Kijiji Scraper: listings, prices and car specs across Canada ($0.39 per 1,000 listings)

Get Kijiji.ca search results as clean data. Search by keyword (all of Canada or chosen provinces) or paste any Kijiji search URL with your category, city and filters already set. Each listing comes back as one row: title, price, category, city, province, postal prefix, photos, posting date and the listing's attributes (condition, and for cars: make, model, year, mileage, transmission and so on).

The Actor reads the same public search pages anyone sees in a browser. It uses no login and no proxies, and it never outputs seller IDs, names, ratings, phone numbers or emails.

Prices are taken from each Actor's Store listing on Oct 24, 2026 (Free → Diamond tiers; calm_builder also sells optional detail/report add-ons). Rivals may open listing pages for full descriptions; this one reads search results only (see limits).

Privacy-safe by design

• Left out by default: seller IDs, names, ratings, phone numbers and emails; listing URLs use the short form without the address slug.
• Location is reduced to city, province and postal prefix (FSA), with coordinates rounded to about 1 km.
• In titles, descriptions and attributes, emails, phone numbers, street addresses and names after cues like "call" or "ask for" are masked.
• There is no opt-in input to collect seller details.
• How you use the data is your responsibility under the privacy laws that apply to you (e.g. PIPEDA, GDPR, CCPA). These defaults reduce privacy risk; they are not legal advice or a guarantee of legal compliance.

Use cases

• Used-car and resale price tracking by province
• Market research on demand and supply for a product category
• Deal alerts: run on a schedule with a maxPrice

Honest limits

• sellerType is often empty outside cars.
• Search-results data only. The full description and the full photo set are on each listing page, which this version doesn't open. description is Kijiji's snippet.
• No proxy. Kijiji may block or rate-limit datacenter IPs. The Actor waits 2–3 seconds between pages and retries 429/5xx 3 times (2/4/8 s). If it's blocked, it stops with a clear status and you're charged only for listings saved.
• Kijiji repeats "Top Ads" across pages; duplicates are removed. A search ends when a page brings no new listings.
• attributes uses Kijiji's internal codes (e.g. usedgood) as-is.
• province comes from the listing address or postal prefix; postedAt is missing on some listings (sortedAt is always present).
• Masking is pattern-based (English and French cues). Unusual formats such as a name with no cue word or an address without a street suffix can slip through.
• New Actor with no reviews yet.
