Marketplace Listings Scraper - Craigslist, eBay, Kijiji

Marketplace Listings Scraper by ScraperCompany searches Craigslist, eBay, Kijiji and Karrot. Enter keywords (or a Kijiji search URL) and get each listing's title, price, currency, location, photo, description and link; Kijiji adds coordinates and posted date, Karrot the seller. eBay results add shipping, bids, time left, best offer, seller feedback, watchers and sold counts, with condition, auction or Buy It Now, price range and sort filters on eight eBay sites. Pricing is pay-per-event: $0.004 per Craigslist, Kijiji or Karrot search and $0.013 per eBay results page; searches with no listings and failed requests are free.

Nothing to set up: no code, no login and no keys. Start a run, then export JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API. You pay only for results; failed and empty requests are free.

Input example

This is the default input; running the Actor without changes uses it.

{
  "site": "craigslist",
  "searches": [
    "bike"
  ],
  "craigslist_city": "newyork",
  "includeErrors": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "maxRetries": 2
}

Output example

One dataset item per request (trimmed here; real items contain all the fields):

{
  "site": "craigslist",
  "input": {
    "city": "newyork",
    "query": "bike",
    "limit": 100
  },
  "listings": [
    {
      "currency": "USD",
      "description": null,
      "id": "iHRAyxVtfScQUpm2w9iEEW",
      "location": "Brooklyn",
      "photo": null,
      "price": 200,
      "title": "State Track Bike 52cm Small",
      "url": "https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/brooklyn-state-track-bike-52cm-small/iHRAyxVtfScQUpm2w9iEEW"
    }
  ],
  "search_parameters": {
    "city": "newyork",

    "query": "bike"
  },
  "total": 1,
  "url": "https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=bike",

  "billed": true,
  "scraped_at": "2026-10-01T14:03:27.512Z"
}

A request that fails is saved with an error message instead (turn off Include failed requests to skip those). Failed requests are never charged.

How much does it cost to scrape marketplace listings?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay for successful requests, not for compute time.

Event	Charged when	Price	Per 1,000
search-page	One search of Craigslist (up to 400 listings), Kijiji (up to 100) or Karrot (up to 60). No listings is free.	$0.004	$4.00
ebay-search-page	One page of eBay search results (about 60 listings). No listings is free.	$0.013	$13.00

Paid Apify plans pay less: search-page up to 5% off (on every paid plan). The Pricing tab shows the price on your plan.

What a real run costs:

• 100 requests: $0.40
• 1,000 requests: $4.00
• 10,000 requests: $40.00

Apify's $5 of free monthly usage covers about 1,250 search-page events.

• Failed requests (errors, invalid input, a site refusing after retries) are free.
• Requests where the source returns nothing at all (no results, nothing priced) are saved but not charged.
• Set Maximum cost per run when you start a run and the Actor stops cleanly before going over it.

Run it on a schedule

Use Apify Schedules to repeat a run hourly, daily or weekly and compare results over time, and webhooks or the Integrations tab to push new results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack or your own warehouse.

Use it with AI agents

Results are structured JSON, so they are easy to feed to a model. AI agents such as Claude can run this Actor and read its results through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need an account on the site, or an API key?

No. The Actor is ready to run as is, and you only pay the per-event prices above.

Which Craigslist cities work?

Any Craigslist site: enter its subdomain, the part before .craigslist.org, e.g. newyork, sfbay, toronto or london.

What do I enter for Kijiji?

A Kijiji search URL: search on kijiji.ca with your keywords, category and location, then copy the address.

How many listings per search?

Craigslist up to 400, Kijiji up to 100, Karrot up to 60, and one eBay page (about 60). Each search is one charge.

Does it return sold eBay items?

It returns active listings; the sold field is how many units a listing has already sold.

Is it legal to scrape marketplace listings?

The Actor collects publicly available information that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the results: respect the source site's terms, copyright and privacy law (such as GDPR) and do not collect personal data without a lawful basis. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

What happens when a request is blocked or rate-limited?

Temporary errors are retried automatically. If a request still fails it is saved with the error message and not charged, and the rest of the batch keeps going. A run only fails when every request failed.

Why did a request return an error?

Read the error field: it says what was wrong with the input, for example a malformed date or an unknown id. Fix it and run again; failed requests cost nothing.

How many requests can I run at once?

Any number per run. The Actor sends up to 3 requests in parallel by default (change it under Run options); larger batches simply take longer.

Use it from your code

Call the Actor from any language through the Apify API. With the JavaScript client (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('scrapercompany/marketplace-listings-scraper').call({
    "site": "craigslist",
    "searches": [
        "bike"
    ]
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

With Python (pip install apify-client):

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("scrapercompany/marketplace-listings-scraper").call(run_input={
    "site": "craigslist",
    "searches": ["bike"],
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
