SHEIN Scraper: Products, Prices, Discounts and Ratings

SHEIN Scraper turns SHEIN's own curated storefront listings into clean, structured product data. Paste a SHEIN RecommendSelection listing link and get back product names, links, categories, current price, a was-price and discount that are only shown when the item is genuinely marked down, star rating, review count, stock and promotion flags, for the Australian, Singapore and Canadian storefronts. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, pull it through the API, or pipe results into your own apps.

Why This Scraper?

• Genuine was-price and discount. originalPrice, discountPercent and discountAmount are only filled in when a product is actually marked down, never invented from the current price alone.
• Three ways in, with SHEIN's own sorting. Paste RecommendSelection, search or category links (from any SHEIN address, desktop or mobile) or just type keywords; sort order and price range are applied by SHEIN itself, and rating, discount and category filters trim what comes back.
• Three storefronts, one shape. Australia, Singapore and Canada each keep their own catalogue and currency, and every record uses the same fields regardless of storefront. Other storefronts (US, UK and the rest) were re-tried on 2026-10-12 with the same browser session, direct and through a residential exit, and stayed on SHEIN's verification page on 4 of 4 attempts (the Australian control link was served in the same test), so they are not offered; each storefront's currency is fixed by the storefront, so there is no separate country or currency input.
• Ratings, reviews and stock, straight from the listing. No separate step is needed to see how a product is rated or whether it is in stock.
• Resume without repaying. Point resumeFromRunId at an interrupted run and the next run skips everything it already returned.
• Optional delivery to your own apps. Pipe results into Notion, Linear, Airtable or another Apify-connected app as an extra step; the dataset itself is never changed by it.

Use Cases

• Price trackers and deal sites: monitor genuine markdowns across the Australian, Singapore and Canadian storefronts.
• Competitor and marketplace research: compare SHEIN's own pricing, ratings and stock against other retailers you track.
• Assortment and trend analysis: watch which products rotate through SHEIN's curated selections over time.
• Review monitoring: every record carries the listing's current star rating and review count, so comparing two runs' datasets shows how they moved. (If you also turn on Incremental mode, note that a rating/review-count change by itself never produces an UPDATED row there, see "Incremental mode" below, so for pure review-trend tracking, run without incremental suppression, or with emitUnchanged on.)

There is a single record type: one row per product, up to about 120 products per link or keyword (SHEIN's first listing page). The last two rows above only appear once Incremental mode is turned on; see "Incremental mode" below for which of the five change-type values actually occur on this actor's run path.

How to Use

1. Paste one or more SHEIN listing links (RecommendSelection, search results or category pages, see "Supported URL shapes" below), or type keywords into Search keywords, and pick the storefront, or leave Storefront on its default and let it be detected from the first link's own host.
2. Optionally pick a Sort by order and a price range: these are passed to SHEIN itself, so the listing returns e.g. its cheapest products in your range. Minimum rating, Discounted products only and Categories (plain names like dresses, or a category number) then filter what came back.
3. Set Maximum products if you need fewer than everything the links return.
4. Set Resume from run ID to continue an interrupted run without repaying for products it already returned.
5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Scrape a listing on the Australian storefront:

{
  "urls": ["https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Women-Clothing-sc-017172961.html"],
  "storefront": "au",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Singapore storefront, in-stock products only:

{
  "urls": ["https://sg.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Home-Kitchen-sc-017185546.html"],
  "storefront": "sg",
  "includeOutOfStock": false,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Search by keyword, dresses only, cheapest first:

{
  "searchTerms": ["summer dress"],
  "storefront": "au",
  "categories": ["dresses"],
  "sortBy": "price_asc",
  "maxItems": 0
}

Continue an interrupted run:

{
  "urls": ["https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Home-Kitchen-sc-017185546.html"],
  "storefront": "au",
  "resumeFromRunId": "<PASTE_THE_INTERRUPTED_RUN_ID>"
}

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/shein-product-scraper").call(run_input={
    "urls": ["https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Women-Clothing-sc-017172961.html"],
    "storefront": "au",
})
for product in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(product["title"], product["price"], product["currency"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('abotapi/shein-product-scraper').call({
  urls: ['https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Women-Clothing-sc-017172961.html'],
  storefront: 'au',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks from the Integrations tab.

