SOAX introduces affordable Shopee Scraper API for retailers

SOAX has announced the launch of a new Shopee Scraper API focused on extracting data from Shopee, a key ecommerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan.

Shopee, an ecommerce site operating in regions like Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of South America, including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile, is utilised by businesses looking to access detailed product, review, and pricing data. Real-time access to this information is crucial for competitiveness in dynamic ecommerce markets.

Web data scraping is highlighted as a potent method for monitoring competitor activities and checking compliance with minimum advertised prices. Businesses also extract and analyse reviews from the platform to derive insights for product improvement.

In initial assessments, the SOAX Shopee Scraper API has shown superior performance to other web scraping solutions at a significantly lower cost—as much as three to six times cheaper—than alternatives. By accessing the Shopee API directly, the service gathers a fuller spectrum of data instead of merely what's visible on web pages, offering a more comprehensive data set.

SOAX leverages its adaptive AI technology, which includes continuous fingerprint generation, self-healing proxies, and tailor-made browser builds to circumvent site restrictions and maintain high performance. The scraping tool's scalability is ensured through SOAX's vast network comprising 191 million proxy servers, enabling millions of daily requests to be handled efficiently.

Costs for utilising the Shopee Scraper API begin at USD $1 per thousand requests, a notable saving compared to USD $3 charged by nearest competitors. Anton Rachitskiy, Vice President of Data Products for SOAX, said, "Access to accurate Shopee data is essential for any e-tailer to stay competitive. We are delighted to be able to add a Shopee to Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, and our other ecommerce scraper APIs. Our customers are already benefiting from SOAX's superior speed and accuracy in web data gathering and our highly reliable proxy network boasting 99.9% uptime."

Shopee is the latest of over 50 scraper APIs that SOAX offers, which cover a range of platforms, including ecommerce, search engines, and social networks. Additionally, SOAX provides web unblockers to navigate advanced anti-bot systems and various proxies, including residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter solutions.

SOAX markets its services directly to corporate customers, utilising a subscription-based model. Through its self-service platform, customers can select and commence a plan immediately. SOAX offers custom plans with white-glove support for larger enterprises requiring tailored solutions. The company's API-driven services allow seamless integration into pre-existing workflows, featuring flexible pricing tiers that adapt to different usage demands, location needs, and feature requests.
