Kijiji Scraper API

The Piloterr Kijiji Scraper API lets you extract public data from Kijiji as clean, structured JSON — no proxies, headless browsers or HTML parsing to maintain. Endpoints available in production:

Kijiji Ad API — Read one Kijiji ad from its id or URL.
Kijiji Search API — Search Kijiji with a results URL or a city and category.

Use it for listing monitoring, price benchmarks, stock sourcing or market analytics on second-hand and vehicle marketplaces.

Endpoint	Path	Credits	What you get
Kijiji Ad API	`/v2/kijiji/ad`	1	Read one Kijiji ad from its id or URL. You get the asking price, the title, and the city.
Kijiji Search API	`/v2/kijiji/search`	1	Search Kijiji with a results URL or a city and category. Language can be English or French. Page through classified ads.

How it works

Create a free Piloterr account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
Send a GET (or POST) request to https://api.piloterr.com/v2/... with the header x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY.
Receive structured JSON — Piloterr handles rendering, proxies, retries and parsing.

export PILOTERR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
pip install requests        # Python
# TypeScript: Node.js 18+ (native fetch), run with `npx tsx file.ts`

Every endpoint accepts both GET (query string) and POST (JSON body with the same fields).

Kijiji Ad API

Read one Kijiji ad from its id or URL. You get the asking price, the title, and the city.

GET | POST https://api.piloterr.com/v2/kijiji/ad · 1 credit per request · Full reference

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	✅	Full Kijiji listing URL or the numeric listing id.
`language`	string	—	Locale sent to Kijiji as the siteLocale cookie. `en` sets en-CA and prints `$20`. `fr` sets fr-CA and prints `20 $` on the same ad.

Python example

import json
import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.piloterr.com/v2/kijiji/ad",
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["PILOTERR_API_KEY"]},

    },
    timeout=120,
)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()

print(json.dumps(data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)[:2000])

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Kijiji?

Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed in many jurisdictions, but rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Avoid personal data unless you have a lawful basis, respect the website's terms where they apply, and get legal advice for your specific use case. This is not legal advice.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. Piloterr handles rendering, proxy rotation and retries on its side. You only send an HTTPS request with your x-api-key header and receive JSON.

How much does a request cost?

Credits per call: /v2/kijiji/ad 1, /v2/kijiji/search 1. See the Piloterr website for plans.

What data does the Kijiji API return?

Each endpoint returns structured JSON: Kijiji Ad — id, url, price, title, views, images; Kijiji Search — results[], results[].id, results[].url, results[].image, results[].price, results[].title.

How do I paginate Kijiji results?

Use the page parameter and keep requesting while the response indicates more results.

Can I target a specific country or language?

Yes, use language — see the parameter tables above for accepted values.

Which languages are supported?

Any language that can make an HTTP request. This README shows Python and TypeScript; the examples/ folder contains cURL, PHP, C#, Go, Java, Ruby and Node.js.
