🚀 Start your first run

1. Open the Actor's Input tab.
2. Choose a Mode:
   • 🔎 Search for product discovery, prices, ratings and order counts.
   • ⭐ Search + full detail for the all-in-one record: cards plus SKUs, shipping, specs, description, store and (optionally) reviews.
   • 📦 Product detail for a known list of product URLs or IDs.
   • 💬 Reviews for buyer reviews and a rating breakdown by product.
3. Pick Currency and Ship to country — prices, shipping and availability come back for that destination.
4. For a search mode, fill Search queries, one keyword per row (e.g. phone case, wireless earbuds). For detail/reviews, paste Product URLs or Product IDs.
5. Set Max results and click Start. For a first run, keep it small.
6. Open Output → Products for a clean table, then Export to CSV, Excel or JSON.

Copy this into Input → JSON for a first run:

{ "mode": "SEARCH", "searchQueries": ["phone case"], "sortBy": "orders", "maxResults": 50 }

The default memory is 512 MB. Invalid or empty input finishes safely with a correction message instead of crashing the Actor.

🎯 Choose a mode

Mode	What it collects	Recommended use
🔎 SEARCH	Product cards: price, discount, currency, rating, orders, images, store, badges	Discovery and price research
⭐ SEARCH_DETAIL	Everything from Search plus full detail (every SKU and its price, shipping, specs, description, store) and optional reviews	All-in-one product research
📦 PRODUCT_DETAIL	Full product record for each URL / ID, without a keyword search	Enriching a known list of products
💬 REVIEWS	Buyer reviews (text, rating, photos, country, SKU) + a rating-breakdown summary per product	Review mining and sentiment

Search + full detail first searches and filters, then enriches only the rows that remain — so you never pay to enrich products you filtered out.

Enter one keyword per entry. For example, ["graphic tee", "funny shirt"] runs two searches. An entry such as "graphic tee, funny shirt" stays one literal query; the Actor does not silently split it.

🌍 Currency, country & language

Pick any currency (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, BRL, RUB, PLN, SEK, AED, SAR, INR), any ship-to country (US, GB, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, BR, AU, CA, PL, SA, AE, IN, MX, …) and any language (en, de, fr, es, it, nl, pt, pl, ru, ar). Prices, shipping options and availability are returned for the destination you choose, and titles/specs/descriptions come back in the selected language.

One caveat worth knowing: AliExpress serves no products for shipments to Russia on its public catalog. A shipToCountry: "RU" run finishes cleanly with zero rows rather than inventing results — use another destination, and the RUB currency still works for pricing shipped elsewhere.

🔎 Main fields

Product (search & detail)

• Identity: productId, title, url, productType, searchQuery, scrapedAt.
• Price: salePrice, originalPrice, discountPercentage, currency (+ formatted strings).
• Demand: rating, reviewCount, orders, soldCount.
• Media: image, images, imageWidth, imageHeight.
• Badges: sellingPoints, isChoice, inStock, isSponsored.
• Store: storeName, storeId, storeUrl (detail adds followers, positiveRate, openedYears).

Additional detail fields

• variants[] — every SKU: skuId, price, originalPrice, stock, available, option ids.
• shipping, shippingOptions[] — provider, cost, free-shipping, delivery days, ship-from/to.
• specs[] and specsDict — product attributes as a list and a ready-to-filter name → value map.
• description — the full item description.
• categoryId, categoryPath — category breadcrumbs.

Every record also carries competitor-compatible aliases (product_id, sale_price, original_price, orders_count, ratingValue, image_url, totalSold, …) so it slots straight into tools built for other AliExpress scrapers.

Review fields

Each review row includes reviewId, productId, reviewerName, anonymous, country, rating, ratingPercent, reviewText, originalReviewText, reviewDate, skuInfo, images, thumbnailImages, imageCount, helpfulCount, aiGenerated, selectedReview. A review_summary row per product gives averageStar, totalReviews, the full 1–5★ breakdown, positiveRate and structured review labels.

✨ Exclusive signals (only here)

Every product also carries computed intelligence no other AliExpress scraper returns:

Field	What it is
landedPrice	the real cost — item price plus shipping, converted into your chosen currency (shippingPrice broken out too)
dealScore	a 0–100 value-for-money score blending rating, order volume and price — sort a whole search by the best bang for the buck
sellerTrustScore	a 0–100 seller-trust score from positive-feedback %, feedback volume, store age and seller level
priceMin / priceMax / priceAvg / cheapestSkuId	the full price spread across every SKU, and which variant is cheapest
reviewSummary	the 1–5★ breakdown, positive rate and review labels on every product — without pulling a single review

---

💳 How charging works

• A result is charged only for a row saved to the dataset — a search card, an enriched product, or a review.
• Full-detail enrichment is charged only when the product-detail response succeeds; a product that could not be fetched is not billed as a detail result.
• Filtered-out and empty results are never charged. Duplicates are removed before they consume a result slot.
• No Actor-start fee — unlike most AliExpress scrapers, you pay only for the data you keep.

Use maxResults, the filters, and plain Search mode to size and cost exploratory runs before switching selected keywords to Search + full detail.

⚠️ Troubleshooting

I received fewer products than requested

A filter (price range, rating, orders, Choice, free shipping) may have removed rows, or AliExpress exposed a short result set for that keyword. Loosen the filters or add more queries.

A shipToCountry: "RU" run returned nothing

AliExpress serves no public catalog for shipments to Russia. This is expected — pick another destination. RUB currency still works for products shipped elsewhere.

Product detail is slower than search

Full detail is fetched from a protected AliExpress endpoint and may rotate the connection to get through. Search is request-only and fast; detail takes longer per product. This is normal.

Some cells are blank

AliExpress does not publish every rating, spec, shipping value or description for every product. Unavailable fields are left blank, never filled with invented values.

---

✅ Data quality and safeguards

• Prices are returned in the currency you select, verified per locale (EUR/BRL comma decimals are parsed correctly, not inflated).
• Full-detail fields are read from AliExpress's own product data; missing values stay missing rather than being guessed.
• Filters run before billing, so filtered rows cost nothing.
• Incorrect or empty input ends safely with a clear status message instead of crashing.
