Kijiji product data API

The ShopAPIS Kijiji product data API returns asking price, item condition, category, seller type, posting date, location and image URLs for any Kijiji listing — as clean JSON. Kijiji is Canada’s dominant classifieds and C2C marketplace and a consistent top-three Canadian traffic property, so it is the single richest source of used-goods and local-listing pricing in the country — data that has no equivalent on Amazon.ca or Walmart.ca.

Owned by Adevinta (the same group behind Leboncoin and Marktplaats), Kijiji spans vehicles, electronics, furniture, real-estate-adjacent goods and general second-hand inventory across every Canadian province. Because asking prices on classifieds are set listing-by-listing, the aggregate is a live signal of the Canadian resale market — but it sits behind a login-gated, app-leaning surface with no open listings API.

Why Kijiji data is hard to get

Kijiji has no public listings API and gates much of its detail behind anti-bot scoring and login walls, making parse difficulty medium for a classifieds platform. Listings are user-generated with inconsistent structure, contact details are masked, and high-volume access triggers behavioral challenges. ShopAPIS maintains the request infrastructure and normalizes each free-text listing into typed fields — price, condition, category and location — returned as flat JSON.

Data fields returned

• Identifiers — Kijiji listing ID, category ID, ad URL.
• Pricing — asking price, currency (CAD), “free” / “please contact” / “swap” flags.
• Condition — new, used, refurbished (where the seller specifies).
• Seller — private individual vs dealer/business account, seller display name.
• Location — province, city, neighbourhood, postal area.
• Attributes — category-specific fields (brand, model, year, size, etc.).
• Listing meta — posting date, last-bumped date, view count where shown.
• Media — image gallery URLs, listing title and description text.

Markets & domains covered

• Canada — kijiji.ca (CAD), with provincial sub-sites and the Kijiji Autos vertical.

Kijiji is Canada-specific; its sibling Adevinta classifieds (Leboncoin in France, Marktplaats in the Netherlands) run related stacks, so one parsing approach extends across the group.

Use cases

• Used-market price discovery — track real asking prices for second-hand goods across provinces. Feeds price monitoring.
• Resale arbitrage — spot under-priced electronics and furniture against retail. See competitive intelligence.
