## 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.

}
```

### Using with Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("cryptosignals/aliexpress-scraper").call(run_input={
    "action": "search",
    "query": "mechanical keyboard",
    "maxItems": 30,
    "sort": "total_tranpro_desc",
    "minPrice": 20,
    "maxPrice": 100,
})

for product in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{product['title'][:60]}")
    print(f"  ${product['price']} (was ${product.get('originalPrice', 'N/A')}) — {product.get('soldCount', 0)} sold")
    print(f"  Rating: {product.get('starRating', 'N/A')} — Store: {product.get('store', 'N/A')}")
```

### Using with JavaScript

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('cryptosignals/aliexpress-scraper').call({
    action: 'search',
    query: 'usb c hub',
    maxItems: 25,
    sort: 'price_asc',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(p => {
    console.log(`${p.title.slice(0, 50)} — $${p.price} (${p.soldCount} sold)`);
});
```

### Proxy

AliExpress serves different prices and content by region, and blocks datacenter IPs immediately. Residential proxies are required for consistent results, especially at scale.

[ThorData](https://thordata.partnerstack.com/partner/0a0x4nzh) offers residential proxies in 195+ countries that handle AliExpress's aggressive anti-bot measures reliably.

### Integrations

Connect this actor to **Google Sheets**, **Airtable**, **BigQuery**, **Slack**, **Zapier**, **Make**, or use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api) for programmatic access and webhook notifications.
