Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## AliExpress Scraper Search AliExpress and export products with prices, ratings and order counts — plus the most complete customer-review data on the Store. By keyword or URL. No login, no setup. You only pay for the results you get. ### What it does - **Search by keyword** — collect matching products across as many pages as you need. - **Scrape by URL** — paste product URLs or search/category URLs directly. - **Customer reviews (premium)** — the deepest review extraction available: ratings, text, buyer name and country, helpful votes, aspect tags, shipping method, photos, and more. Filter by star rating, photos-only, sort by most recent, and translate into 16 languages. - **Sorting & price filter** — order by best match, price, orders or newest; filter by min/max price in USD. - **Dual currency** — every product carries USD and EUR price columns using live exchange rates. - **Country pricing** — choose the storefront country to control prices and currency. ### Product output Every product includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | productId | AliExpress product ID | | url | Product page URL | | title | Product title | | image | Main product image | | salePrice / salePriceFormatted | Current price (number and display string) | | originalPrice / originalPriceFormatted | Price before discount | | discountPercent | Discount percentage | | currency | Currency code | | rating | Average star rating | | orders | Units sold (as shown, e.g. "297 sold") | | savingsTag | "Save $X" promotion tag | | salePriceUSD / salePriceEUR | Current price converted to USD and EUR (live rates) | | originalPriceUSD / originalPriceEUR | Original price in USD and EUR | | ordersCount | Exact number of units sold (numeric) | | freeShipping | Whether free shipping is offered | | promotionTags | Promotion / delivery tags shown on the card | | images | Full image gallery | | categoryId | AliExpress category path | | spuId / skuId | Product and SKU identifiers | | choice | Whether it is an AliExpress Choice item | | scrapedAt | Timestamp of capture | > **Note on direct product URLs:** AliExpress serves product pages behind anti-bot protection. When you pass a direct `/item/.html` URL, the scraper returns the product ID, rating, review count, star distribution and (optionally) reviews. Title and price for a single product are most reliably collected through search. > **A note on prices:** AliExpress localises prices by region and sometimes shows inflated figures for grey-market or low-volume listings. The scraper reports exactly what AliExpress displays for the selected proxy country. The `salePriceUSD` and `salePriceEUR` columns give a consistent cross-currency reference so you can compare like for like. ### Reviews (premium feature) Turn on **Include reviews** to extract customer reviews. Each review includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | reviewId | Unique review ID | | rating | Star rating (1–5) | | content | Review text (original language) | | translatedContent | Review translated to your chosen language (when translation is on) | | additionalContent | Follow-up feedback, if any | | date | Review date | | buyerName | Reviewer name (null if anonymous) | | buyerCountry | Buyer country | | buyerAvatar | Reviewer avatar image | | skuInfo | Variant the buyer purchased | | logistics | Shipping method used | | wouldBuyAgain | Buyer's repurchase intent | | upVotes / downVotes | Helpful votes | | aspectLabels | Aspect ratings (e.g. "Quality of sound: Fast") | | originalLanguage | Original review language | | aiGenerated | Whether the text was AI-generated | | hasImages / images | Buyer-uploaded photos | Review controls: filter by star rating (5/4/3/2/1), photos-only, sort by most relevant / most recent / most helpful, set a per-product cap (or fetch all up to AliExpress's ~5,000 limit), and translate reviews into 16 languages (original text always kept), and choose how reviews appear — **nested** inside each product row, or as **separate rows** (one per review) for large exports. ### Example inputs **Products by keyword** ```json { "searchQueries": ["wireless headphones"], "maxResults": 100 } ```` **Products with reviews (separate rows)** ```json { "searchQueries": ["bluetooth speaker"], "maxResults": 20, "includeReviews": true, "maxReviewsPerProduct": 50, "reviewOutputMode": "separate" } ``` **Only 5-star reviews with photos for a specific product** ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256811844384040.html" }], "includeReviews": true, "reviewStarFilter": "5", "reviewImagesOnly": true } ``` **Daily price-tracking feed** ```json { "searchQueries": ["mechanical keyboard"], "maxResults": 200, "sortBy": "newest" } ``` ### 💰 Pricing You only pay for results successfully returned. Failed retries are never charged. | Result type | Price | |-------------|-------| | Product | $1.49 per 1,000 products | | Review | $1.49 per 1,000 reviews | Reviews are the cheapest on the Store — competitors charge $1.50 to $2.50 per 1,000 reviews. ### Need a custom scraper? We build and maintain custom scrapers for any public website. You only pay for results — we cover all compute and infrastructure costs. Tell us what data you need at [www.unfencedgroup.nl](https://www.unfencedgroup.nl). # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Keywords to search on AliExpress. Each query is paginated until maxResults is reached. Example: \["wireless headphones", "phone case"]. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Direct AliExpress product URLs (/item/.html) or search/category URLs. Product URLs are added directly; search URLs are paginated. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return per run. Set to 0 for unlimited (use with care). ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Sort order applied to product search results. ## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`): Fetch customer reviews for each product. Reviews are a premium feature billed separately per review. Each review includes rating, text, date, buyer name and country, helpful votes, aspect tags, shipping method, photos and more. ## `maxReviewsPerProduct` (type: `integer`): Cap on reviews fetched per product. Set to 0 or -1 for all available reviews (AliExpress caps at ~5,000 per product). ## `reviewStarFilter` (type: `string`): Only fetch reviews with this star rating. ## `reviewImagesOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only fetch reviews that include buyer photos. Overrides the star filter. ## `reviewSort` (type: `string`): How to sort reviews before fetching. ## `reviewOutputMode` (type: `string`): How reviews appear in the dataset. 'Nested' keeps reviews inside each product row. 'Separate' outputs one row per review (better for large review exports and analysis). ## `translateReviews` (type: `boolean`): Translate each review into a target language. The original text is always kept alongside the translation. ## `translateTo` (type: `string`): Target language for review translation (when 'Translate reviews' is on). ## `convertCurrencies` (type: `boolean`): Add salePriceUSD, salePriceEUR (and original-price equivalents) to every product using live exchange rates. AliExpress localises prices by region; these columns give a consistent cross-currency reference. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Only return products at or above this price in USD. 0 = no minimum. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Only return products at or below this price in USD. 0 = no maximum. ## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`): Residential proxy exit country (ISO code). Affects prices and currency shown. US is the default and most reliable. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "wireless headphones" ], "maxResults": 5, "sortBy": "default", "includeReviews": false, "maxReviewsPerProduct": 20, "reviewStarFilter": "all", "reviewImagesOnly": false, "reviewSort": "relevant", "reviewOutputMode": "nested", "translateReviews": false, "translateTo": "en_US", "convertCurrencies": true, "minPrice": 0, "maxPrice": 0, "proxyCountry": "US" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
