Input parameters

Generated from the Actor’s input schema — the same fields the Apify console shows.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`startUrls`	array	Optional	AliExpress search, category or product URLs. Search URLs (e.g. /w/wholesale-smartphone.html) and category URLs (e.g. /category/100003109/women-clothing.html) return the products listed on them; product URLs (e.g. /item/1005006789883056.html) return that product with its variants, shipping and store.
`productIds`	array	Optional	Numeric AliExpress product IDs (e.g. 1005006789883056) to scrape, as an alternative to pasting product URLs. Each returns the full product record.
`maxItems`	integer	Optional	Maximum number of product items to scrape per URL
`includeDetails`	boolean	Optional	Add variants (per-SKU price, stock and image), shipping options, store, review count, image gallery and specifications to every search and category result. Takes one extra request per product, so runs are slower. Product URLs and IDs always include details.
`includeDescription`	boolean	Optional	Also return each product's full HTML description. Applies to products with details (product URLs and IDs, or Include product details). Adds a large field to each item.
`minSold`	integer	Optional	Keep only search and category results sold at least this many times. Leave empty for no limit. Results that show no sales count are left out when this is set.
`minRating`	number	Optional	Keep only search and category results rated at least this many stars (0–5, e.g. 4.5). Leave empty for no limit. Unrated results are left out when this is set.
`currency`	string	Optional	Currency for all prices.
`shipToCountry`	string	Optional	Country that shipping options are quoted for. For shipping outside the US, also set the proxy country to this country.
`language`	string	Optional	Language for product titles and option names. Option values come from the seller and may stay in their original language.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	Optional	Select proxies to be used by the scraper

Limitations

What this Actor does not do, so you can tell before you run it whether it fits.

Takes AliExpress search, category or product URLs, or numeric product IDs. It does not find products on its own beyond the pages you give it.
`maxItems` applies per search or category URL. Product URLs and IDs return one product each.
Search and category results carry listing fields only. Variants, shipping, store, review count, images and specifications need `includeDetails`, which adds one request per product and makes runs slower.
AliExpress sometimes refuses product details to an IP address. A product that still cannot load keeps its listing fields and has its detail fields empty; running again later usually loads it.
A product that is not sold to the chosen `shipToCountry` is reported in the run log and left out.
`minSold` and `minRating` leave out results that show no sales count or no rating.
AliExpress shows up to 60 products per results page and up to 100 pages per search, per the README.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an AliExpress account, cookies or an API key?

No. It reads only what AliExpress shows to any visitor.

How do I scrape products for a keyword?

Search on AliExpress, copy the results page URL (for example https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-smartphone.html) into `startUrls`. Filters and sorting applied before copying the URL are kept.

Can I choose the currency and shipping country?

Yes. `currency`, `shipToCountry` and `language` are input fields. Prices come back in the chosen currency and shipping options are quoted for the chosen country.

How is it priced?

Pay per event, per product, and the price is the same with or without details. The README lists plan-dependent rates plus Apify platform usage. Current pricing is shown on the Apify listing.
