## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## DHgate Search Scraper

Search [DHgate.com](https://www.dhgate.com/) for any keyword and get clean wholesale product cards — product, price, minimum order, seller, ratings, reviews, and recent sales — as structured JSON.

### Why use this actor

- **Wholesale sourcing at scale** — every result links the product to its detail page and the seller's store.
- **Real wholesale pricing** — captures the price (single value or range), the original pre-discount price, and the minimum order quantity for each product.
- **Buyer trust signals** — seller feedback percentage, review rating, review count, positive-review percentage, and recent sales count when shown.
- **No account, no API key** — works straight from public search pages.
- **Automatic retries** — transient hiccups are retried for you, so runs stay reliable.
- **Stable JSON output** — the same field names every run, ready for spreadsheets, databases, or pipelines.

### How it works

1. You provide one or more search keywords.
2. The actor pulls the search results for each keyword across as many pages as you allow (about 48 products per page).
3. Each product is saved as a `PRODUCT` record with its price, minimum order, seller, ratings, and recent sales.
4. If a keyword returns nothing, the actor still writes one diagnostic record so a query is never silently dropped.
5. Everything lands in your dataset, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage any browsers or scrapers. For larger runs we recommend enabling a proxy.

### Input

```json
{
    "queries": [
        "mechanical watch",
        "wireless earbuds"
    ],
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
    "maxConcurrency": 4,
    "maxRequestRetries": 5,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
````

Each keyword in `queries` is searched independently and produces its own set of `PRODUCT` records.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `queries` | array | **Required.** Keywords to search (one per array entry). Each keyword yields its own product cards. |
| `maxPagesPerQuery` | integer | Pages of results per query, ~48 products/page (`1`–`20`). Stops early when a page returns no more products. Default `2`. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Number of parallel requests across all keywords (`1`–`20`). Default `4`. |
| `maxRequestRetries` | integer | Retries per page before giving up (`1`–`15`). Default `5`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy or a custom proxy list. Datacenter proxies work fine for this source. |

### Output

Each product is one record (`recordType: "PRODUCT"`):

```json
{
    "recordType": "PRODUCT",
    "query": "mechanical watch",
    "page": 1,
    "title": "St9 Jacob Watch Ceramic Bezel Black Sapphire Date Dial 41Mm Automatic Mechanical Stainless Steel Mens Men Jacobo Co Wristwatches 4Ca",
    "productUrl": "https://www.dhgate.com/product/st9-jacob-watch-ceramic-bezel-black-sapphire/1106196355.html",
    "itemCode": "1106196355",
    "productId": "8aaafce29e15efcf019e2ab8ace940f4",
    "priceText": "US $29.47 - 42.12",
    "priceMin": 29.47,
    "priceMax": 42.12,
    "currency": "USD",
    "originalPriceText": "US $36.38 - 52.00 / Piece",
    "minOrder": "1 Piece",
    "minOrderNum": 1,
    "unit": "Piece",
    "image": "https://img4.dhresource.com/webp/m/300x300/f3/albu/bw/m/14/2ae1b0e0-7b90-4939-82c5-8c54fb7c59e3.jpg",
    "sellerName": "luxury_jewelry_top1",
    "storeUrl": "https://www.dhgate.com/store/top-selling/22273705.html",
    "sellerId": "8aaafdb89a4881da019a58638dd314a4",
    "feedbackPercent": "87.2%",
    "rating": 5.0,
    "reviewCount": 2,
    "positiveReview": "100%",
    "soldCount": 18,
    "freeShipping": false,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T19:24:27Z"
}
```

If a keyword returns no products, the actor writes a single diagnostic record instead:

```json
{
    "recordType": "PRODUCT",
    "_input": "xyzzy no such product",
    "error": "NO_RESULTS",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-10T19:24:27Z"
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `recordType` | string | Always `"PRODUCT"`. |
| `query` | string | The keyword that produced this record. |
| `page` | integer | Result page the product was found on. |
| `title` | string | Product title. |
| `productUrl` | string | Full product detail URL. |
| `itemCode` | string | DHgate product item code. |
| `productId` | string | Internal product identifier. |
| `priceText` | string | Price exactly as shown, e.g. `US $29.47 - 42.12`. |
| `priceMin` / `priceMax` | number | Low / high end of the price (`priceMax` is `null` for a single price). |
| `currency` | string | ISO currency of the price (e.g. `USD`). |
| `originalPriceText` | string | Original pre-discount price when shown. |
| `minOrder` | string | Minimum order quantity as shown, e.g. `1 Piece`. |
| `minOrderNum` | integer | Minimum order quantity as a number. |
| `unit` | string | Order unit, e.g. `Piece`. |
| `image` | string | Primary product image URL. |
| `sellerName` | string | Seller store handle. |
| `storeUrl` | string | Seller's store page URL. |
| `sellerId` | string | Internal seller identifier. |
| `feedbackPercent` | string | Seller positive-feedback percentage, e.g. `87.2%`. |
| `rating` | number | Product review rating when shown, e.g. `5.0`. |
| `reviewCount` | integer | Number of product reviews when shown. |
| `positiveReview` | string | Positive-review percentage when shown, e.g. `100%`. |
| `soldCount` | integer | Recently sold count when shown. |
| `freeShipping` | boolean | Whether the product is shown as free shipping. |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of collection. |
| `error` | string | Only on diagnostic records: `NO_RESULTS` or `BLOCKED_AFTER_RETRIES`. |
