Lazada Group (Lazada) is an international e-commerce company founded by Maximilian Bittner, Mads Faurholt, Stefan Bruun, and Raphael Strauch with the backing of Rocket Internet in 2012, and owned by Alibaba Group. In 2014, Lazada Group operated sites in multiple countries and had raised approximately US$647 million over several investment rounds from its investors such as Tesco, Temasek Holdings, Summit Partners, JPMorgan Chase, Investment AB Kinnevik and Rocket Internet.

Its sites launched in March 2012, with a business model of selling inventory to customers from its own warehouses. In 2013 it added a marketplace model that allowed third-party retailers to sell their products through Lazada's site; the marketplace accounted for 65% of its sales by the end of 2014.

In September 2019, Lazada claimed it was the top e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia with more than 50 million active buyers annually.

Our Lazada crawler is built to scrape product listings data and product detail data from lazada's multiple sites with weekly or customized frequency. 

You may find it difficult to scrape the lazada product data due to persistent roadblocks like captchas or bot detections. Some people might choose to scrpae the data with webdrivers such as selenium/puppeteer/playwright etc. But as we have pointed out many times, using headless or non-headless browsers can cause 10-100 times more web traffic generated to the website, and also the headless or non-headless browser eats a lot of cpu and memory of your computer, which will significantly bring down the data extraction performance . 

At barkingdata, we know exactly what needs to be done to greatly improve this workflow. We provide the best service to avoid getting blocked, or proxy failures while trying to crawl lazada product data. And most importantly, compared to the headless/non-headless browsers approach , our crawlers save 50-90% web traffic and at the same of course, automatically saving you more cost!
