Lazada Scraper + Price Monitor — SEA Search & Price Alerts

Lazada Scraper + Price Monitor

Scrape Lazada product search results and category pages across all 6 SEA markets. Monitor prices, stock changes, and sold counts with scheduled runs and webhook alerts.

Real browser session through a residential proxy. Lazada's anti-bot system (x5sec) now blocks plain HTTP clients from datacenter IPs, so the Actor opens a real Chromium session through Apify residential proxy (the default proxy configuration), loads the market homepage to pass the anti-bot check, and then reads the catalog JSON from inside that page. Residential proxy is required — Lazada stalls datacenter IPs.

Markets supported

All markets use the same browser method. Only Malaysia has been verified end-to-end so far (10/10 queries, 40 products per page); the other markets use the identical code path with their own domains.

Country	Domain
Malaysia (MY)	www.lazada.com.my
Singapore (SG)	www.lazada.sg
Thailand (TH)	www.lazada.co.th
Indonesia (ID)	www.lazada.co.id
Philippines (PH)	www.lazada.com.ph
Vietnam (VN)	www.lazada.vn

What it scrapes

Search mode: Keyword search results (/catalog/?q=iphone&ajax=true) — up to 40 products/page, paginated to your limit.

Category mode: Category browse pages (/shop-mobiles/?ajax=true) — same JSON shape, same pagination.

Scope — v1: Search and category listing data only. Product detail pages, reviews and seller storefronts are out of scope for this version.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
country	enum	my	Market: my, sg, th, id, ph, vn
mode	enum	search	search (use queries) or category (use categoryUrls)
queries	string[]	—	Search keywords. Required for mode=search.
categoryUrls	string[]	—	Category browse URLs. Required for mode=category.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	1000	Max products per keyword/URL. Hard cap: 5000.
sort	enum	popularity	popularity, priceasc, pricedesc
minPrice	integer	—	Optional client-side price floor (local currency).
maxPrice	integer	—	Optional client-side price ceiling (local currency).
monitor	boolean	false	Enable price monitor mode.
monitorWatchList	array	[]	[{"itemId":"123","targetPrice":99}] or [{"itemUrl":"//..."}]. Leave empty to watch all scraped items.
webhookUrl	string	—	POST alerts JSON here when changes are detected.
proxyConfiguration	object	{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }	Apify Proxy settings (useApifyProxy, apifyProxyGroups, apifyProxyCountry). Residential is required — Lazada blocks datacenter IPs. The proxy country follows the selected market unless you set apifyProxyCountry.

Limits: queries and categoryUrls accept at most 20 entries each (extra entries are dropped), and maxResultsPerQuery is capped at 5000.

Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE):

Event	Price	When
apify-actor-start	$0.005	Once per run (512 MB default memory = one start event)
products-scraped	$0.00099 per product	Every product row delivered
product-checked	$0.003 per item	Monitor mode only, per item checked
alert-created	$0.01 per alert	Monitor mode only, when a change is detected

Example cost: 1,000 products scraped = $0.005 (start) + $0.99 (products) = $0.995 in event fees.

Platform usage is billed separately to your Apify account on top of the event prices: browser compute for the run plus residential proxy traffic. Estimate: roughly $0.10–0.20 of platform usage per 1,000 products (25 result pages; residential proxy + browser compute). Measured on Malaysia — it varies with market, run length and proxy pricing.

How this compares

A real Chromium session through residential proxy passes Lazada's x5sec anti-bot check, and one actor covers all six SEA markets plus a price monitor with scheduled runs and webhook alerts. At $0.99 per 1,000 products it is below fatihtahta/lazada-scraper ($3.99), lergassy/lazada-scraper ($2.00), herus13/lazada-scraper ($5.00) and abotapi/lazada-scraper ($2.50). zen-studio/lazada-product-scraper lists $0.80 per 1,000 product rows; check its listing for what each row and any detail event contains. Monitor mode is priced separately at $0.003 per item checked and $0.01 per alert created.

Actor	Price per 1,000 products	Platform usage
subimpact/lazada-scraper	$0.99	paid by you
fatihtahta/lazada-scraper	$3.99	see listing
lergassy/lazada-scraper	$2.00	see listing
herus13/lazada-scraper	$5.00	see listing
zen-studio/lazada-product-scraper	$0.80	see listing

Prices are Apify Store list prices on the Free plan, checked 24 October 2026. Competitor prices can change; check their listings.

Price monitor

Schedule this Actor to run on a recurring interval. On each run:

1. Products are scraped fresh from your queries.
2. Each item is compared to the snapshot saved from the previous run (stored in Apify KV store).
3. Changes in price, stock status, or sold count generate alert objects.
4. First run = baseline only (no alerts).
5. Alerts are pushed to the alerts dataset and optionally POSTed to your webhookUrl.

Removal detection: Items that disappear from results are flagged as removed — but only when the current run returned healthy full pages (guard against false positives from pagination glitches).

Ethics and legal note

This Actor scrapes Lazada's public product listings — the same data visible to any visitor without logging in. No credentials are used. No personal data is collected. Result pages are fetched one at a time from a single browser session with a delay between requests. Respect Lazada's terms of service and use this tool responsibly.