Multiple listing links per run

Paste several links in Listing URLs and every usable one is scraped in the same run, in one browser session, with results deduplicated by product ID across all of them, so the same product showing up on two of your links is only ever returned once. Each product's sourceUrl names the link (or keyword search page) that delivered it first, and searchQuery the keyword. An invalid link (see the shape table below) is skipped with a warning naming it and what it looked like, rather than failing the whole run; only a run where every pasted link is unsupported fails.

Default links (what an empty run does)

If you start the actor without Listing URLs and without Search keywords, it scrapes three example links, one per supported shape, instead of failing: a RecommendSelection listing (https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Women-Clothing-sc-017172961.html), a search page (https://au.shein.com/pdsearch/summer%20dress/) and a category page (https://au.shein.com/Women-Dresses-c-1727.html). With the default Maximum products (20) the first link that is served fills the run, so you are billed for at most 20 products. A run that sets Search keywords and leaves Listing URLs alone scrapes only the keywords, never the examples. The Console form shows the three examples plus a second RecommendSelection example (https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Home-Kitchen-sc-017185546.html); delete the ones you do not want.

Supported URL shapes

Shape	Example	Status
RecommendSelection listing	https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Home-Kitchen-sc-017185546.html, https://au.shein.com/RecommendSelection/Women-Clothing-sc-017172961.html	Supported. SHEIN's own curated listings, also its deepest readable data source. Both examples re-measured 2026-10-12: 10 of 10 products each, unique IDs.
Any storefront host of the above	https://sg.shein.com/..., https://ca.shein.com/...	Supported and verified. The storefront is inferred from the host when Storefront is left on its default.
Mobile / www.shein.com host of any shape above	https://m.shein.com/au/RecommendSelection/..., https://www.shein.com/RecommendSelection/...	Supported. SHEIN picks a storefront for these addresses from the visitor's location (measured 2026-10-06: from an Australian connection, www.shein.com/<path> redirects to au.shein.com/<path> and m.shein.com/<path> to m.shein.com/au/<path>), so the actor opens the same path on the selected storefront's own site instead, and says so in the log. The mobile site's /au/, /sg/ or /ca/ segment picks the storefront when Storefront is left on its default.
Any link with tracking params	...sc-017185546.html?ici=page_RecommendSelection&src_module=1	Supported. The tracking query string rides along; the page is identical. A link copied out of a web page or email with &amp; in it is decoded first.
Category page	https://au.shein.com/Women-Dresses-c-1727.html	Supported since 2026-10-06 (measured: 120-140 products per page; re-measured 2026-10-12: served after the first connection was refused). Only the category's own product feed is read; the "recommended for you" and ranking strips on the same page are left out.
Search page	https://au.shein.com/pdsearch/dress/	Supported since 2026-10-06 (measured: 120 products per page; re-measured 2026-10-12: 120 products when it was a later page, but refused three times in a row when it was the only link, so for keywords-only runs retry if the run reports a connection problem). Typing the words into Search keywords opens the same page.
Product-detail page	https://au.shein.com/some-product-p-12345678-cat-1727.html	Not supported. Measured 2026-10-06: SHEIN answered 6 of 7 product-page visits with its verification page, so product pages (and the reviews, materials and seller details that only live there) are not read; see "Reviews" below. Skipped with a warning.
Daily-new / flash-sale / sale page	https://au.shein.com/daily-new.html	Not supported (not yet verified). Skipped with a warning.
Store page	https://au.shein.com/store/home?store_code=...	Not supported (not yet verified). Skipped with a warning.
Brand page	https://au.shein.com/brand-nike.html	Not supported (not yet verified). Skipped with a warning.
Share / short link	e.g. an a.shein.com redirect link	Not supported (not yet verified). Skipped with a warning.

Every shape goes through the same SHEIN risk check. Measured 2026-10-06, the first page a fresh session opens is the one most often answered with SHEIN's verification page, and search pages were refused every time they were the first page. So when a run does not start on a RecommendSelection link, the actor first opens one in the background (its products are not returned and not billed), and a refused link is retried once at the end of the walk. The run log reports refused=, recovered-on-retry= and per-link product counts. Category pages were the least reliable shape in those measurements (served 3 times out of 6), so for a large or scheduled pull prefer RecommendSelection links and keywords. A run that returns nothing at all fails with a clear message instead of an empty dataset.

