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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Lazada Product Data Scraper Scrape product data from **Lazada** across 6 Southeast Asian countries. Uses Lazada's internal API directly with browser TLS fingerprint impersonation — no headless browser needed, lower cost, higher speed. ### Key Features - **6 Country Sites**: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam - **Keyword Search**: Search any product keyword with pagination (up to 20 pages, ~40 products/page) - **URL Mode**: Paste any Lazada search or category URL directly - **Cross-Country Price Comparison**: Compare prices across all 6 countries in one run - **Advanced Filters**: Sort by relevance/price/rating/newest/best selling, filter by min/max price, min rating - **Structured JSON Output**: Price, rating, sales, seller, brand, location, LazMall status - **Anti-Bot Bypass**: Chrome TLS fingerprint impersonation + x5sec challenge auto-solving - **Lightweight**: No browser needed — direct HTTP API calls, fast and cheap ### How It Works This Actor calls Lazada's AJAX catalog API with a browser-emulated TLS handshake and automatic cookie session management. When Lazada's WAF (x5sec) serves a challenge page, the Actor automatically extracts and follows the punish redirect to obtain a valid session cookie before retrying. - **Faster**: ~3-5 seconds per page vs 30+ seconds with browser automation - **Cheaper**: Lower compute usage = lower cost per run - **More Reliable**: Data comes as clean JSON, no HTML parsing fragility ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | string | yes | `keyword` | Search mode: `keyword` (search by product name) or `url` (paste Lazada URLs) | | `keywords` | string[] | in keyword mode | — | Product keywords to search (e.g. "smartphone", "xiaomi 14") | | `urls` | string[] | in url mode | — | Lazada search/category URLs (e.g. `https://www.lazada.sg/catalog/?q=laptop`) | | `country` | string | | `my` | Country site: `sg`, `my`, `th`, `ph`, `id`, `vn` | | `searchAllCountries` | boolean | | `false` | Search this keyword across ALL 6 countries in one run | | `maxPages` | integer | | `1` | Pages to scrape per country (~40 products/page, max: 20) | | `sortBy` | string | | `relevance` | Sort order: `relevance`, `priceAsc`, `priceDesc`, `ratingDesc`, `newest`, `soldDesc` | | `minPrice` | number | | — | Minimum price in local currency (optional) | | `maxPrice` | number | | — | Maximum price in local currency (optional) | | `minRating` | number | | — | Minimum rating 1.0-5.0 (optional) | | `comparePrices` | boolean | | `false` | Generate a price comparison report (requires `searchAllCountries: true`) | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | | RESIDENTIAL | Proxy settings. **Recommended**: enable Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy (Lazada WAF blocks most cloud IPs). | ### Output #### Product Item Each product is saved as a dataset item: ```json { "type": "product", "keyword": "smartphone", "country": "MY", "currency": "MYR", "title": "Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB", "url": "https://www.lazada.com.my/products/pdp-i1234567890.html", "imageUrl": "https://my-live-01.slatic.net/p/...", "price": 6453.00, "originalPrice": 6699.00, "rating": 4.97, "reviewCount": "483", "sales": 1500, "location": "Selangor", "sellerName": "UR bySwitch", "sellerId": "12345678", "brandName": "Apple", "isLazMall": true } ```` #### Price Comparison Report When `comparePrices` is enabled, an additional price comparison item is pushed: ```json { "type": "price_comparison", "keyword": "iphone 16", "totalProducts": 320, "countries": ["SG", "MY", "TH", "PH", "ID", "VN"], "cheapestCountry": "MY", "cheapestProduct": { "title": "Apple iPhone 16 128GB", "price": 1199, "country": "MY", "url": "https://www.lazada.com.my/products/...", "sellerName": "Official Store" }, "summary": { "SG": { "count": 55, "minPrice": 1299, "maxPrice": 2899, "avgPrice": 1899 }, "MY": { "count": 48, "minPrice": 1199, "maxPrice": 2799, "avgPrice": 1799 } }, "priceRange": { "min": 1199, "max": 2899 } } ``` > **Preview the output format**: Check the dataset tab on the [actor page](https://apify.com/aa5734814/lazada-product-scraper) after a run. ### Cost Estimation This Actor uses **Pay Per Result** pricing. Below are estimated costs for typical runs: | Scenario | Pages | Est. Products | Est. Compute Units | |----------|-------|---------------|-------------------| | Single keyword, 1 country, 1 page | 1 | ~40 | ~0.05 CU | | Single keyword, 1 country, 5 pages | 5 | ~200 | ~0.25 CU | | Single keyword, all 6 countries, 1 page | 6 | ~240 | ~0.30 CU | | 3 keywords, all 6 countries, 3 pages | 54 | ~2,160 | ~2.70 CU | > Actual consumption depends on response times, WAF challenge frequency, and proxy usage. These estimates assume RESIDENTIAL proxy with ~5s per page. Proxy usage incurs additional charges (see [Apify proxy pricing](https://apify.com/pricing)). ### Quick Start #### Apify CLI ```bash npm -g install apify-cli apify call AA5734814~lazada-product-scraper \ --input '{"mode":"keyword","keywords":["smartphone"],"country":"my","maxPages":1}' ``` #### API (Python) ```python import requests response = requests.post( "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/AA5734814~lazada-product-scraper/runs", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"}, json={ "mode": "keyword", "keywords": ["smartphone"], "country": "my", "maxPages": 1 } ) ``` #### API (cURL) ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/AA5734814~lazada-product-scraper/runs" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"mode":"keyword","keywords":["smartphone"],"country":"sg","maxPages":1}' ``` > **Actor ID**: `AA5734814~lazada-product-scraper` ### Use Cases - **Competitor price monitoring** — Track pricing changes across Lazada - **Market research** — Analyze product trends in SEA markets - **Cross-border price arbitrage** — Find cheapest country for any product - **Brand protection** — Monitor authorized vs unauthorized sellers - **Inventory tracking** — Check stock status and seller locations ### Notes - **Lazada WAF**: Lazada uses x5sec WAF that blocks most datacenter IPs. If runs return 0 results, ensure RESIDENTIAL proxy is enabled in the input settings. - **Proxy costs**: RESIDENTIAL proxy usage is billed separately by Apify based on data transferred. See [proxy pricing](https://apify.com/pricing) for details. - **Rate limiting**: The actor uses Lazada's AJAX API (`/catalog/?ajax=true`). Excessive page counts may trigger rate limits. ### Countries Supported | Code | Country | Domain | |------|---------|--------| | `sg` | Singapore | Lazada.sg | | `my` | Malaysia | Lazada.my | | `th` | Thailand | Lazada.co.th | | `ph` | Philippines | Lazada.ph | | `id` | Indonesia | Lazada.co.id | | `vn` | Vietnam | Lazada.vn | ### License MIT # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Search by keyword or directly by Lazada URL ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Product keywords to search (one per line).
