Mercado Libre Reviews Scraper

Collect customer reviews from Mercado Libre and Mercado Livre in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. Turn product URLs into structured ratings, feedback, dates, helpful votes, photos and videos for sentiment analysis, product research and review monitoring.

Features

• Recent feedback: collect newest reviews or start with the most helpful.
• Star filters: focus on negative feedback or select any rating from one to five.
• Photos and videos: get customer photo URLs and available video, preview and thumbnail URLs.
• Useful dates: exact review timestamps where supplied, alongside the displayed relative date.
• Deeper collection: optionally explore additional rating and sort groups to discover more reviews.
• Deduplicated results: a review is saved and charged only once per run, even when it appears in several groups or product variants.
• Incremental monitoring: stop at review IDs collected in a previous run.

How it works

1. Paste catalog product URLs or seller-item URLs from a supported marketplace.
2. Set the maximum review count and choose a sort order or star rating.
3. Run the Actor and export JSON, CSV or Excel, or retrieve results through the Apify API.

URLs are processed in input order. maxItems applies to the entire run; the first product can use the whole limit. Use separate tasks for equal per-product allowances.

Input

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.mercadolibre.com.mx/apple-iphone-16-256-gb-rosa/p/MLM40287790"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "sort": "dateCreated",
  "rating": "all",
  "deepScan": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Field	Default	Description
productUrls	Example product prefilled	Up to 1,000 catalog or seller-item URLs. Supports mercadolibre.com.mx, mercadolibre.com.ar and mercadolivre.com.br.
maxItems	50	Global maximum of 1–100,000 unique reviews. Available reviews may be fewer.
sort	dateCreated	Newest first; use relevance for most helpful.
rating	all	All ratings or a string from "1" to "5".
deepScan	false	Explore additional rating and sort groups after the initial group. Does not guarantee a complete history.
stopAtReviewIds	[]	Numeric review IDs as strings. Stops each product when a matching ID is reached, excluding that review. Requires newest-first order with deeper collection disabled.
proxyConfiguration	Automatic Apify selection	Standard Apify proxy settings.

Catalog URLs such as https://www.mercadolibre.com.mx/p/MLM40287790 and article URLs such as https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-2158714653-iphone-_JM identify different input types. Use the original URL so the Actor can select the correct type. Search URLs, short links and bare IDs are not supported. Review-page URLs are also accepted; seller-item review URLs must retain isItem=true.

Deeper collection: the Actor starts with your selected order and rating. With all ratings selected, it subsequently explores individual star groups and both sort orders. With a specific rating, it only explores that rating in both orders. Output is not globally date-ordered in this mode. A low review limit can be filled before the additional groups are explored.

Monitoring: save recent review IDs and supply them on the next run. Mercado Libre can reorder or add reviews, so stopping at a known ID is a convenience rather than a guarantee of discovering every new review.

When media is present, photos contains image URLs. Each entry in videos contains available url, previewUrl, thumbnail and durationMs fields. Media files are not downloaded and their availability can change.

Field	Meaning
reviewId, rating, text	Stable review identity, star rating and comment.
createdAt, dateText	Exact timestamp when supplied, plus the source's displayed date.
reviewSite, reviewCountry	Where the review originated, which can differ from the input marketplace.
reviewedCatalogProductId, variant	Reviewed product identity and variant text where available.
helpfulVotes	Available helpful-vote count.
photos, videos	Customer media references.
inputProductUrl, inputProductId, inputType, marketplace	Input attribution.
sourceSort, sourceRating, sourceOffset, scrapedAt	Collection context and time.

Missing fields are null or empty. Reviewer names and individual verified-purchase flags are not supplied. Variant text is often absent.

Coverage and run summary

Mercado Libre can group reviews across countries and product variants. Reviews from two input URLs may overlap; the first encountered copy is retained. Some text may be automatically translated by the marketplace. We preserve the returned text and do not label it as the original language.

Ratings and written reviews are different totals. A product may show thousands of ratings but expose a smaller collection of comments. Source limits can also restrict how many reviews are available in each sort/rating group. Deeper collection can improve coverage, but this Actor does not guarantee every advertised review.

Open the Run summary output for advertised rating/comment counts, explored groups and the stopping reason for each product:

Status	Meaning
max_items_reached	Your global review limit was reached.
budget_reached	The run's review-charge budget was reached.
known_review_reached	A supplied review ID was encountered.
source_limited	At least one collection reached the source safety limit; more reviews may exist.
available_streams_exhausted	All selected groups returned empty after retries. This is not proof of a complete history.
no_reviews_returned	No reviews were returned and product validity could not be established. This can include nonexistent products.
partial / failed	A retrieval problem or request limit stopped processing. Saved reviews remain available.
not_started	An earlier product used the run's review, request or charging allowance.

There is a run-wide request allowance to bound low-yield work. Failed or partial products mark the run as failed so automated workflows can detect them; existing results are preserved. Source limits and ordinary review/charging limits are reported without marking the run as failed.

Pricing

$1 per 1,000 unique reviews — $0.001 per saved review.

Event	Price per result	Price per 1,000
Review (review)	$0.001	$1.00

Fifty reviews cost $0.05 in review-event charges. Duplicates, retries, empty responses and product summaries do not trigger review charges. Set maxItems and the run's maximum charge to control spending; consult the Apify pricing panel for any additional platform charges.
