AliExpress has strong anti-bot protection. The actor manages its own residential proxy automatically; there is nothing to configure. Legacy proxyConfiguration input is ignored.

Event	Price
product-serp-result	$0.002 per product

Limitations

• Store information (name, URL, rating) requires fetching individual product detail pages (not included in SERP data)
• Review count is not available in SERP results
• AliExpress may show localized prices based on detected region
• Heavy anti-bot protection may cause occasional blocks even with the residential proxy
• Maximum ~60 products per page, paginated search
