## 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 & Price Scraper

> **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or in any
> way officially connected to AliExpress or Alibaba Group. "AliExpress" is a trademark of its
> respective owner and is used here only to describe what this tool reads. It reads the same
> public search pages a browser does.

Fast, lightweight scraper that extracts product listings, prices, customer ratings, units sold, and merchant metadata from AliExpress search results across global locales into clean JSON/CSV datasets.

### What does it do?

Searches AliExpress across any keyword or category and extracts structured listing data:

- **Product Details:** Product ID, title, canonical URL, thumbnail image, and gallery image links.
- **Pricing & Discounts:** Current sale price, list price, and discount percentage across currencies (USD, EUR, GBP).
- **Social Proof:** Customer star rating and units sold.
- **Shipping & Offers:** Free shipping indicators and delivery service tags.
- **Clean Output:** Normalized numeric fields for sorting and programmatic analysis.

### Why use it?

- **Zero Browser Overhead:** High-throughput HTTP execution backed by Apify Unblocker proxy integration to avoid slow browser instances and excessive memory charges.
- **512 MB Standard:** Engineered to run smoothly on a minimal 512 MB memory footprint.
- **Privacy-First:** Strictly collects public merchant and product data; never extracts personal phone numbers or buyer identities.
- **Configurable Quality Filters:** Filter results by minimum star rating, minimum units sold, or specific price bands directly at the crawl stage.

### How to use it

1. Enter search queries in `searchQueries` (e.g. `["wireless earbuds", "mechanical keyboard"]`).
2. Specify target ship-to `country` and `currency` (defaults to `US` and `USD`).
3. Set optional price, rating, or sold thresholds.
4. Run the Actor and export the dataset to JSON, CSV, or Excel.
