Kijiji Scraper: Listings, Cars, Rentals & Prices

Kijiji Scraper: Listings, Cars, Rentals & Prices

Kijiji Scraper reads Kijiji (kijiji.ca), Canada's classifieds site, and gives you one row per listing: title, price, category, place, postal area, map point, posted date, photo links, every attribute (car make, model, year, kilometres and VIN; rental bedrooms, bathrooms and unit type), the seller type and the view count. Search by keyword, category and Canadian city, postal code or map point, paste Kijiji search links, or give listing links, in any order Kijiji offers (newest, oldest, price low or high, relevance, nearest, kilometres). Labels in English or French. No login, no cookies, no browser.

Turn on listing details to add the full description, the status and end date, large photos and the seller's public profile (listing count, member since, and a business's name and website), and for rentals the neighbourhood's walk, transit and cycle scores. For cars, add Kijiji's mileage analysis and price insight, and its vehicle history badges; for any listing, add Kijiji's own similar listings. Name a monitor and schedule the Actor: each run delivers and bills only listings it has not delivered before.

Details are read with Kijiji's own listing query in a way that adds no view to the seller's ad. When a seller's profile cannot be read, the row still carries the listing's own record and is billed its Listing detail; the seller fields stay empty, apart from the website the listing's record carries (a business's, or with includePrivateSellerDetails on any seller's).

Add-ons (each off by default, each its own event, charged only when Kijiji had the data)

Add-on	Fields	Billed
includeMileageAnalysis (Cars & Trucks)	mileageUsage (LOW, AVERAGE, HIGH) and mileageUsageLabel ("Low km" ...), mileageTypicalKm (Kijiji's low, average and high km for the car's age), kmPerYear (Kijiji's rule: the km divided by the age from 1 January of the model year), marketAveragePrice (the average market price Kijiji shows, provided to Kijiji by CARFAX Canada), priceVsMarketPercent, priceRating	a Mileage analysis per car Kijiji has an analysis or a market price for (28 of 30 cars in our probe)

includeSimilarListings, similarListingsPerListing (any category)	similarListings (each: listingId, title, price, priceType, categoryId, category, locationId, locationName, imageUrl, url) and similarListingsCount	a Similar listing set per row with at least one

Rows outside Cars & Trucks carry the car fields empty and are not billed for them. Similar listings come from other sellers whose kind is not known: unless includePrivateSellerDetails is on, their titles get the private seller masks and their links are by id alone.

Coverage row (one per search)

listingsOnKijiji (Kijiji's total), reachableBySearch and beyondSearchCap (Kijiji serves at most 4,040 listings of one search), pagesRead, listingsSeen, listingsDelivered, alreadyDelivered, knownToMonitor, filteredOut, topAdsSkipped, externalAdsSkipped (job ads Kijiji shows from another site), removedOrGone, detailsFailed, priceBands, listingsWithoutPriceNotInBands (a split search's listings with no price figure), morePagesOffered, newListingsMayLieBeyond (a monitor), complete and stoppedBy.

Free status rows

A place or category Kijiji does not know or several share (with the candidates), a filter Kijiji does not offer for the category (with the filters it offers), a search Kijiji did not apply as sent, a removed listing (removed, Kijiji keeps its record with status DELETED), an unknown listing id (not_found), a page that could not be read, and the reason a run stopped.

How much does it cost to scrape Kijiji?

You pay per listing row delivered, plus a small start fee per run. Platform usage is included.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Listing (per 1,000)	$0.53	$0.49	$0.44	$0.38
Listing detail (per 1,000: with details on, and for every listing link)	$0.35	$0.33	$0.31	$0.30
Mileage analysis (per 1,000 cars, only with includeMileageAnalysis)	$0.35	$0.30	$0.25	$0.20
Vehicle history (per 1,000 cars with a badge, only with includeVehicleHistory)	$1.50	$1.40	$1.30	$1.20
Similar listing set (per 1,000 rows, only with includeSimilarListings)	$0.40	$0.35	$0.30	$0.25
Results page (per 1,000 pages of up to 40 listings, monitor runs only)	$0.15	$0.15	$0.15	$0.15
Actor start (per run)	$0.007	$0.007	$0.007	$0.007

Platinum and Diamond plans pay the Gold price. The Store pricing card shows these same prices per 1,000 events: "$0.38 / 1,000" on the Listing row means one listing costs $0.00038. The Actor start event is charged once per run and has no plan discount.

• 1,000 listings cost $0.53 on Free and $0.38 on Gold, plus $0.007 for the run; with details, $0.88 on Free and $0.68 on Gold. A listing link is always read with its details, so 1,000 listing links cost the with details price.
• A monitor run also pays $0.00015 per results page it reads (its window), whatever the page held: a monitor over 3 searches with 2 pages each pays $0.0009 a run for its pages, plus its new listings and the start fee. Runs without a monitor never pay it.
• What is never billed: listings left out by your filters, a listing found twice in one run, listings a monitor already delivered, removed listings, unknown ids, places or categories Kijiji does not know, searches Kijiji did not apply as sent, coverage, status and summary rows.
• Limits: set Maximum listings and, in the run options, a maximum charge for the run: the Actor stops delivering before it would pass either. A run may also send at most 30 requests that deliver nothing billable (searches with no match, pages whose listings your filters leave out, removed listings, place and link lookups), plus 2 for every listing and every listing detail it delivers, and spend at most 55 seconds on them, plus 5 seconds for every listing and 4 for every listing detail it delivers (a request Kijiji answers slowly or not at all spends its time); a long list of searches that mostly find nothing stops early with a free row that says so, so split such a list over several runs.

