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.

Pure HTTP — no browser, no proxy required. Lazada's catalog API returns clean JSON from datacenter IPs at HTTP 200.

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 blocked by Lazada's anti-bot system (x5sec 302 redirect) and are out of scope for this version.

Pricing

Pay-per-event (PPE):

Event	Price	When
apify-actor-start	$0.10	Once per run
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 = $0.10 (start) + $0.99 (products) = $1.09 total. No proxy fees, no browser compute fees.

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. Rate is limited to ~5 concurrent requests with delays. Respect Lazada's terms of service and use this tool responsibly.
