Proxy Requirements

Kijiji.ca employs bot detection that blocks datacenter IP addresses. Residential proxies are required for reliable scraping. The actor defaults to Apify Residential Proxies, which provide Canadian IP addresses for optimal results.

FAQ

How do I find the right URL to use?
Navigate to any Kijiji category or search results page in your browser and copy the URL. The actor supports any public Kijiji.ca listing page.

Can I filter by price, location radius, or other attributes?
Yes — apply any filters you need directly in the Kijiji search interface, then copy the filtered URL as your startUrl. All URL parameters (price range, radius, sort order, etc.) are preserved.

How many listings can I scrape?
Each Kijiji search page shows up to 40 listings. The actor automatically paginates through all pages. Set maxListings to control the total, or set it to 0 for unlimited (scrapes all available pages — increase the actor's run timeout in the Apify UI accordingly).

Does it work for all categories?
Yes — cars, real estate, jobs, pets, electronics, furniture, and all other Kijiji categories are supported.

Why does it sometimes miss some fields?
Enable fetchDetails: true to visit each listing page individually for complete data. Without it, only the data visible on the search results page is collected.
