Shein Product Scraper

What does Shein Product Scraper do?

Shein Product Scraper extracts detailed product data from Shein.com, the world's largest fast-fashion e-commerce platform. It supports three scraping modes: keyword search, category page scraping, and direct product URL extraction. For each product, the actor collects comprehensive fashion-specific data including pricing, size charts with body measurements, color variants with stock status, fabric composition, style attributes (neckline, sleeve, fit, pattern, occasion), customer reviews with photos, size feedback, and body type information.

The scraper handles Shein's Akamai Bot Manager anti-bot protection using Playwright with stealth configuration, rotating residential proxies, jittered request delays, and session persistence. It supports multi-region scraping across Shein's country-specific catalogs (US, UK, DE, FR, AU, and more) with automatic domain routing. Results are delivered as structured JSON ready for analysis, price monitoring, trend research, or integration into fashion analytics pipelines.

Features

• Three scraping modes — search by keyword, scrape category pages, or extract specific product URLs
• Fashion-specific data — sizes, colors, size charts with body measurements, fabric details (material, care, stretch, thickness, sheerness), and style attributes (neckline, sleeve, fit, pattern, occasion)
• Customer reviews — extract reviews with customer photos, size feedback, height, weight, body type, and helpfulness count
• Multi-region support — scrape from 15+ country-specific Shein catalogs (US, UK, DE, FR, AU, CA, etc.)
• Color and size variants — full variant data with stock status for each combination
• Sort and filter — sort by relevance, price, newest, rating, or popularity; filter by price range and size
• Anti-bot handling — Playwright stealth mode, residential proxies, jittered 2-5s delays, session persistence for Akamai bypass
• Pay-per-result pricing — only pay for products successfully scraped ($32.00 per 1,000 products)

Proxy Requirements

This actor requires residential proxies because Shein uses Akamai Bot Manager which blocks datacenter IP addresses.

• Paid Apify plan users ($49+/month): Works automatically with the default residential proxy configuration. No setup needed.
• Free plan users: Provide your own residential proxy URL in the Proxy Configuration input field. The actor will not work with datacenter proxies.
• Without a residential proxy, the actor detects consecutive blocks and exits with a clear error message explaining how to resolve the issue.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape Shein?

The actor uses pay-per-result pricing at $32.00 per 1,000 products. A typical run of 100 products costs about $3.20. You only pay for successfully extracted products — blocked requests, 404s, and errors are not charged.

Can I get Shein size chart data?

Yes. Set includeSizeChart to true and the actor extracts the full size chart with body measurements in centimeters or inches, including bust, waist, hip, and length for each size. Products without a size chart return sizeChart: null.

Does it work with different countries?

Yes. Set the country field to any ISO country code (US, GB, DE, FR, AU, CA, etc.) and the actor automatically routes to the correct Shein regional domain. Different countries may show different product catalogs, prices, and currencies.

Can I filter by size or color?

You can filter by size using the sizeFilter parameter — provide an array of sizes like ["S", "M", "L"] and only products available in those sizes will be returned. Color filtering is not directly supported but all color variants are included in the output for post-processing.

Is scraping Shein legal?

This actor only accesses publicly available product data that does not require login. No personal information is collected — reviewer names are pseudonymized by Shein. Product images are Shein's intellectual property and users are responsible for their own compliance with applicable laws and Shein's terms of service.
