Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐Ÿ Kijiji.ca Listings Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Pull live Kijiji listings in seconds.** Real estate (houses, condos, rentals, rooms, commercial) and Buy & Sell, filtered by category, province, keyword, or price. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-22 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 35+ fields** per listing ยท **3M+ live listings on source** ยท **Pagination + detail enrichment** ยท **Pure HTTP, no headless browser** Kijiji is Canada's largest general classifieds platform with roughly 85% market share of the country's local buy-and-sell traffic and a real estate vertical that hosts over **244,000 active property listings** across every province. This actor extracts listings from any vertical at [kijiji.ca](https://www.kijiji.ca): houses for sale, condos, apartments and condos for rent, room rentals, short-term rentals, commercial space, land, and the full Buy & Sell catalog. Each record carries the title, asking price in CAD, address with city, province, latitude and longitude, full image gallery, view count, listing date, seller type (private vs business), and the canonical attribute set Kijiji exposes for that vertical (bedrooms, bathrooms, sqft on real estate; condition, brand, model on classifieds). You feed it a Kijiji search or category URL, the same one you copy from your browser after applying filters on the site, and the actor walks every page until it has the records you asked for. Each record optionally enriches with the listing detail page so you also get view counts, the full description, all photos at full resolution, and seller phone (when public). Use it for daily monitoring of new rental listings, off-market real estate lead discovery, price intelligence on used goods, dealer benchmarking, or research into Canada's informal economy. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target audience | ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Primary use cases | |---|---| | Real estate agents, property managers, leasing agents, used-car dealers, market researchers, e-commerce resellers | Rental price tracking, off-market lead discovery, daily new listing alerts, competitor pricing, dealer benchmarking, price arbitrage | --- ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the Kijiji Listings Scraper does - ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ **Real estate built in.** Scrape houses for sale, condos, apartments and condos for rent, rooms, short-term rentals, commercial, land, all from one actor. - ๐Ÿ“ **Filter by location.** Pass a Canada-wide URL, any province URL (Ontario, Quebec, BC, Alberta, all 13 provinces and territories), or city-level URLs. - ๐Ÿ”Ž **Filter by keyword.** Bake the keyword into the URL or pass it via the `keyword` input, both work. - ๐Ÿท๏ธ **Filter by category.** 13 real estate sub-categories and 32 Buy & Sell sub-categories, each with its own slug and URL. - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **Filter by price, condition, seller type, ad type.** Apply the filters on Kijiji.ca, then paste the URL, the actor follows whatever you set. - ๐Ÿ” **Detail-page enrichment.** Optional second pass per listing to grab views, full description, full-res photos, end date, and seller phone. Each record includes the listing title, listing ID, listing URL, primary image and full image gallery, price (number) and price type (FIXED / CONTACT / SWAP_TRADE / GIVE_AWAY), currency, category ID and full category path, seller type and ID, verified flag, address, city, province, latitude, longitude, image count, full description, all attributes (bedrooms, bathrooms, sqft, parking, pets, condition, brand, etc. depending on vertical), view count, status, listing type (OFFER / WANTED), activation date, and end date. > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** Kijiji aggregates the largest pool of Canadian real estate and classifieds inventory, but it has no public API. Without this actor, the only options are manual browsing or fragile DIY scrapers. This one returns clean, typed JSON in seconds and is the basis for daily-listing alerts, price indices, and lead pipelines. --- ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo ๐Ÿšง Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to pull daily new rental listings for one neighbourhood, set up a schedule, and route the dataset to a Google Sheet. --- ### โš™๏ธ Input
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
startUrlstringyesAny Kijiji.ca search or category URL: real estate, buy-sell, or any keyword search. Defaults to all real estate across Canada. Apply filters on the site, then paste the URL.
maxItemsintegernoCap on records returned. Free plan: 10. Paid: up to 1,000,000.
keywordstringnoOptional free-text keyword applied on top of the start URL.
categorystringnoPick a category from the dropdown (real estate or buy-sell sub-categories). Overrides the URL's category segment when set.
provincestringnoProvince filter (Ontario, Quebec, BC, etc.). Overrides the URL's province segment when set.
priceMin / priceMaxintegernoPrice range filter in CAD.

proxyConfigurationobjectnoApify Proxy. Datacenter is fine for most runs.
