Overview

The Shopee Open Platform API allows sellers and developers to integrate with Shopee, one of Southeast Asia's largest e-commerce platforms. You can manage product listings, retrieve order data, handle logistics, and more. An API key is required, and you need to register as a Shopee partner to get access.

💡

Beginner Tip

Shopee uses HMAC-SHA256 request signing in addition to your API key — every request must include a correctly computed signature or it will be rejected. Follow the authentication guide closely before writing any code.

Available Data

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

});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

error_auth: Invalid sign The HMAC-SHA256 signature was computed incorrectly or the timestamp is too far from the server time.
✓ Double-check your signature generation logic and ensure your system clock is synchronized. The timestamp must be within 5 minutes of Shopee server time.
error_param: Invalid access_token The access token has expired or was not obtained for the correct shop.
✓ Refresh your access token using the refresh_token endpoint and confirm the shop_id matches the token.
error_permission: No permission to access Your partner account has not been granted the necessary API permissions.
✓ Log in to the Shopee Partner Center and verify that the required permission scopes are enabled for your app.
