Shein Search Products Scraper

An Apify Actor that scrapes Shein product search results. Extract product data including prices, images, descriptions, and more from Shein's search pages.

Why Choose Us?

• Robust proxy fallback: Starts with no proxy for speed. If Shein blocks requests, automatically falls back to datacenter proxy, then residential proxy (with 3 retries). Once residential succeeds, sticks with it for all remaining requests.
• Live saving: Results are saved to the dataset as they're scraped, so partial data is preserved if the actor stops.
• Bulk support: Process multiple search queries or URLs in a single run.
• Dynamic headers: Uses Playwright to extract required anti-bot tokens (armortoken, etc.) for reliable API access.
• Detailed logging: Clear proxy events and progress logs to keep you informed.

Q: How many products can I scrape per query?
A: Up to 1000 per query via maxItems. Default is 300.
