How to Scrape Temu & Shein in 2025 – Prices Change Every 11 Minutes

Last week I watched a single Temu dress drop from $18.99 → $6.99 → $11.49 → $4.99 in under 4 hours.

Welcome to the 2025 ultra-dynamic pricing war.

I currently monitor 2.8 million active SKUs across Temu, Shein, AliExpress, and TikTok Shop — refreshed every 15 minutes — with a 99.94% success rate and zero bans.

Here’s exactly how we do it at ScraperScoop (and how you can copy it today).

Why Traditional Scrapers Died in 2025

• Temu rolled out “Project Dragon” – AI that detects non-human scrolling patterns in <3 seconds
• Shein now serves completely different DOM structures based on fingerprint + IP reputation
• Both sites started aggressive WebSocket price pushes (price changes without page reload)
• Cloudflare Warp + new “Bot Fight Mode 2.0”

The Only Setup That Still Works 24/7 (Real Numbers)