Input

Setting	What it does
keywords	search words; each one is searched in every category and place given
locations	Kijiji locations by name (City of Toronto, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Ontario, ON, Canada), id or path; a postal code (M5V 2T6 or M5V); coordinates (43.6532, -79.3832). Without places a search covers all of Canada

How searches are read

• In the order you ask. Every search is read in the order sortBy names, newest first by default (Kijiji's sorting date: a reposted listing moves up), page after page. Kijiji's own selected order is checked on every page; an order Kijiji does not offer for a search (relevance without keywords, kilometres outside cars) is a free row listing the orders it offers. A monitor reads newest first.
• Checked on every page. Kijiji applies the keyword, category, place, radius and every filter itself; the Actor checks on every page that Kijiji applied exactly what was sent, and checks the price and seller filters again on each row. A search Kijiji did not apply as sent delivers nothing and gets a free row saying what Kijiji applied.
• The 4,040 cap. Kijiji serves at most 101 pages of 40 listings for one search, whatever its total. The coverage row says how many listings Kijiji holds and how many lay beyond the cap. With splitLargeSearches a larger search is read band by band of price, each band small enough to be read whole; listings without a price figure are counted on the coverage row.
• Places. A Kijiji location is searched over Kijiji's own area for it. A postal code is placed with Kijiji's geocoder and searched within the radius; a postal code Kijiji's geocoder does not know is a free row.

The monitor

Name a monitor (monitorName) and schedule the Actor. The monitor remembers every listing it delivered in a store this Actor keeps for this listing, so each run delivers and bills only listings it never delivered before; listings it already delivered are skipped for free. Each run reads the newest maxPagesPerSearch pages of each search and pays a Results page for each, so keep the pages small for a frequent schedule (1 or 2) and raise them if the coverage row says newListingsMayLieBeyond. The same monitor name with other searches or filters reads nothing (a free row says so).

Privacy

Private sellers' personal data sits behind one switch, includePrivateSellerDetails, off by default. Off, a private seller's row (and a row whose seller kind is not known) carries no person's name, Kijiji page or website (a business profile's still come), no street address or nearest intersection, coordinates rounded to two decimals (about 1 km) and a link by id alone, and phone numbers, e-mail addresses, street addresses with a house number, full postal codes and names written into its title, description and attribute values (and into similar listing titles) are masked with a wide rule that catches the usual writings, not every possible one; those texts come in plain characters. On, all of it comes as Kijiji shows it to a visitor who is not logged in. A business's (Kijiji's dealer flag, a business account, For Sale By "dealer") texts, address, coordinates, link, name and website are delivered either way; a business account that marks its listing "by owner" counts as private, as on Kijiji's own For Sale By filter. Kijiji's own seller phone field is never delivered: logged out it is cut short (416710xxxx) and the full number needs a reCAPTCHA check. Photos are links to Kijiji's image host and belong to the people who posted them. You are responsible for a lawful use of personal data.

What this Actor does NOT do

• No seller phone field (Kijiji shows the full number only after a reCAPTCHA check; numbers sellers write into their texts come with includePrivateSellerDetails on, and always for a business), no messages, offers or posting: those need a Kijiji login or a click Kijiji counts.
• No dealer reviews from Google (another site than Kijiji; owner decision) and no CARFAX report contents (another site: the report link is given, the report is not read).
• No page past the 101st of a search (Kijiji serves none); use splitLargeSearches and the price filters.
• No eBay cross listings filter: none was seen on Kijiji (3,844 rows of this Actor's test runs came from Kijiji itself).
• Status messages are in English in both label languages.
• No job ads Kijiji shows from another site (they link off Kijiji; counted on the coverage row).
• No Kijiji Autos (closed in 2025) and no Kijiji outside Canada.
• Filters in a pasted search link are not read: paste the plain first page link and use the filter settings.

FAQ

Does Kijiji have an API?

Kijiji offers no public API for its listings. This Actor reads the same public listing data any visitor sees, with no login, and gives it to you as rows you can read through the Apify API (examples below).

How do I scrape Kijiji listings without coding?

Type a keyword and a place, press Start, and download the rows as CSV or Excel. The Actor reads Kijiji's own search for you, newest first, and needs no login.

How do I get new Kijiji listings automatically?

Name a monitor and schedule the Actor (every hour, for example). Each run delivers only listings the monitor has not delivered before, newest first, and bills only those.

Can I scrape Kijiji cars with VIN and mileage?

Yes. Search the Cars & Trucks category (id 174): rows carry make, model, year, kilometres and the VIN where the seller gives it, and sellerType picks dealers or private sellers. Kijiji's own car filters (make, year, kilometres, body type, transmission) go in filters, and sortBy reads by price or kilometres. Add includeMileageAnalysis for Kijiji's low, average or high mileage rating and its average market price, and includeVehicleHistory for its history badges.

Is it legal to scrape Kijiji?

This Actor reads only public listings without logging in and never passes Kijiji's reCAPTCHA check for a phone number. Private sellers' names, contacts and addresses are masked unless you turn on includePrivateSellerDetails. Kijiji's terms restrict automated collection and reuse; you are responsible for a lawful use of the data you collect, personal data included.

Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

It needs nothing beyond its own storage: it reads Kijiji's public listings and writes to its own dataset. Limited permissions keep it from touching anything else in your account. A monitor is a named store the Actor creates for itself.
