Looking for a Jiji scraper for Nigeria, Kenya or Ghana? This Actor collects classified ads from Jiji, one of Africa's biggest online marketplaces, as clean rows for a spreadsheet, a database or an alert. Each row has the price in a clear currency, location, seller badges, typed specs, photos and a deal label.

This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jiji. It reads only ads that anyone can open without an account.

🔍 What does this Actor do?

Jiji lists millions of ads but only lets you scroll them. This Actor turns a search into data.

• Reads any Jiji page you paste (a category, a region, a brand page, a keyword search, a seller shop or one listing) or builds searches from countries, categories, keywords and regions.
• Filters by price, freshness, verified sellers and, for cars, phones and property, by make, model, year, mileage, gearbox, fuel, condition, bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishing, storage and memory.
• Puts a price in context. Each ad is compared with similar ads in your run and labelled GREAT_DEAL, BELOW_MARKET, FAIR_PRICE or ABOVE_MARKET. With full details on, you also get Jiji's own fair-price range.
• Merges ads that a seller posted again, rolls up every seller in your run, and can add a US dollar price.
• Opens each ad on request for post date, renewal date, views, favourites, the full description, all photos and the seller profile.
• Tracks a saved search between runs and labels each ad NEW, PRICE_DROP, PRICE_UP, RENEWED, UPDATED, UNCHANGED or REMOVED, with price history.

🎯 What can I use it for?

• Car dealers and importers: spot cars listed below the going price and watch rival stock and prices by make, model and year.
• Phone and electronics resellers: find phones under market value and follow price drops by brand and storage.
• Property agents and analysts: build a rent and sale price history by town, bedrooms and size.
• Lead-gen agencies: list the most active sellers in a category and follow one shop's whole inventory.
• Researchers and data teams: compare prices across African markets and feed a clean table into a pipeline each day.

💰 Pricing

You pay per listing saved. Opening a listing for full details counts as one extra billed item for that listing. A run that finds no listings costs nothing, and there are no subscriptions. The default run of 20 listings is a small, quick test. Free plan runs are limited to 25 listings per run, 3 runs per day, and a short wait between runs.

❓ FAQ

Does the Jiji scraper need an account or login?

No. The Actor reads the public ads that anyone can open. It never asks for a login, password, cookie or API key, and it never contacts a seller.

How do I scrape used car prices in Nigeria or Kenya from Jiji?

Pick the country, choose the Cars category, then set make, model, years, mileage and price. Sort by newest, raise "Max results" and read priceVsMedianPercent and dealLabel to find cars under the going price. Add a monitor name and a schedule to catch new cars and price drops.

How are the deal labels calculated?

Each ad is compared with other ads of the same kind in your own run: same country, category, condition and model. The label needs at least 5 comparable ads, otherwise the fields are left out. Switch on full details to also get Jiji's own fair-price range for each ad.

Does it return seller phone numbers?

Only when Jiji shows them to anyone without logging in, and only if you switch on the contact option together with full details. Many ads show none. The Actor never logs in or clicks reveal buttons to get a number.
