Kijiji (Canada) classified ads for a keyword, category and location, with price, radius around a point, seller type, price type and sort. Each result has price, photos, location, posting date, attributes and flags; filters lists every category, location and attribute value the site offers for the search (use their ids), top_ads the promoted ads. 40 per page. Private sellers' names, phone numbers and email addresses are never returned (masked in ad text).

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/kijiji/v1/search?q=iphone" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/kijiji/v1/search",
    params={"q": "iphone"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/kijiji/v1/search");
url.searchParams.set("q", "iphone");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
