Shopee Search API: Extract Keyword Search and Category Listing Data from Shopee

Keyword Search vs Category Browse

Both request types use the same endpoint and return the same fields. The difference is the URL you pass.

Fields Returned

Every listing in the search or category result set returns the following fields.

Use Cases

Keyword competitive monitoring

Run keyword search requests on a daily or weekly schedule across target queries. The result set shows which sellers are competing, at what prices, and with what sold count momentum. Tracking this over time reveals when new sellers enter a keyword, when competitors drop price, and when a product starts losing search visibility. In fast-moving markets like Vietnam and Indonesia, weekly is the minimum cadence for this to be actionable. This reliable tracking is built on our dedicated Shopee data extraction infrastructure.

Category mapping before market entry

Before launching a product in a new Shopee market, a category browse request returns the full competitive picture: how many sellers are active, what price distribution looks like, who holds the top sold count positions, and how ratings are distributed. This takes minutes to collect and answer the core pre-launch questions without manual research. For extracting comprehensive product page details during this mapping phase, you can also utilize a Shopee PDP scraper.

Sold count trend tracking

Sold count on Shopee is cumulative and publicly visible. Collecting it for competitor products on a weekly schedule reveals which products are gaining or losing purchase momentum. This is particularly useful on shopee.vn and shopee.co.id, where category growth rates are high and new products can gain significant traction within weeks.

Cross-market pricing benchmarks

The same keyword search run across shopee.sg, shopee.com.my, and shopee.co.id for the same product returns the price distribution in each market. For brands managing regional pricing strategy, this shows how prices vary across markets and where competitors are pricing more or less aggressively relative to Singapore's benchmark. To gain an even deeper layer of brand perception alongside these price benchmarks, pulling historical review trends via a Shopee reviews APIis essential.
