbers.

**Can I start from a store URL?** Use any product URL from that store with `reviewScope: "seller"`.
