Kijiji Scraper — Canada Classifieds, Cars & Prices

Export listings from Kijiji, Canada's largest classifieds site — price, mileage, transmission, fuel and location — to JSON, CSV or Excel. Keyless, no login.

What does Kijiji Scraper do?

Kijiji renders its results server-side, so this Actor parses the cards directly and walks the pagination. No API key, no account, no cookies.

Kijiji is built with styled-components, which means every class name carries a build hash (sc-ed38c1d6-3) that changes when they deploy. Selectors pinned to a full class name break within weeks; this Actor matches the stable prefix instead.

The bigger trap is that price, mileage, transmission, fuel and city all render as sibling nodes sharing one class. Read them by index and the moment an ad omits its mileage, "Automatic" lands in the price column. This Actor classifies each value by its own pattern — a leading $ is a price, a km suffix is mileage, a known gearbox word is transmission — so every column holds the right kind of value on every row.

Kijiji's own price rating ("Good price", "Above average") is captured as its own field, which is a ready-made signal for spotting underpriced stock.

Who is it for?

• Car dealers and resellers hunting private-seller inventory across provinces.
• Price analysts building mileage-versus-price curves.
• Rental and property researchers tracking Canadian listings.
• Arbitrage buyers filtering on Kijiji's own price rating.
• Marketplace builders who need a Canadian feed.

Use cases

• Compare asking prices for a model between Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Toronto.
• Filter to listings Kijiji itself flags as "Good price".
• Build a mileage-versus-price scatter for a model year.
• Track weekly supply in a category to time a purchase.
• Switch the category path to scrape rentals or jobs instead of cars.

Why use this Actor?

• Keyless — no account, no token, no login.
• Hash-proof selectors — matches class prefixes, not build hashes.
• Content-classified columns — price, mileage, transmission and fuel never swap places.
• Price rating included, Kijiji's own valuation signal.
• Any category — cars, rentals, jobs, electronics, via one path input.
• Numeric mileage and price ready for sorting and charting.

What data can you extract?

Every row carries the listing ID and URL, title, price in label and numeric form, Kijiji's price rating, mileage in label and kilometres, transmission, fuel, location and the thumbnail. Non-vehicle categories simply leave the vehicle-specific fields null.

How to use it

1. Set the category path — copy it straight from the Kijiji URL.
2. Optionally add a keyword and price band.
3. Set Maximum results and run, then export JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input example

{
  "categoryPath": "b-cars-trucks/canada/c174l0",
  "minPrice": 5000,
  "maxPrice": 30000,
  "maxResults": 1000
}

Notes and limits

• Vehicle fields (mileage, transmission, fuel) only appear in vehicle categories; elsewhere they stay null by design.
• Dealer ads sometimes show a with-taxes figure next to the asking price; the asking price is what lands in priceAmount.
• Prices are asking prices, not transaction prices.
• Seller contact sits behind a click on the listing page; this Actor returns the URL.
• You are responsible for how you use listing and seller data.

FAQ

Do I need a Kijiji account? No. Listings are public and this Actor needs nothing from you.

Can I scrape apartments or jobs? Yes — change the category path; every Kijiji section works.

What is the price rating? Kijiji's own assessment of the asking price against comparable listings. It is passed through as published.

Will it survive a Kijiji redesign? It is built for that: selectors match class prefixes and values are classified by content, not position.

How am I charged? Pay per result — you pay for the listings delivered.
