## 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 & Lazada SEA Product, Price & Velocity API

Extract Southeast Asia e-commerce product listings, **multi-currency USD-normalized pricing**, **discount percentages**, **seller ratings**, **30-day sales velocity**, and **estimated 30-day GMV/revenue** across **Singapore (`SG`), Malaysia (`MY`), Indonesia (`ID`), Thailand (`TH`), Philippines (`PH`), and Vietnam (`VN`)** without headless browser timeouts.

Built for **brand protection teams**, **CPG market intelligence**, **n8n**, **Make.com**, and **AI Agents (MCP)** with **guaranteed structured JSON output** and **Pay-Per-Result ($0 on Empty)** billing.

***

### Why Use This SEA E-Commerce API Instead of Browser Scrapers?

| Feature | Legacy Shopee/Lazada Browser Scrapers | `coherent_edelweiss/shopee-lazada-sea-ecommerce-api` |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Marketplace Coverage** | Single-country browser scrapers | **All 6 Southeast Asia regions (`SG`, `MY`, `ID`, `TH`, `PH`, `VN`) in one API** |
| **Multi-Currency Normalization** | Dumps raw `IDR`, `VND`, `THB`, `MYR`, `PHP`, `SGD` strings | **Automatic real-time `price_usd` & `estimated_30d_revenue_usd` normalization** |
| **Reliability & Speed** | Frequent Playwright CAPTCHA timeouts | **4–6 second structured JSON extraction** |
| **Pricing Model** | $30–$45/mo rental | **Pay-Per-Event ($0.002–$0.007/SKU)** — **$0 on empty results** |
| **Merchandising AI** | Raw product dump | **Built-in `ai_merchandising_insight`** for competitive price positioning |

***

### Transparent Pay-Per-Event Pricing (Zero-Charge on Empty)

- **`result-scraped` ($0.002):** Charged only when a valid product listing with price and seller data is extracted.
- **`verified-contact-enriched` ($0.003):** Charged only when normalized USD pricing, stock status, and 30-day sales velocity metrics are attached.
- **`ai-structured-summary` ($0.002):** Charged only when `includeMerchandisingInsight: true` generates a competitive merchandising brief.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
