Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Kijiji.ca Scraper Extract classified listings from Kijiji.ca across every category: property, vehicles, jobs, furniture, electronics, services, and more. Search by keyword and location, or paste any Kijiji URL. Each record carries the title, full description, price, every photo, GPS coordinates, seller details, and the category-specific attributes Kijiji shows on the listing. Fast and inexpensive at scale. ### Why this scraper - Covers all of Kijiji.ca, not just one vertical. The extractor adapts to property, vehicles, and general classifieds automatically. - Rich records out of the box: 30+ fields from the search page alone, including full description, all image URLs, and GPS coordinates. - Optional detail enrichment adds view counts, seller phone and website, listing status, virtual tour or video, and dealer profile. - Two ways in: keyword + location search (any Canadian city, region, or province), or paste Kijiji URLs directly. - Price and sort filters, with forward pagination across as many pages as you want. - Resilient connection handling: rotates to a fresh exit IP on rejection and fails over to a backup gateway. ### Data you get > Sample shape, values are illustrative placeholders, not from a live listing. | Field | Example | | --- | --- | | id | "0000000000" | | listingType | "AutosListing" | | title | "Sample listing title" | | description | "Full listing description appears here." | | url | "https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/city-of-toronto/sample/0000000000" | | price | 12500.0 | | priceRaw | 1250000 | | priceType | "FIXED" | | currency | "CAD" | | categoryId | 174 | | locationName | "Toronto" | | address | "100 Sample Street, Toronto, ON, M0M 0M0" | | latitude | 43.6500 | | longitude | -79.4000 | | nearestIntersection | ["Sample Road", "Example Avenue"] | | imageUrls | ["https://media.kijiji.ca/api/v1/.../image?rule=kijijica-200-jpg"] | | imageCount | 10 | | posterId | "0000000000" | | sellerType | "KMB" | | posterRating | 4.5 | | posterVerified | false | | activationDate | "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" | | sortingDate | "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" | | isTopAd | false | | attr_carmake | "ford" | | attr_noofseats | "4" | | views | 1140 | | phoneNumber | "+15550000000" | | sellerWebsiteUrl | "https://example.com" | Category-specific facts arrive as `attr_*` keys (for example `attr_carmake`, `attr_numberbedrooms`, `attr_dateavailable`) plus the full raw list in `attributesRaw`, so no field is ever dropped. ### How to use Search a single keyword in one city: ```json { "mode": "search", "keywords": ["iphone"], "location": "city-of-toronto", "maxListings": 50 } ```` Search with price filter and newest-first sort: ```json { "mode": "search", "keywords": ["sofa"], "location": "vancouver", "minPrice": 100, "maxPrice": 500, "sortBy": "dateDesc", "maxPages": 5 } ``` Browse every listing in a location (no keyword): ```json { "mode": "search", "keywords": [], "location": "calgary", "fetchDetails": true, "maxListings": 100 } ``` Paste Kijiji URLs directly (multiple supported): ```json { "mode": "url", "urls": [ "https://www.kijiji.ca/b-cars-trucks/city-of-toronto/c174l1700273", "https://www.kijiji.ca/b-apartments-condos/vancouver/c37l1700287" ], "maxPages": 3 } ``` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | mode | string | "search" | "search" for keyword + location, "url" to paste links. | | keywords | array | \["iphone"] | Search terms (search mode). Each runs as its own all-category search. Empty browses everything in the location. | | location | string | "canada" | City, region, or province name, a Kijiji slug, or a numeric id. Resolved against the live Kijiji location list. | | sortBy | string | "relevance" | "relevance", "dateDesc", "priceAsc", or "priceDesc". | | minPrice | integer | (none) | Minimum price in Canadian dollars. | | maxPrice | integer | (none) | Maximum price in Canadian dollars. | | urls | array | (example) | Kijiji search or listing URLs (URL mode). | | fetchDetails | boolean | true | Open each listing page for view count, seller phone and website, status, and more. | | maxPages | integer | 5 | Maximum result pages per search or URL (40 listings per page). | | maxListings | integer | 50 | Maximum listings for the whole run. 0 means unlimited. | | proxy | object | Residential CA | Proxy configuration. Residential with country CA is strongly recommended. | ### Output example > Sample shape, values are illustrative placeholders, not from a live listing. ```json { "id": "0000000000", "listingType": "AutosListing", "title": "Sample listing title", "description": "Full listing description appears here.", "url": "https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/city-of-toronto/sample/0000000000", "price": 12500.0, "priceRaw": 1250000, "priceType": "FIXED", "currency": "CAD", "categoryId": 174, "locationName": "Toronto", "address": "100 Sample Street, Toronto, ON, M0M 0M0", "latitude": 43.6500, "longitude": -79.4000, "imageUrls": ["https://media.kijiji.ca/api/v1/sample/image?rule=kijijica-200-jpg"], "imageCount": 10, "posterId": "0000000000", "sellerType": "KMB", "posterRating": 4.5, "posterVerified": false, "activationDate": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", "attr_carmake": "ford", "attr_noofseats": "4", "views": 1140, "phoneNumber": "+15550000000", "sellerWebsiteUrl": "https://example.com" } ``` ### Plan requirement Kijiji.ca accepts Canadian residential connections most reliably. The default proxy is Apify Residential with country CA, which requires an Apify Starter plan or higher. On the free plan, set the `BACKUP_PROXY_URL` environment variable to a Canadian residential gateway, or expect reduced results. Datacenter exits are frequently rejected by the site and are not recommended. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Search by keyword + location, or paste Kijiji URLs directly. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Search terms (Search mode). Each term runs as a separate all-category search. Leave empty to browse every listing in the location. ## `location` (type: `string`): City, region, or province name (e.g. 'Toronto', 'Vancouver', 'Ontario'), a Kijiji location slug ('city-of-toronto'), or a numeric location id. Defaults to all of Canada. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Result ordering. Note: Kijiji inserts a few promoted ads at the top regardless of sort. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Minimum price filter in Canadian dollars. Leave empty for no minimum. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Maximum price filter in Canadian dollars. Leave empty for no maximum. ## `urls` (type: `array`): Kijiji search or listing URLs (URL mode). Multiple supported. Pagination walks forward from the page in each URL. Search-mode filter fields are ignored here. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open each listing's detail page for view count, seller phone + website, listing status, virtual tour / video, and dealer profile. Slower but much richer. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum result pages to walk per search/URL (40 listings per page). ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum listings to collect across the whole run. Default 0 means unlimited (collect every available listing, bounded by Max pages). ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Kijiji.ca works most reliably on Apify Residential proxy with country = CA. Datacenter exits are frequently rejected. On failure the actor rotates to a fresh exit IP and can fail over to a backup gateway. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "keywords": [ "iphone" ], "location": "city-of-toronto", "sortBy": "relevance", "urls": [ "https://www.kijiji.ca/b-apartments-condos/city-of-toronto/c37l1700273" ], "fetchDetails": true, "maxPages": 1, "maxListings": 0, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "CA" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `listings` (type: `string`): Individual listing records with price, location hierarchy, GPS coordinates, all image URLs, seller info, and category-specific attributes. ## `output` (type: `string`): Run summary with totals, pages fetched, details fetched, and duration. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
