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 Search Scraper Search any keyword on AliExpress and export every product card — price, rating, orders, store details, and more — across as many pages as you need. ### Why use this actor - No AliExpress account or login required — works on fully public search results. - Multi-keyword input with configurable page depth per query. - Localized results — choose your ship-to country and currency at run time. - Rich card payload including title, sale price, original price, discount, rating, orders count, free-shipping flag, and sponsored indicator. - Stable JSON output ready to load into any database, spreadsheet, or data pipeline. - Automatic retries ensure you get complete results even on flaky connections. ### How it works 1. You provide one or more search keywords and set how many pages to collect per keyword. 2. The actor fetches each search results page and parses every product card on the page. 3. Localization settings (country, currency) are applied so prices reflect your target market. 4. Results stream into your Apify dataset as they are collected, page by page. 5. When all pages are done you can download the full dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers. ### Input ```json { "queries": ["bluetooth headphones", "mini projector"], "maxPagesPerQuery": 3, "country": "US", "currency": "USD", "maxConcurrency": 4, "maxRequestRetries": 4, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `queries` | array | Search keywords — one string per entry. | | `maxPagesPerQuery` | integer | Pages to collect per keyword.
