How it works

Shopee protects its API with aggressive anti-bot (TLS/JA3 fingerprinting + signed request headers), so plain HTTP clients are rejected outright. This actor drives real Chromium (Playwright), warms a session on the marketplace homepage, then navigates search and product pages while capturing the JSON responses fired by Shopee's own frontend — correctly signed by Shopee's own JavaScript. On an anti-bot wall the actor automatically relaunches the browser with a fresh proxy session (up to 3 relaunches per step).

Proxy advice

A proxy is effectively required. Shopee blocks datacenter IPs and flags heavily-used shared proxy pools.

• Best: apifyProxyGroups: ["UNBLOCKER"] — Apify's anti-bot-solving proxy; in our platform tests it was the only option that loaded search pages without a verification wall.
• Also try: RESIDENTIAL with apifyProxyCountry set to the marketplace country (e.g. SG).
• Shared residential pools are sometimes pre-flagged by Shopee; if a run returns 0 products or a 90309999 error, switch groups or use dedicated/ISP proxies via proxyConfiguration.proxyUrls.

Honest status: the full pipeline (search → details → reviews → schema) is end-to-end tested; live extraction depends on proxy quality, and Shopee's anti-bot is one of the toughest in e-commerce. Runs that get blocked fail loudly with a clear error instead of silently returning partial data.

Notes

• Prices returned by Shopee's API are scaled internally; this actor normalizes them to real units (e.g. 15.90 SGD).
• Review comments are returned in the buyer's original language.
• The actor runs a real browser — use at least 2 GB memory per run.