If you need one of the "not yet verified" shapes supported, open a ticket; see "Support & custom scrapers" below.

Reviews

This actor does not scrape individual review text or Q&A, only the summary rating, reviewsCount, reviewsCountText and the shopper-reported fit that every listing record already carries (see "Data You Get" above). Full reviews, the material and attribute table, the size chart and the seller profile live only on each product's own page, which this actor does not open. Measured 2026-10-06 in the actor's own browser session: after a listing was read, 1 of 7 product-page visits loaded and the other 6 stayed on SHEIN's verification page, and the next fresh session was refused its listing page as well. Opening product pages would therefore put the listing data itself at risk, so product-page data is not offered until it can be read reliably. Re-measured 2026-10-12 through the same browser session: a product page stayed on the verification page on 2 of 2 attempts (direct and through a residential exit) while the control listing link was served on both, so product-page links, product ID lists and a full-detail mode stay out of scope.

Resume

Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one interrupted run: paste its run ID and the actor skips everything already returned there, so you don't pay twice.

Incremental mode (incrementalMode)

Turn this on to monitor the same listing link on a schedule and get back only what's new or changed, instead of re-billing the whole listing every run. The saved baseline belongs to the exact set of links and keywords plus any filter or SHEIN-side sort you set, so changing one of those starts a separate baseline; changing only Maximum products does not. A run where nothing changed since the last one finishes successfully with no rows and says so in its status message. Each run compares against a saved baseline and classifies every product as NEW, UPDATED (with changedFields naming what moved), UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED or EXPIRED, and saves the result back for next time. Compared: the price, original price (and the discount figures derived from them), the in-stock flag, the title, the product link, the category and the other catalogue details such as brandCode, storeCode, currencyCode, quickShip and videoUrl. Never compared (still returned on every row): rating, review count, sold count, the fit split, the stock count, the USD price, pictures, the flash-sale flag, card labels, promotions and deal timing, the coupon-estimated price, the formatted price strings, and the brand and storeName display names. The incrementalMode input description says the same.

A few fields never trigger a false UPDATED by themselves, because they drift on their own without the product actually changing: the stock count (SHEIN's own counter, capped and bouncing with every sale/restock elsewhere in the catalogue), priceUsd (a live exchange-rate conversion of the local price, which stays tracked), image/images (SHEIN rotates CDN hosts and size variants for the same picture) and isFlashSale (a promotional window that opens and closes many times a day). The same goes for the card labels and promotion windows, the coupon-estimated price, the formatted price strings, the full-size and colour pictures, and the brand and storeName display names (their brandCode and storeCode stay tracked); the full list is under ignoreFieldsForChanges in the parameter table below. They are still returned on every record, only excluded from change detection. Add more field names with Ignore fields when detecting changes (ignoreFieldsForChanges) if another field in your setup turns out to be noisy; it only adds to this built-in list, never removes from it.

rating and reviewsCount are handled the same way but are never configurable: they come from other shoppers' activity, not the product's own catalog data, and move on their own schedule, independent of (and usually faster than) any real price/stock/spec change. A product whose only change since the last run is a new rating or review count is classified UNCHANGED and, with the default emitUnchanged: false, is not returned (or billed) that run. There is no input that re-admits them to change detection. If you need to track rating/review movement run-to-run, read it from every run's full dataset (incremental mode off, or emitUnchanged: true), not from the UPDATED rows.

