Tips for Best Results

Choose Products with Reviews

• Verify the product has customer reviews before running
• Products with higher order counts typically have more reviews
• Check the review count on the product page first

Optimize Collection Size

• Start with smaller batches (20-50) for testing
• Increase results_wanted for comprehensive analysis
• Use filters to focus on relevant review types

Handle Temporary Review Gaps

• Products with no public reviews will complete successfully with an empty dataset
• Temporary marketplace changes are retried automatically before the actor gives up on a page
• If AliExpress shifts the review response shape, the actor logs warnings and keeps partial data instead of crashing

Use Photo Reviews for Quality Assessment

• Set filter: "withPictures" to see real product photos
• Customer photos often show true product quality
• Useful for verifying listing accuracy

Proxy Configuration

For reliable results, residential proxies are recommended:

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

Frequently Asked Questions

How many reviews can I collect?

You can collect all available reviews for a product. The practical limit depends on how many reviews the product has.

Can I scrape multiple products?

This actor processes one product at a time. For multiple products, run separate actor calls or use the Apify scheduler.

What if reviews are in different languages?

Reviews are extracted with the best available text for analysis, and the dataset also includes original text and translation metadata when AliExpress provides it.

Are review images included?

Yes, all image URLs uploaded by reviewers are captured in the images array.

What happens if AliExpress changes its review response?

The actor retries with refreshed request settings, records diagnostics, and keeps any data already collected. Small transient issues result in warnings instead of a hard crash.

How fresh is the data?

Each run fetches real-time data. Schedule regular runs to track review trends over time.

What about products with no reviews?

The actor will complete successfully but return an empty dataset if no reviews exist.
