Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Shopee Product Search Crawler Extract product listings from [Shopee Brazil](https://shopee.com.br) by keyword or search URL. Returns structured data including prices, ratings, seller info, and image URLs — ready to use in price trackers, market research tools, and e-commerce analytics. ### What it does - Searches Shopee by keyword or full search URL - Returns up to 500 products per run with automatic pagination - Extracts clean, structured data directly from Shopee's internal API (no fragile HTML parsing) - Results sorted by relevancy ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `keyword` | String | ✅ | Search keyword (e.g. `iphone 15`) or full Shopee search URL | | `maxItems` | Number | | Max products to return. Default: `40`, max: `500` | | `cookieHeader` | String | | Your Shopee session cookies (see below) | #### Keyword or URL Both formats are accepted: ```` iphone 15 pro ``` ``` https://shopee.com.br/search?keyword=iphone+15+pro ```` Passing a full URL is useful when you've applied filters on Shopee (category, price range, shipping, etc.) and want to replicate that exact search. #### Session cookies Shopee requires an authenticated session to return full search results. To get your cookies: Copy the `Cookie` header value directly from Chrome DevTools (Network tab → any Shopee request → Headers → Cookie) and paste it as a plain string. Cookies expire approximately every 30 days. The actor returns an error if the session is expired. ### Output Each item in the dataset: ```json { "itemId": "10000000001", "shopId": "20000000001", "name": "Product Name Example - 128GB Blue", "price": 20990, "priceMax": null, "currency": "BRL", "stock": 142, "sold": 3800, "rating": 4.8, "ratingCount": 256, "shopName": "Example Store BR", "brand": "ExampleBrand", "location": "São Paulo", "images": [ "https://cf.shopee.com.br/file/example-image-hash-1", "https://cf.shopee.com.br/file/example-image-hash-2" ], "url": "https://shopee.com.br/product-name-example-i.20000000001.10000000001" } ```` > **Note on prices:** Prices are in centavos (BRL cents). Divide by `100` to get the display value in reais (e.g. `20990` → R$ 209.90). ### Why the 500 item limit? The crawler is capped at 500 results per run. Beyond that, Shopee's relevancy ranking degrades significantly — results become loosely related to the keyword or outright unrelated. The first 100–200 results are where the most relevant, highest-quality listings are found. Fetching beyond 500 adds runtime and cost with little practical value. ### Example use cases - **Price monitoring** — track price changes for specific products over time - **Market research** — analyze which products dominate a category - **Competitor analysis** — monitor seller listings and pricing strategies - **Inventory tracking** — check stock availability across sellers ### Limitations - Requires valid Shopee session cookies (refreshed every ~30 days) - Shopee may apply bot detection — residential proxy is recommended for high-volume use - Results are for Shopee Brazil (`shopee.com.br`) only # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Search keyword (e.g. 'iphone 15') or full Shopee search URL. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `cookieHeader` (type: `string`): Your Shopee session cookies. Export from browser DevTools (Network tab → any request → Cookie header) or using EditThisCookie extension.