REAPPEARED and EXPIRED need a run to have read every tracked listing all the way to its own true natural end, with nothing cut short. The actor's default run path walks every pasted link, but it decides each link is "done" using a no-further-growth heuristic (a couple of scroll cycles that add nothing new) and a shared wall-clock budget across the whole walk; neither is a provable complete read, so this path never marks the baseline as a complete scan, and EXPIRED/REAPPEARED will not occur on it. NEW and UPDATED (suppressing UNCHANGED) are what you get in practice. A capped, interrupted or otherwise partial run is never treated as proof that a product is gone, on any path. Use resumeFromRunId instead of incremental mode if you only want to avoid paying twice for products within one run.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape: the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each product, not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where products should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip. A problem with a connector never fails the run or changes the dataset.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	the three example links (one RecommendSelection listing, one search page, one category page)	SHEIN listing links (RecommendSelection, search results or category pages), one per line, read in order. Every usable link is scraped in the same run, deduplicated by product ID; www.shein.com and m.shein.com links are opened on the selected storefront; unsupported shapes (see "Supported URL shapes" above) are skipped with a warning naming each one. Leaving this field out scrapes the three example links instead of failing. The Console form pre-fills those three plus a second RecommendSelection example.
searchTerms	array	(none)	Plain keywords, one per line, each searched on the selected storefront like SHEIN's own search box. Use with or instead of urls; at least one of the two is needed.
storefront	string	au	Which storefront to read: au (AU$), sg (S$) or ca (CA$). Left on the default, it is inferred from the first pasted link's own host (or the mobile site's /au/, /sg/ or /ca/ segment) when that names one of the three supported storefronts; set it explicitly to override. The catalogue and currency come from the link itself either way; this value also decides the product-URL host and the locale used to read the site.
includeOutOfStock	boolean	true	Keep products that are sold out. Turn off to return only what is currently available.
sortBy	string	relevance	relevance, most_popular, new_arrivals, top_rated, price_asc and price_desc are SHEIN's own sort orders, sent with every link and keyword, so the listing returns a different set of products (e.g. its cheapest). rating_desc, reviews_desc and discount_desc have no SHEIN equivalent and only re-order the products returned.
minPrice	number	(none)	Lowest price, in the storefront's currency. Sent to SHEIN's own price filter and checked again on every product, so every published price is in range.
maxPrice	number	(none)	Highest price, in the storefront's currency. Sent to SHEIN's own price filter and checked again on every product.
minRating	number	(none)	1 to 5. Applied after fetching: products below it, or not yet rated, are dropped, so a run can return fewer than maxItems.
onSaleOnly	boolean	false	Keep only products with a genuine was-price. Applied after fetching.
categories	array	(none)	Keep only products in these categories: a plain name or part of one (dresses keeps Women Short Dresses and Women Midi Dresses, case-insensitive) or a SHEIN category number (1727 also keeps its sub-categories). Any line may match. Applied after fetching, so a run can return fewer than maxItems; to read one whole category, paste its category page link instead.
maxItems	integer	20	Upper bound on products requested, across all links and keywords combined. 0 means no limit: every link is read to its own natural end (up to about 120 products per link or keyword).
maxPages	integer	0	Limit on how many pages of the listing are read. Has no effect on the run path this actor currently uses.
enableLegacyBrowserLane	boolean	false	Retired option kept only so saved inputs keep working. It has no effect.
resumeFromRunId	string	(none)	Continue an interrupted run: paste its run ID and products it already returned are skipped.
incrementalMode	boolean	false	Recurring monitoring of the same listing link: remembers what was returned last time and classifies every product as NEW/UPDATED/UNCHANGED/REAPPEARED/EXPIRED, see "Incremental mode" above.
stateKey	string	(none)	Name the saved state used by incremental mode. Leave empty to derive one automatically from the listing link(s).
emitUnchanged	boolean	false	Also return (and bill) products whose details have not changed since the last run.
emitExpired	boolean	false	Also return (and bill) products that were seen before but disappeared from the listing. In practice this does not fire on the actor's default run path, see "Incremental mode" above.
ignoreFieldsForChanges	array	[]	Incremental mode only: extra field names to exclude from change detection, on top of the built-in handling for stock, priceUsd, all image fields, isFlashSale, the card labels (badges, rankLabel, dealEndsAt), promotions, estimatedPrice and the formatted price strings, brand and storeName (their codes stay tracked), plus the shopper-driven rating, reviewsCount, reviewsCountText, soldCountText and fit (see "Incremental mode" above). Use this if another field in your setup turns out to be noisy.
proxy	object	prefill and default: Apify Proxy, residential group	Connection setting. If left on the default (Apify Proxy, residential group, no country) the actor starts on Apify's datacenter pool, which cleared SHEIN's check in testing while Apify residential mostly did not, then tries Apify residential, then its own backup connections. Other Apify Proxy choices (a country pin or other proxy groups) are tried first exactly as entered, then the backup connections. Your own proxy URLs, or no proxy, are used as the only connection, with no backup; if that connection is refused the run fails. A residential-only selection without a country counts as the default.
mcpConnectors	array	(none)	Optional: send a summary of each product to apps you authorized under Integrations.
notionParentPageUrl	string	(none)	Notion connector only: page under which product pages are created. Ignored by other connectors.
maxNotifyListings	integer	50	Cap on products written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

No single field is required. Give urls, searchTerms or both; a run with neither (the field omitted, for example {} from the API) scrapes the three example links in urls (one RecommendSelection listing, one search page, one category page) rather than failing, and the log says so. A call that sets only searchTerms does not get those examples: the example links are dropped again, so you only pay for the keywords you asked for. Clearing urls to an empty list with no keywords still fails with a clear message. Every other row above shows a real schema default, except where marked "(none)".

