Mercado Libre Questions Scraper

🚀 Mercado Libre Questions Scraper: Preguntas and Perguntas with Answers

Export the buyer questions and seller answers from Mercado Libre and Mercado Livre listings as JSON, CSV or Excel. The Mercado Libre Questions Scraper takes listing URLs or item IDs from Mexico, Argentina and Brazil and returns every public question (preguntas, perguntas) with the seller's answer and answer date. Use it for product research, competitor monitoring and FAQ datasets, or as a simple alternative to the Mercado Libre API for questions.

🎯 Use Cases

• Mercado Livre perguntas and Mercado Libre preguntas at scale: export every question buyers asked on a listing, with the answer, instead of scrolling the product page.
• Find what stops buyers from purchasing: read the doubts buyers raise about size, compatibility, shipping or warranty, and fix your own listing copy before they ask.
• Competitor monitoring: see how rival sellers answer, how fast they reply and which objections keep coming up on their best sellers.
• Product research before you launch: collect the questions on the top listings in a category to learn what buyers care about.
• FAQ and support datasets: turn real buyer questions and seller answers into an FAQ page, a support knowledge base or training data for a chatbot.

✨ Features

• Questions and answers: the buyer's question, the seller's answer, the answer date (as YYYY-MM-DD) and whether the site machine-translated the answer for the buyer.
• Deep history: questions are collected newest first, as far back as you ask for. Busy listings have hundreds.
• Mexico, Argentina and Brazil: Mercado Libre and Mercado Livre listings, matched to the right marketplace automatically.
• Flexible input: listing links (articulo. / produto.), catalog links that include the seller's listing, or plain item IDs such as MLM2574560561.
• No duplicates: each question is saved once per listing, with its position in the listing's question history.
• Fair billing: you pay per question saved. Listings without questions and unusable inputs get a free explanatory row.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Add listings: paste listing URLs or item IDs, one per line.
2. Choose how many questions per listing: 50 by default.
3. Run the scraper: results come out one question per row and can be exported to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pulled through the API.

Which URL to use? Questions belong to a seller's listing, not to a catalog page. A catalog link like .../p/MLM40287790 shows whichever seller currently wins the page, so it doesn't identify one listing. Open the listing and copy its URL (articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-...), or use a catalog link that carries the listing, such as one ending in #wid=MLM... or ?pdp_filters=item_id:MLM.... Catalog links without a listing get a free row explaining this.

⚙️ Input

Field	What it does
Listing URLs or item IDs	Mercado Libre listing URLs (Mexico, Argentina, Brazil), catalog links that name the seller's listing, or item IDs.
Max questions per listing	How many questions to collect for each listing, newest first. Default 50.

{
    "items": [
        "https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-2574560561",
        "MLA1414457263"
    ],
    "maxQuestionsPerItem": 100
}

Item IDs start with the marketplace code: MLM for Mexico, MLA for Argentina and MLB for Brazil.

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the questions you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Question	$0.001 per question ($1.00 per 1,000)	One buyer question with the seller's answer and answer date.
Actor start	$0.00005 per run	Charged once when the run starts.

Listings without questions and invalid inputs are free.

Examples:

• 1 listing × 50 questions = $0.05 (plus the $0.00005 start fee).
• 100 listings × 50 questions = 5,000 questions = $5.00.
• 20 competitor listings × 200 questions = 4,000 questions = $4.00.

Set a maximum charge on the run and the scraper stops when it is reached.

📊 Sample Output Data

Each question is one row. A real row from a recent run:

{
    "itemId": "MLM2574560561",
    "marketplace": "MLM",
    "itemUrl": "https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-2574560561",
    "position": 1,
    "questionId": "13678949086",
    "question": "una pregunta el botón qué tienes de lado izquierdo para que funciona",
    "answer": "Hola, gracias por su interés. Esa es la tecla personalizable. Puedes configurar la función rápida que prefieras en Ajustes Smart Assistant o Teclas de acceso directo. Si tienes alguna otra pregunta, con gusto te ayudaremos.",
    "answered": true,
    "answerDate": "2026-10-22",
    "answerTranslated": false,
    "inputUrl": "https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-2574560561",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-22T14:24:01.634Z"
}

position is the question's place in the listing's history, 1 being the newest. answerTranslated is true when Mercado Libre marks the answer as machine-translated ("Traducida automáticamente"). Listings that could not be collected produce a row with status (no_questions, invalid_input or failed) and an error message instead of question fields; these rows are free.

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

To watch new questions on your own or your competitors' listings, run it once a day with the same input and a small Max questions per listing (10–20): newest questions come first, so each run picks up what was asked since the last one. Set it up in Apify Schedules. Send the results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations, so new buyer questions land where your team already works.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent can call it with:

{ "items": ["MLM2574560561"], "maxQuestionsPerItem": 20 }

❓ FAQ

Does Mercado Libre have an official API for questions? Yes. Mercado Libre and Mercado Livre offer a developer API, including a questions resource, which needs a registered app and an access token, and is designed mainly for sellers managing their own listings. This Actor needs no app, key or account: you paste any public listing and get its questions and answers as a dataset, with dates normalised and duplicates removed.

Can I export Mercado Livre perguntas from Brazil? Yes. Paste produto.mercadolivre.com.br listing links or MLB item IDs; questions come back in the language buyers wrote them in.

Do I need a Mercado Libre account? No. Only public questions are collected.

Are the asker's name and question date included? No. Mercado Libre shows neither publicly, only the answer date.

Are unanswered questions included? Only the questions Mercado Libre shows publicly are collected. In practice those are nearly always answered, so answer and answerDate are rarely empty.

Which countries and how many questions are supported? Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. You can collect as many questions per listing as the listing has, newest first; set Max questions per listing to the depth you need.

How do I find the questions buyers ask most about a product type? Collect the questions on the top 10–20 listings for that product (find them with the Mercado Libre Listings Scraper) and group the question texts by topic in a spreadsheet or with an AI model.
