Mercado Livre Product Detail - Scrape Products by URL

Give it Mercado Livre / Mercado Libre product URLs, get back full product detail per URL: name, description, price, discount, variants, seller info, ratings, attributes, full image gallery, shipping. Supports Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador.

No login, no cookies, no setup. Works out of the box on a paid Apify plan.

Why a dedicated PDP actor?

The companion Mercado Livre Scraper is built for discovery (keyword/category searches returning many products with card-level fields). This actor is built for detail (you already have product URLs; you need the rich PDP data: full description, attributes, full image gallery, seller profile, reviews).

If you paste a product URL into the discovery actor, you'll get a search instead. This actor does what you actually want: one URL in, one product detail record out.

Free vs. paid Apify plans

This actor relies on residential proxies funded by the actor author. Free Apify accounts cannot pull live Mercado Livre data.

• Free plan: returns a clearly-labelled MOCK sample (every record has _mock: true and a _notice field) so you can inspect the exact output shape before committing.
• Paid plan: real, live Mercado Livre data.

Field notes

• price: current sale price.

• discountPercent: integer percent off, computed from originalPrice and price. null when not on sale.
• isOnSale: boolean. true only when originalPrice > price.
• available: total available stock when Mercado Livre exposes it.
• soldQuantity: lifetime sold count where available. Mercado Livre sometimes hides this.
• sellerReputation: platinum / gold / silver / bronze / null.

Pricing

Billed per dataset item returned. One URL processed successfully = one billed record. URLs that fail to scrape (404, removed listing, Akamai block) emit an error record and are not billed as products.

How fast?

Each product takes roughly 8-15 seconds. 100 URLs ≈ 15-20 minutes.

Companion actor

Need to find products by keyword instead of scraping known URLs? Use Mercado Livre Scraper.

Limitations

• Mercado Livre is fronted by Akamai Bot Manager. The actor uses residential proxies + browser fingerprinting to bypass it. Aggressive runs (hundreds of URLs back-to-back) may hit transient blocks; the actor retries up to 2 times per URL before giving up.
• soldQuantity is sometimes null because Mercado Livre hides it on some listings.