Dataset views

The Console dataset has two views: Products (id, title, price, was-price, discount, rating, reviews, stock and link, one row per product) and Changes (the incremental-mode columns changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt and lastSeenAt next to the product identity and price). Every run also stores a short run summary under the OUTPUT key of its key-value store.

Plan Requirement

SHEIN's risk check refuses plain HTTP requests on every connection type: tests with ordinary and browser-impersonating HTTP clients through datacenter and residential proxies were all redirected to SHEIN's verification page and never returned a product page. The actor therefore reads pages in a real browser session, which is the only approach that cleared the check in testing. Clearing it also relies on an automatic verification step that runs inside the actor, and the result is not guaranteed on every attempt.

Residential proxies are not required, and a datacenter connection is not ruled out in the browser session: when Connection is left on its default (Apify Proxy, residential group, no country) the actor starts on Apify's datacenter pool, which cleared SHEIN's check in testing while Apify residential mostly did not, then tries Apify residential, then its own backup connections, one after another. Other Apify Proxy choices (a country pin or other proxy groups) are tried first exactly as entered, then the backup connections. Your own proxy URLs, or no proxy, are used as the only connection, with no backup; if that connection is refused the run fails. A residential-only selection without a country counts as the default. Apify free plans do not include residential proxies. When the selected connection is unavailable the log says:

The selected connection is unavailable to this run. Apify free plans do not include residential proxies. Continuing on a backup connection; some pages may still be unavailable. For residential access, upgrade at https://apify.com/pricing or supply your own proxy URLs.

and, once a page is served that way, "Served over the backup connection (the default connection was unavailable)." A run fails with one of three messages: the proxy connection was refused for this account (no page could be read; a paid plan is required, or check your own proxy URL credentials); no results because residential proxies are unavailable and the backup connection could not load the requested pages; or "Could not load any results page (the requests failed)... a connection problem, not an empty search". None of these bills any product. Because SHEIN's check is strict, a run can fail or return fewer pages on a bad attempt; retry in a few minutes.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay per product returned, plus a one-off start fee for the run. There is no separate detail-fetch charge: everything published comes from the listing itself, with no per-product detail step to pay for. Duplicate products within the same run are filtered out before they are billed. At the time of writing, on the Free plan the rate is $0.0022 per product returned plus a start fee of $0.08 per GB of memory (this actor runs with 2 GB, so $0.16 per run); paid plans get lower per-product rates. The Pricing tab always shows the current rates.

Is it legal to scrape SHEIN?

This actor collects only publicly available product data shown on SHEIN's own storefronts. You are responsible for how you use it: follow SHEIN's terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution. Product names and prices are generally facts, but photos and video may be subject to third-party or seller rights.

Can I get only new or changed products on a schedule?

Yes. Turn on Incremental mode and schedule the run: the first run returns everything as NEW, later runs return only NEW and UPDATED products (with changedFields), and unchanged products are neither returned nor billed. A run where nothing changed succeeds with an empty dataset and a status message saying so. See "Incremental mode" above for which fields never count as a change.

Can I paste several listing links in one run?

Yes. Every usable link in Listing URLs is scraped in the same run (see "Multiple listing links per run" above), deduplicated by product ID, up to Maximum products in total. A link in an unsupported shape (product-detail, daily-new, store, etc.) is skipped with a warning naming it, and the rest still run.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

A run fails, with the reason in its status message, in two cases. Either no listing page could be read at all (SHEIN's verification page refused every attempt), or SHEIN did return products but none of them could be returned to you, because none matched your filters (Categories, Minimum rating, Discounted products only, the price range, in-stock only) or every one was already returned by the run you are resuming. The message gives the counts, and no product is billed. An incremental run where nothing changed since the last run is not a failure: it succeeds with an empty dataset. Loosen the filters or paste other links and try again, or retry a refused run in a few minutes.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push results into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
