Kijiji API

Search Kijiji classified ads across Canada and pull full ad details as clean JSON.

The API.SH Kijiji API turns public Kijiji.ca classifieds into structured JSON. Search ads by keyword, category and location, with price range, radius around a point, seller type, price type and sort, and get each ad's price, photos, location, posting date and attributes, plus every filter the site offers. Open any ad for its full description, every attribute, views, end date and category path, and for business sellers the business profile. Private sellers' names, phone numbers and emails are never returned.

API.SH vs the official Kijiji API

Kijiji does not offer a public API for reading listings; the developer tools that exist are for posting and managing your own ads. API.SH works as a Kijiji listings API: public search and ad data as JSON, with no account.

Instead of keeping a kijiji-scraper npm package or Python script working, or picking among Apify actors, API.SH gives you one key, one JSON format and a fixed price per call.

Kijiji API questions

What Kijiji data can I get?+

Ad search by keyword, category and location with price, radius, seller type and sort filters, plus the full filter list (/kijiji/v1/search), and one ad with description, attributes, photos, views, dates, category path and business seller profile (/kijiji/v1/listing).

How much does the Kijiji API cost?+

Every Kijiji endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free Kijiji API?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /kijiji/v1/listing at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Kijiji API?+

Not for reading listings. Kijiji has no public listings API. API.SH reads public Kijiji.ca pages and returns them as JSON.

Do I need a Kijiji account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public ads only. No endpoint uses a login or anyone's account, and private sellers' names, phone numbers and email addresses are never returned.

Can I use the Kijiji API from Python?+

Yes. It is a plain HTTPS API that returns JSON, so it works from Python, Node.js or any language, and there is a Python SDK.

How do I search a specific city or category?+

Pass location_id and category to /kijiji/v1/search, or lat, lng and radius to search around a point. The filters field lists every category, location and attribute id the site offers for that search. Use page to read further results.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /kijiji/v1/search with q set to what you want to find. Every parameter is in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
