🖥️ Can I use Kijiji Scraper via the API?

Yes. The Apify API gives you programmatic access to run the scraper, fetch results, manage schedules, and more. Use the apify-client NPM package for Node.js or the apify-client PyPI package for Python. Check the API tab for code examples.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape Kijiji?
