AliExpress Supplier & Offer Monitor

Sourcing teams and cross-border sellers need repeatable supplier-price evidence, not a raw HTML dump. This Actor turns public AliExpress keyword results into normalized offer rows and can flag price, sold-count, and rating changes across scheduled runs.

Cheap default run

{
  "keywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "shipToCountry": "US",
  "currency": "USD",
  "maxProductsPerKeyword": 10,
  "onlyChanged": false,
  "stateStoreName": ""
}

One public search page is requested per keyword. Inputs are limited to five keywords and 100 results per keyword.

Inputs

Field	Meaning
keywords	One to five public search phrases.
shipToCountry	Two-letter display-context country code.
currency	Requested three-letter display currency; no currency conversion is performed.
maxProductsPerKeyword	Useful rows kept per keyword, 1–100.
onlyChanged	Push only new offers or offers whose price, sold count, or rating changed.
stateStoreName	Optional named key-value store for an independent watchlist.
proxyConfiguration	Optional override; ordinary Apify residential proxy is the default.

Each dataset row is one real public offer. RUN_SUMMARY contains counts and bounded failure diagnostics; errors are never written as dataset rows.

Scheduling and state

Schedule the Actor with the same stateStoreName to compare successive runs. The first sighting is marked isNew. Later rows include previous public values and change flags. State is capped at 10,000 product IDs. With onlyChanged: true, unchanged rows are not emitted or billed, but their last-seen state is refreshed.

Limitations and failure behavior

AliExpress can change its embedded data and card markup. The parser uses a structural JSON scan plus a conservative HTML fallback, but a major redesign may require an update. Ship-to country and currency are display hints; this Actor does not promise checkout availability, shipping cost, or currency conversion. Public pages can vary by region.

Independent keyword failures are recorded and remaining keywords continue. A run fails if every keyword fails or if AliExpress returns a login, CAPTCHA, human-verification, or access-control page. The Actor does not solve or bypass those controls.

Responsible use

Only public keyword result pages are requested. The Actor does not log in, use private data, visit checkout, scrape account pages, or claim affiliation with AliExpress. Use the output in line with applicable site terms and law.

Pricing

The pre-release hypothesis is $0.003 per dataset result. This is not active pricing until it is configured and verified on Apify. Failed requests, duplicate rows, suppressed unchanged rows, and summary records are not dataset results.
