Lazada API

Shopping / API Key Intermediate HTTPS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

The Lazada Open Platform API lets sellers and developers access Lazada's Southeast Asian marketplace to retrieve product data, manage orders, track seller performance metrics, and handle logistics. It requires an app key and uses HMAC signature-based authentication for secure requests. It is widely used by sellers and third-party developers building e-commerce tools for markets across Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian countries.

💡

Beginner Tip

Lazada uses a custom HMAC-SHA256 signature scheme in addition to your app key, so each request needs a computed signature. Use the official Lazada SDK for your language, as it handles signature generation automatically and saves a lot of debugging time.

Available Data

Lazada data via REST API
JSON-formatted response data
Requires API key authentication

JSON Response
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {

    "description": "Retrieve product ratings and seller performance metrics",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

data.seller_id Unique identifier for the seller account on the Lazada platform
data.name Display name of the seller shop on Lazada
data.rating Seller performance rating score assigned by Lazada
request_id Unique identifier for the API request, useful for debugging with Lazada support

Implementation Example

const url = "https://open.lazada.com/doc/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Invalid signature error The HMAC-SHA256 signature was computed incorrectly or the timestamp is too old
Use the official Lazada SDK to handle signature generation; ensure your system clock is synchronized and the timestamp is within 5 minutes of current UTC
40001 Invalid app_key The app key used in the request is not recognized or is inactive
Log in to the Lazada Open Platform portal and verify your app key is active and the app has been approved
50002 Service unavailable for region The API endpoint region does not match the seller registered market
Use the correct regional endpoint: api.lazada.com.my for Malaysia, api.lazada.co.th for Thailand, or api.lazada.com for Singapore
