## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### FAQ

#### What is DHgate.com?

[DHgate.com](https://www.dhgate.com) is one of China's largest cross-border B2B/B2C e-commerce platforms, connecting global buyers with Chinese manufacturers and wholesalers. It offers millions of products across categories like electronics, fashion, home & garden, and more — with direct shipping worldwide.

#### How is this different from an Alibaba or AliExpress scraper?

DHgate specializes in **cross-border wholesale with low MOQ** (often 1 piece). Unlike Alibaba (bulk B2B) or AliExpress (retail), DHgate sits in the sweet spot for dropshippers and small businesses who want wholesale prices without committing to large orders.

#### Can I schedule automatic runs?

Yes. Use [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run the scraper daily, weekly, or at any custom interval. Great for price monitoring — set it up once and get fresh data delivered to your inbox, Google Sheets, or webhook automatically.

#### How do I export data to Google Sheets or CSV?

After each run, go to the dataset tab and click "Export". You can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect directly to Google Sheets via the Apify integration. For programmatic access, use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) to fetch results in any format.

#### Does it work with proxies?

The scraper uses Apify's built-in proxy infrastructure. No additional proxy configuration is needed — it handles IP rotation and rate limiting automatically to ensure reliable data extraction.

#### How much does it cost to run?

Very little. The scraper uses pure HTTP requests (no browser), so compute costs are minimal. A typical run of 3 keywords × 3 pages (~540 products) costs less than **$0.01** in Apify platform credits.
