## Run it
- Set `APIFY_TOKEN` in your environment, then call the synchronous endpoint for small and medium runs:
+ Set `APIFY_TOKEN`, then call the synchronous endpoint for small and medium runs (it waits up to 300 seconds):
```bash
- curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~aliexpress-multi-region-search-store-and-review/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
+ curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~aliexpress-multi-region-search-store-and-review/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
- -d @references/example-input.json
+ -d @references/example-input.json > output.json
```
- For large runs, start an async run and read the dataset:
+ Or with Node 18+: `node scripts/run.mjs [input.json]`.
- ```bash
- RUN=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~aliexpress-multi-region-search-store-and-review/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
- -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
- -d @references/example-input.json | jq -r '.data.id')
+ For large runs, start an async run and read its dataset when it finishes:
- curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" | jq '.data.status'
- curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/$(curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.defaultDatasetId')/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN&format=json" > output.json

+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d @references/example-input.json)
+ RUN_ID=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.id'); DATASET=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.defaultDatasetId')
+ curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID?waitForFinish=60" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status'

## Cost and limits
- - Billing is per Apify actor run and per dataset item. Check the actor page for current pricing.
- - `run-sync-get-dataset-items` has a request timeout. Use the async pattern for large jobs.
- - Respect rate limits and the target site's terms.
+ - Apify bills the Actor's usage on your account; the Actor's Pricing tab shows the current price.
+ - Keep the limit in the input small for a first run.
## Guardrails
- - Public data only. Do not use cookies, sessions, or private account data.
- - Do not use the output for spam, harassment, or unlawful discrimination.
- - Verify local law and the target site's terms before running at scale.
- - Demo rows in the Scraper Finder video are illustrative.
