Shein Product Scraper — Prices, Variants & Reviews

Scrape Shein products at scale by keyword search, category URL, product URL, or goods ID. Returns clean, structured JSON: title, sale & retail price, discount, color and size variants, SKUs, the full image gallery, rating, description, attributes, and (optionally) customer reviews. Built MCP-ready for AI agents and browser-based via Apify Residential proxies so it gets through Shein's anti-bot.

What you can do with it

• Dropshipping & product research — pull a category or search term and get every product with prices, discounts, and images.
• Repricing & price monitoring — track sale vs. retail price and discount % per goods ID over time.
• Catalog & trend analysis — capture sizes, colors, SKUs, and ratings across a niche.
• Review mining — embed the latest customer reviews (rating, text, size/color bought, fit) into each product record.
• AI agents — call it from Claude/GPT via Apify MCP with a single keyword or URL and get back agent-friendly JSON.

When to use which input

Input	Use it for	Billed as
searchQueries	Keyword discovery (e.g. summer dress)	product (or search-result if scrapeProductDetails=false)
startUrls (search/category)	A specific Shein listing/category page	product (or search-result)
startUrls (product)	One or more exact product pages	product
goodsIds	You already have Shein goods IDs	product

Set scrapeProductDetails=false to return only lightweight listing cards (cheaper, faster) instead of opening every product.

Output

Each product record (one row per product):

Field	Description
goodsId	Shein internal numeric goods_id
title	Product name
brand	Store / brand (SHEIN, ROMWE, marketplace brand)
salePrice / salePriceText	Current price (number + display string)
retailPrice / retailPriceText	Original price (number + display string)
discountPercent	Discount off retail
currency	Storefront currency (e.g. USD)
rating / reviewCount	Average rating (0–5) + number of reviews
inStock	Stock availability
color / colors	Primary color + all available color names
sizes / skus	Size names + SKU variants [{ size, skuCode, price, stock }]
mainImage / images	Primary image + full gallery
category / categoryId / breadcrumbs	Category context
description / attributes	Description + material/style attributes
reviews	Embedded reviews when scrapeReviews=true
productUrl / scrapedAt	Canonical URL + ISO 8601 timestamp

search_result rows (when scrapeProductDetails=false) carry the listing-card subset: goodsId, title, salePrice, discountPercent, mainImage, rating, productUrl.

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Product scraped (full detail)	$0.04
Search result (listing card)	$0.005

A typical run of 20 full products costs about $0.80. Listing-only runs are $0.005/card. Premium-tier quality at a lower price than the entrenched $0.045/product incumbents.

Quick start

API (JavaScript)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/shein-product-scraper').call({
    searchQueries: ['summer dress'],
    country: 'us',
    maxItems: 20,
    scrapeProductDetails: true,
    scrapeReviews: false,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

API (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("khadinakbar/shein-product-scraper").call(run_input={
    "goodsIds": ["100123456", "100654321"],
    "country": "us",
    "scrapeReviews": True,
    "maxReviews": 10,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item["salePrice"], item["currency"])

MCP (AI agents)

The actor is exposed via Apify MCP as apify--shein-product-scraper. Point your MCP client at https://mcp.apify.com?tools=khadinakbar/shein-product-scraper and call it with a keyword, URL, or goods ID.

How it works

Shein protects its product and search pages with a homegrown "armor" risk engine that blocks raw HTTP (including its own BFF JSON API) and challenges datacenter IPs. This actor renders pages in a real Chromium browser through Apify Residential proxies with rotating fingerprints, warms a session on the storefront homepage, and passively captures Shein's own BFF JSON responses (get_goods_detail_static_data, realtime, image) — falling back to JSON-LD, OpenGraph, and DOM extraction. If a session is challenged, it rotates to a fresh residential IP with exponential backoff.

FAQ

Which countries are supported? US, UK, AU, DE, FR, ES, IT, and Global (www.shein.com). The storefront drives currency and the matching residential proxy region.

Why are some runs slower? Shein's armor occasionally challenges the first residential IP; the actor rotates to a fresh one automatically. Lower maxItems for faster test runs.

Do I need cookies or login? No. The actor needs no Shein account — it passes the armor challenge in-browser.

Will it ever return 0 items? If Shein blocks every rotated session, the run finishes SUCCEEDED with a single diagnostic row and a terminal WARNING status (never a silent empty success, never an unexplained failure). Retry, lower maxItems, or switch country.

Can I get individual reviews as separate rows? Reviews are embedded inside each product record (reviews[]) up to maxReviews.