Example, all houses for sale across Canada, 50 most recent: ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.kijiji.ca/b-houses-for-sale/canada/c35l0", "maxItems": 50, "sortBy": "DATE_DESC" } ```` Example, Toronto apartments and condos for rent under $2,500, with detail enrichment: ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.kijiji.ca/b-apartments-condos/city-of-toronto/c37l1700273", "maxItems": 200, "priceMax": 2500, "fetchListingDetails": true } ``` > โš ๏ธ **Good to Know:** Make sure the URL ends in `/cXlY` (e.g. `c35l0` for houses-for-sale Canada-wide, `c37l1700273` for Toronto apartments). That's how Kijiji encodes category and location, and the actor uses that segment to walk pagination. *** ### ๐Ÿ“Š Output Each record is a flat JSON object, drop it straight into Postgres, BigQuery, Sheets, or Make / Zapier without further processing. #### ๐Ÿงพ Schema | Field | Type | Example | |---|---|---| | ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ `imageUrl` | string | `https://media.kijiji.ca/api/v1/...webp` | | ๐Ÿ“ `title` | string | `The Riverfront Bliss: A bungalow near Merrickville` | | ๐Ÿ”— `url` | string | `https://www.kijiji.ca/v-house-for-sale/.../1728118991` | | ๐Ÿ†” `listingId` | string | `1728118991` | | ๐Ÿ’ต `price` | number | `656000` | | ๐Ÿ’ฑ `currency` | string | `CAD` | | ๐Ÿท๏ธ `priceType` | string | `FIXED` / `CONTACT` / `SWAP_TRADE` / `GIVE_AWAY` | | ๐Ÿ“‚ `categoryId` | number | `35` | | ๐Ÿ“‚ `categoryPath` | string | `Real Estate > For Sale > Houses for Sale` | | ๐Ÿ‘ค `sellerType` | string | `private` / `dealer` | | ๐Ÿ‘ค `sellerId` | string | `68379442` | | ๐Ÿ‘ค `sellerName` | string | `Ceci Alexander` | | โœ… `sellerVerified` | boolean | `false` | | โ˜Ž๏ธ `sellerPhone` | string | `780977xxxx` | | ๐ŸŒ `sellerWebsite` | string | full URL or null | | ๐Ÿ”— `sellerProfileUrl` | string | `https://www.kijiji.ca/o-profile/68379442/1` | | ๐Ÿ”ข `sellerListingsCount` | number | `1` | | ๐Ÿ™๏ธ `city` | string | `Merrickville` | | ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ `province` | string | `ON` | | ๐Ÿ“ `address` | string | `Merrickville, ON K0G 1N0` | | ๐ŸŒ `latitude` | number | `44.88` | | ๐ŸŒ `longitude` | number | `-75.79` | | ๐Ÿ“ท `imageCount` | number | `13` | | ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ `imageUrls` | string\[] | full gallery | | ๐Ÿ“ƒ `description` | string | full text | | ๐Ÿงฉ `attributes` | object\[] | `[{name:"Bedrooms",value:"2 + Den"},...]` | | ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ `viewCount` | number | `1507` | | ๐ŸŽฌ `youtubeVideoId` | string | YouTube ID or null | | ๐Ÿ“Š `status` | string | `ACTIVE` | | ๐Ÿ“จ `listingType` | string | `OFFER` / `WANTED` | | โญ `condition` | string | `New` / `Used` / null on real estate | | ๐Ÿ“… `activationDate` | string (ISO) | `2025-11-03T12:35:09.000Z` | | ๐Ÿ“… `endDate` | string (ISO) | `2026-07-08T00:47:09.000Z` | | ๐Ÿ•’ `scrapedAt` | string (ISO) | `2026-05-09T00:59:32.422Z` | #### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Sample records

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ Does it cover real estate and rentals? Yes. The actor scrapes all 13 real estate sub-categories: houses for sale, condos for sale, land for sale, commercial / office for sale, apartments and condos for rent, short-term rentals, room rentals and roommates, storage and parking, commercial / office for rent, and real estate services. Real estate is the default vertical out of the box.
๐Ÿ“… How fresh is the data? Data is fetched live at run time. It reflects exactly what is on Kijiji.ca at that second. Schedule the actor to run as often as you want.
๐Ÿ”ข How many listings can I get per run? Up to 1,000,000 on paid plans. Free plans are capped at 10 listings per run as a preview.
๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need a Kijiji account? No. The actor uses public listing pages. No login, no API key.
๐ŸŒŽ Does it cover all of Canada? Yes. Pass any province or city URL from kijiji.ca and the actor follows it. The default URL covers all of Canada.
๐Ÿ“ท Are full-resolution images included? Yes when `fetchListingDetails` is enabled (default). The detail page returns full-res webp URLs in `imageUrls`.
๐Ÿ›๏ธ Are bedrooms, bathrooms, and sqft included for real estate? Yes. Real-estate-specific fields land in the `attributes` array as canonical names: `numberbedrooms`, `numberbathrooms`, `areainfeet`, `forrentbyhousing` / `forsalebyhousing`, `furnished`, `petsallowed`, `parking`, and more depending on the sub-category.
๐Ÿ‘€ How does view count work? Kijiji exposes a `views` metric on the detail page. The actor surfaces it as `viewCount`. Available only when `fetchListingDetails` is on.
๐Ÿ›’ Can I use the data commercially? Yes. Common commercial uses include rental price tracking, off-market lead discovery, dealer benchmarking, market intelligence, and academic research.
๐Ÿ’ธ Is there a paid plan? Yes. The Apify platform has tiered usage plans. Free accounts get $5 in starter credit and the 10-item preview cap. Paid plans unlock the full 1,000,000-item ceiling.
โš–๏ธ Is it legal to scrape Kijiji? Public listing data is generally fair game for research, market intelligence, and competitive analysis. You are responsible for respecting Kijiji's Terms of Service and applicable Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA). Do not scrape private contact details or republish copyrighted descriptions verbatim at scale.
๐Ÿ†˜ What if a run fails? Open the contact form below. Most failures come from a stale start URL (Kijiji rotates segment IDs occasionally). Paste the URL and we will fix it.
