## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Shopee Product Catalogue Scraper

**Get the full Shopee product record - title, description, brand, every spec attribute, every variant and the whole image gallery - from a keyword, a category, a shop or a link, across 9 Shopee countries.**

Building a catalogue from Shopee usually means opening tabs. The search page gives you a name and a picture; everything that makes a product usable - what it is made of, which sizes and colours it actually ships in, which category it sits in, the images you need for your own listing - lives on the product page, one product at a time. This Actor returns all of it as one row per product, ready for a spreadsheet or an import job.

### ✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't

| ✅ What you get | ❌ What this isn't |
|---|---|
| **Description, brand and spec attributes** - material, size, capacity, whatever the category lists (commonly 10-20 per product) | Not a title you have to pick apart with formulas |
| **Every variant** - each colour x size x bundle the listing sells, up to 100 models per product | Not one flattened row with the choices hidden |
| **The full image gallery**, not one thumbnail | Not a single picture per product |
| **The real category path** - `Komputer & Aksesoris > Laptop > Ultrabook` | Not a bare numeric category id |
| **Hundreds of products per keyword**, not the first page and stop | Not a 40-product ceiling |
| **No start fee** - you pay per product returned, nothing to press Start | Not a charge before the first row exists |
| **No account needed** - no login, no cookies, nothing to keep alive | Not a scraper that breaks when a session expires |
| **❌ No price, rating or sold count** - Shopee removed these for logged-out visitors in Sept 2026 (see below) | Not a promise this Actor cannot keep |

### ⚠️ Read this first: there is no price in the output

In September 2026 Shopee moved price, rating and sold count behind a login. A logged-out visitor - human or scraper - no longer receives them on any public Shopee surface, in any of the 9 countries. Opening a product page in a normal browser now redirects to a "Login required" wall.

**This Actor does not scrape price, rating, review count, sold count or stock.** It does not return them as empty columns either; those fields simply do not exist in the output. If price is what you need, this Actor is not the right tool and you should not subscribe to it.

What it does return is everything Shopee still publishes openly: the product's own catalogue data. That is enough for building product databases, mapping SKUs and variants, enriching listings, and category or brand research - but not for price monitoring.

### 👥 Who it's for

- **Resellers and dropshippers** building listings from Shopee source products - description, specs, variants and images in one row.
- **Catalogue and PIM teams** mapping Shopee products into an internal taxonomy.
- **Brand and category analysts** measuring how many products a brand runs in a category, and how deep the variant trees go.
- **Anyone who needs the images** - the gallery comes back as direct CDN URLs.

### 📥 Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | Shopee keywords. Each is paged and re-sorted until it runs out of new products. |
| `startUrls` | Any mix of Shopee product, search, category or shop URLs. The country comes from each URL's own domain. |
| `country` | Which Shopee market keywords are searched on. 9 supported. |
| `maxItemsPerSource` | Products per keyword or URL. `0` means no limit. You are billed per product. |
| `sort` | Sort order to start from; the Actor then cycles the others to widen the result set. |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | **Filter only.** Shopee applies these to the search before we scrape, so they narrow *which* products you get. The prices themselves are not returned. |
| `mallOnly` | Restrict keyword searches to Shopee Mall sellers. |
| `delayMs` | Optional pause between requests. Leave at 0 unless you want to be gentler. |

### 📤 Output

One row per product. Real rows from a `laptop` search on `shopee.co.id`:

| title | brand | categoryPath | variantCount | attributeCount | imageCount | description | sellerLocation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laptop Fujitsu MU937 Celeron 3865U RAM 8GB SSD | Fujitsu | Komputer & Aksesoris > Laptop > Ultrabook | 15 | 14 | 10 | 1,834 chars | KOTA TANGERANG |
| Laptop Lenovo X1 yoga 6TH Core i7 gen 11 Ram 3 | Lenovo | Komputer & Aksesoris > Laptop > 2-in-1 | 100 | 15 | 7 | 1,223 chars | KOTA BANDUNG |
| Lenovo Ideapad D330 81MD 2in1 Detachable Intel | Lenovo | Komputer & Aksesoris > Laptop > 2-in-1 | 1 | 19 | 6 | 686 chars | KOTA JAKARTA PUSAT |

Each row also carries `attributes` (name/value pairs), `variations` (variant tiers and their options), `models` (the individual SKUs), `images` (full CDN URLs), `categories`, `itemId`, `shopId`, `url`, `listedAt`, `isOfficialShop`, `isPreOrder`, `isFreeShipping` and `estimatedShippingDays`.

The **Variants & attributes** dataset view is laid out for SKU and catalogue mapping specifically.

### 💵 How much does it cost?

You pay per product returned, with no start fee. A product Shopee serves no public page for is skipped before it is billed, so you are not charged for blanks.

### ⚠️ Limits and caveats

- **No price, rating or sold count.** See above. This is a Shopee change, not a bug, and no proxy or setting works around it.
- **Seller detail is limited** to the shop id, the shop's stated location and whether it is an official shop. Shopee's shop endpoints are no longer open to logged-out clients, so follower counts and seller ratings are not available.
- **Field depth varies by product.** Attributes range from none to about 20, variants from 1 to 100, and `brand` is often empty because many Shopee sellers never set one. Thin listings produce thin rows.
- **Roughly a quarter of products** have no public crawler page at all. Those are skipped, and the Actor over-fetches candidates so you still receive the number you asked for.
- **Colombia and Chile are gone.** `shopee.com.co` and `shopee.cl` stopped serving product data and are refused with a clear message.
- If Shopee blocks product pages entirely, the run stops after 10 refusals in a row rather than burning your credit, and tells you why.

### ❓ FAQ

**Can you add price back if I pay more?** No. It is not a cost or proxy problem - Shopee requires a logged-in account, and this Actor deliberately does not use one.

**Do I need a Shopee account?** No. Nothing to log in to, nothing to keep alive.

**Which countries work?** Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Brazil, Taiwan and Mexico.

**Can I get every product in a category?** You can get a lot of them. Shopee reshuffles results rather than paging cleanly, so the Actor cycles sort orders to widen coverage, then stops when a page adds nothing new.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Shopee keywords to scrape. Each keyword is paged and re-sorted independently until it runs out of new products, and every row is tagged with the keyword it came from.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Any mix of Shopee product, search, category or shop URLs. The country is taken from each URL's domain, so a shopee.sg link is scraped against Singapore even when the market below says Indonesia.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which Shopee country site keywords are searched on. Prices come back in that market's currency.

## `maxItemsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

How many products to return for each keyword or URL. Set 0 for no limit. You are billed per product, so a large number means a large bill.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort order to start from. Once it stops yielding new products the Actor cycles through the other sort orders, which is how one keyword reaches several hundred products instead of one page.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Lower price bound in the market's own currency. Shopee applies this to the search before we scrape, so it narrows which products you get. Prices themselves are not returned - Shopee no longer publishes them to logged-out visitors. Leave empty for no bound.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Upper price bound in the market's own currency. Shopee applies this to the search before we scrape, so it narrows which products you get. Prices themselves are not returned. Leave empty for no bound.

## `mallOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Restrict keyword searches to Shopee Mall (official brand and retailer stores).

## `delayMs` (type: `integer`):

Optional pause before each request. The Actor already rotates proxy sessions and retries on refusal, so leave this at 0 unless you are running many keywords and want to be gentler.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
