Four scraping modes

🔍 Search mode

Type a keyword (for example, iphone 15) or paste a search URL. Get one row per product card on the listing with title, brand, thumbnail, price, currency, discount, rating, rating count, free shipping flag, product ID, and position in the result list.

Need more than the listing shows? Turn on Scrape product details for each result and every row also carries the full description, condition, complete image gallery, seller name and reputation, catalog product ID, attributes, and category breadcrumbs. Rows are still billed at one result each, so the price per result does not change. Runs take longer because each result is opened individually.

📦 Product mode

Paste a product URL. Get a full product detail record per URL:

• Title, description, brand, condition, SKU, the full high resolution image gallery
• Current price, original price, discount percentage, currency, stock status
• Rating, rating count, total review count, top 5 reviews inline
• Seller name, reputation level, power seller status, official store flag
• Installments: quantity, per payment amount, total
• Shipping: free flag, origin, destination, handling and transit days
• Return policy: country, days, method, fees
• Every color / storage / size variant
• Up to 20 buyer questions with the seller's answers and timestamps
• Breadcrumbs and 50+ technical specs

⭐ Reviews mode

Paste a product URL. Get one row per review with star rating, full review text, date, reviewer country, likes count, attached photos or videos, and the color or size the buyer reviewed.

There is no fixed 500 review cap. Set Max Items to 0 and the actor sweeps every rating and sort bucket to pull the deepest set MercadoLibre will serve for that product. Popular products commonly return several hundred unique reviews.

🏪 Seller mode

Paste a seller URL or seller ID. Get the storefront profile plus the full catalog.

Storefront profile (one row per seller) with 30+ fields:

• Seller name, shop name, shop type, slug, official store ID
• Followers count, date created, status, brand registry
• Banner image, mobile banner, logo, header style, description, subdomain
• Tags such as priority_brand or has_followers
• Compliance flags: has_moderations, has_debts, restrictions
• Free trial start, end, and period
• Address, phone, email when the seller has published them
• Corridor menu listing every storefront section with name, URL, and category ID

Catalog rows (up to 2,000 per seller) with title, price, currency, free shipping flag, rating, and seller context attached to every row.

Optional featured items when you toggle it on: every featured product in every storefront corridor (typically about 50 per corridor, ~500 per brand store). Useful for brand monitoring and MAP enforcement.

  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-04T08:48:22.033Z"
}

Two date fields, because they answer different questions:

• reviewDate is the exact publish time in ISO 8601 (2023-11-21T16:00:16Z). Use this one to sort, filter by period, or compare reviews.
• reviewDateText is the wording MercadoLibre shows on the page, in the language of that marketplace (Hace más de 1 año on MX and AR, Há 2 meses on BR). Useful if you are mirroring what a shopper sees, but it is relative to the moment you scraped and it does not age well in storage.

catalogProductId is the catalog entry the review belongs to. It is often a different ID than the one you submitted, because MercadoLibre groups several listings of the same product under one catalog family and shares their reviews.

Limitations

• Search and seller catalogs stop at 2,000 items per query or per seller. To go deeper, split the work: narrower keywords, category filters, or one run per storefront section.
• Buyer Q&A caps at 20 questions per product, which is what the product page itself surfaces, not the full history.
• Product mode returns the top 5 reviews inline. For the deep review set, use reviews mode.
• Public pages only. No buyer names beyond what MercadoLibre publishes, no order history, no seller contact details unless the seller chose to publish them.

Frequently asked questions

Does this scraper work for Mercado Livre Brasil?

Yes. Pick BR as the country and the actor returns BRL prices and Portuguese content. Brazil is fully supported in all four modes, same as the eight Spanish language marketplaces.

Do I need to log in or provide cookies?

No. Paste a URL or a keyword and run. There is nothing to configure, no account on MercadoLibre, and no proxy setup.

Will I get blocked?

No. The actor handles bot protection automatically and retries on its own when a request is refused.

How do I find a seller's ID?

Open the seller's page on MercadoLibre and copy the URL. Brand storefronts, seller profile pages, and numeric seller IDs all work as input.

Can I scrape products by keyword instead of URL?

Yes. Pick search mode and type the keyword in searchQuery. Example: { "mode": "search", "country": "MX", "searchQuery": "iphone 15", "maxItems": 100 }.

What happens when a product or seller URL is not found?

Nothing is charged for it. The run finishes successfully and the page is skipped, so a typo or a dead listing in a large batch never costs you money and never fails the run.

How much does MercadoLibre Scraper cost?

You pay per result: $5 per 1,000 at the free tier, down to $2 per 1,000 at the top Apify Store discount tier. There is no per-run fee and no minimum spend. Full breakdown in the pricing section above.

Is it legal to scrape MercadoLibre?

Scraping public data is generally allowed in the US and most of the EU, as long as you don't collect personal data covered by GDPR or CCPA without a lawful basis. This actor only touches publicly accessible pages, but how you use the output is on you.

Apify's full breakdown: Is web scraping legal?.

Does it support scheduled runs and integrations?

Yes. Schedule it daily, weekly, or hourly in Apify Console to monitor prices, inventory, or new listings. Results push into Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and anything else that consumes webhooks.

Full list: Apify integrations.

Can I use it with the Apify API?

Yes. Every run is available via the Apify REST API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sourabhbgp~mercadolibre-scraper/runs?token=APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "search", "country": "MX", "searchQuery": "iphone 15", "maxItems": 100}'

Docs: Apify API reference.

Can I use it through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify ships an MCP server that exposes every actor as a tool, so Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP capable client can call this scraper. Setup: Apify MCP docs.
