Southeast Asia marketplaces

ShopAPIS turns Southeast Asia’s dominant marketplaces into one structured product feed. Across Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, a single API returns price in local currency (IDR, THB, VND, PHP, MYR, SGD), variant matrices, flash-sale and voucher data, “sold” counts, shop ratings and seller details from Shopee, Lazada, Tokopedia and TikTok Shop — with no per-market scrapers, proxies or app-reverse-engineering to maintain.

Southeast Asia is the fastest-growing e-commerce region ShopAPIS covers. Platform e-commerce reached $157.6B GMV in 2025 (+23% YoY, Momentum Works), and just four operators control 98.8% of it: Shopee (~50%), Lazada (20%), TikTok Shop + Tokopedia ($45.6B combined). Indonesia alone is 37% of regional GMV (~$57.7B); Thailand and Malaysia were the fastest-growing markets (GMV +51.8% and +47.6%).

Platforms covered

These four platforms cover virtually every transaction in the region. Three of them — Shopee, Lazada and Tokopedia — expose consistent variant/voucher/sold-count schemas through their Open Platforms; TikTok Shop adds the social-commerce and livestream layer that competitors rarely capture.

Coverage at a glance

  • Markets: Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore (plus Taiwan via Shopee).
  • Domains: shopee.co.id / .com.my / .sg / .ph / .vn / .co.th, lazada.co.id / .com.ph / .com.my / .sg / .co.th / .vn, tokopedia.com, the TikTok Shop in-app catalog.
  • Currencies: IDR, THB, VND, PHP, MYR, SGD — returned per product with the original list/strike price.
  • Fields: 40+ per product including price, currency, flash-sale price, vouchers, variant matrix, sold count, shop rating, free-shipping flags, images, category taxonomy and livestream links.

SEA platforms are increasingly app-first and protect listings with rate-limiting and device fingerprinting; TikTok Shop has almost no public web surface. ShopAPIS absorbs that infrastructure so you receive clean JSON instead of maintaining a scraping stack. See the marketplace scraping API pillar.

Common use cases

  • Cross-platform price monitoring — track the same SKU across Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop in one currency-normalized schema. See price monitoring.
  • Competitive intelligence — assortment, shop-rating and sold-count tracking across all six markets. See competitive intelligence.
  • Promotion & voucher tracking — capture flash-sale prices and stacked vouchers that move conversion. Pair with inventory tracking.
  • Catalog enrichment — fill attributes, images and variant data from authoritative SEA listings. See catalog enrichment.
