Kijiji Classifieds Scraper

Kijiji Classifieds Scraper

Scrape Kijiji classified listings by keyword and location, up to a million per run. Every listing returns its title, price, location, and full details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Kijiji is Canada's largest classifieds marketplace, but manually copying listings from multiple cities or categories is slow and error-prone. This Actor searches Kijiji by any keyword and location, reads the public listing feed, and returns every match in a clean, flat schema. It works for items for sale, jobs, housing, services, cars, and more.

Who uses it	What they scrape Kijiji for
Market researchers	Track supply, demand, and pricing trends for specific product categories across Canadian regions.
Deal hunters and resellers	Monitor newly listed items below market value in their local area.
Real estate investors	Collect rental and for-sale property listings to analyze market rates by neighborhood.
Recruiters and job seekers	Aggregate job postings from multiple cities into one searchable dataset.

What it does

This Actor collects Kijiji classified listings by search term and optional city or province, and returns each listing as a flat row.

• 🔎 Keyword search: enter any search term like 'laptop', 'sofa', or 'apartment' to find matching listings.
• 📍 Location filter: narrow results to a specific city, province, or search nationwide with 'Canada'.
• 📊 Scalable collection: set a maximum from 1 to 1,000,000 listings per run to match your project size.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with Kijiji data

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your spelling in the query field. Try a broader search term or remove the location filter to search all of Canada. Some very specific queries may have no active listings at the moment.

Why are my results different from what I see on the Kijiji website?

Kijiji listings change constantly as sellers post, edit, and remove ads. A run captures a snapshot at that moment. Run the Actor again to get the latest listings.

The Actor stopped before reaching my maxItems limit.

The Actor stops when it has collected all available listings matching your query. If fewer listings exist than your maxItems setting, the run ends early with whatever was found.

Can I scrape listings from a specific Kijiji URL?

This Actor is driven by keyword and location, not by direct URL. Use the query and location fields to replicate the search that produces the listings you want.

Why are some listing fields empty in my dataset?

Sellers on Kijiji are not required to fill every field. If a seller leaves the description blank or does not set a price, those columns will be empty for that listing.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Can I scrape listings from multiple cities in one run?	One run searches one location at a time. To cover multiple cities, run the Actor once per city and merge the datasets. You can schedule concurrent runs for different locations.
Does this Actor scrape the full listing description?	Yes. Each result includes the full body text of the listing as it appears on Kijiji, along with title, price, location, and other available fields.
Can I filter by category, like cars or real estate?	The Actor searches across all categories by keyword. To target a specific category, include category-specific terms in your query, such as 'Honda Civic' for cars or '2 bedroom condo' for real estate.
Is this Actor legal to use?	This Actor reads publicly available listing data from Kijiji. You are responsible for complying with Kijiji's terms of service and Canadian privacy laws in how you use the data.
How do I get seller contact information?	The Actor returns whatever contact details are publicly visible on the listing page. If a seller hides their phone number or email, that information will not appear in the dataset.
Can I scrape sold or expired listings?	No. The Actor reads the active public listing feed. Once a listing is removed or marked as sold by the seller, it disappears from search results and cannot be collected.
Does this work for Kijiji in French, like in Quebec?	Yes. Kijiji serves both English and French Canada. Search in French with terms like 'appartement à louer Montréal' and set the location to a Quebec city to get French-language listings.
What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset in CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform after the run completes.
How often can I run this Actor?	You can run it on demand or schedule it to run at regular intervals, such as every hour or every day, to monitor new listings as they appear.
Do I need a Kijiji account or login?	No. The Actor reads the public listing pages that anyone can view in a browser. No account, login, or API key is required.
