### 2026-11-03

#### 🔧 Rebuild: correct data, honest errors, free plan limit

- **Press Start and get results**: the keyword field is prefilled, so a default run now returns products instead of nothing
- **Product Detail and Store Info paused**: both operations have stopped returning data reliably, so they are out of the operation list until they work again. Use SKU Prices for a product's prices and stock and its `sellerId`, and Store Products for a seller's catalog. Existing dataset fields are unchanged
- **Price ranges**: SKU rows now include `priceRange` and `promotionPriceRange` when variants are priced differently
- **Product URLs accepted**: `itemId` takes the full AliExpress product URL as well as the number
- **Country list**: `shipFromRegion` and `shipToCountry` are now dropdowns of 28 countries that work. The United Kingdom is `UK`
- **Shipping**: destinations a product does not ship to come back as one "does not ship" row with no row charge, instead of empty billed rows
- **Reviews**: `reviewTranslated` now holds the English translation. The misleading `reviewLanguage` field is gone
- **Clear errors**: a removed product, a bad ID or a busy moment now gives a plain message that says what to do, and error rows add no row charge
- **No double charges across pages**: AliExpress repeats some products on later result pages. Repeats are now skipped and add no row charge
- **Free plan**: free runs return up to 25 rows
- **Lower memory**: runs default to 256 MB
- **Run report**: the HTML report shows counts, charges, a preview of your rows and a ready-made retry input for anything that failed
- **Failed items**: each one in the report links to its AliExpress page and repeats the advice from its row, so "does not ship" no longer reads as "not found"
- **Overview table**: reviews, shipping quotes and variant counts now show in the Overview tab, next to products. The sale price is the main price column, because search results only carry a sale price
- **Store products**: take the seller ID from a SKU Prices row and the store ID from that seller's store URL. Other pairings can return a different store's catalog
- **Fewer empty answers**: when AliExpress briefly answers "no results" for something that exists, the actor asks again before giving up. This now applies to every page of results
- **Example IDs prefilled**: the product, seller and store ID fields come with working examples
