Works in 🇲🇽 MX, 🇦🇷 AR, 🇧🇷 BR, 🇨🇱 CL, 🇨🇴 CO, 🇵🇪 PE, 🇺🇾 UY, 🇪🇨 EC, and 🇩🇴 DO — country is auto-detected from each product URL.

How much does MercadoLibre Review Scraper cost?

Pay-per-result pricing. You pay $1 for 1,000 reviews — flat, regardless of country or rating filter. No per-run fee.

Use cases

• 🔍 Product research before launch. Read what real LATAM buyers say about competing SKUs — pain points, missing features, packaging complaints — before you ship your own.
• 📉 Returns & complaint analysis. Filter to 1- and 2-star reviews to surface recurring defects, fakes, or shipping issues.
• 🏆 Competitive benchmarking. Compare star distributions and review volume across competing products in the same category.
• 📷 Visual quality monitoring. Reviewer photos reveal damage, fakes, and packaging variations no listing image will show.
• 🌎 Cross-market comparison. Is the same product loved in Mexico but hated in Brazil? Run both URLs side by side.
• 🧠 Sentiment & topic modeling. Feed raw review text into an LLM or NLP pipeline for theme extraction, language by language.
• 📈 Listing optimization. Spot the phrases buyers use to describe what they like — then echo them in your own title and description.
• 🛒 Marketplace seller monitoring. Track review trends on your own SKUs over time and catch quality slippage early.
