💰 Pricing

You pay $0.50 per 1,000 listings ($0.0005 per listing), plus the platform usage of the run (compute and proxy traffic), which is small for this actor.

Example: 1,000 listings with details ≈ $0.50 in listing fees plus about $0.07 of usage (proxy traffic and compute), so about $0.57 in total. Runs with details off load one page per 40 listings instead of one page per listing, so they are faster and use less proxy traffic.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Kijiji? The actor only reads public listing pages that anyone can open without an account. It does not collect private sellers' names or phone numbers. Check that your use of the data follows Kijiji's terms and Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA).

Do I need a Kijiji account or my own proxy? No. No login is used, and the built-in datacenter proxy works. If Kijiji rate-limits it, the run switches to Canadian residential proxies on its own.

How many listings can I get? Kijiji pages through about 4,000 listings per search (101 pages of 40). Add several searches to one run to collect more. For bigger sets, split the search by category, location or price range; the run tells you when a search hits that ceiling.

Why are some fields empty? Kijiji only fills what the seller entered: many ads have no coordinates, video or virtual tour. With details off, the description is the shortened search-card text and views are missing.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Save your input as a task, schedule it (for example daily with sort by newest), and read the dataset through the API or integrations.

Can I get the seller's phone number? Only for business sellers, and only as Kijiji displays it (partly masked). Private sellers are reported by seller type only.

⚠️ Limits

• About 4,000 listings per search (Kijiji stops paging after 101 pages); split big searches by category, location or price.
• Phone numbers are shown partly masked by Kijiji; the actor does not reveal hidden numbers or contact sellers.
• Private seller identities are intentionally not collected.
• The named locations cover provinces and major cities; for other places use a location ID or paste a search URL.
