Kijiji Autos Data Parser & API

Kijiji Autos is Canada’s leading dedicated auto classifieds portal — around 6-9M visits per month with a large inventory of dealer and private listings — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including spec, price, dealer details and seller type, through one REST API. Owned by Adevinta, Kijiji Autos is the dealer-focused complement to general Kijiji.ca, and Carapis delivers its data without you building or maintaining a DataDome-protected scraper.

What is Kijiji Autos?

Kijiji Autos is the dedicated automotive marketplace from Kijiji, owned by Adevinta. It draws roughly 6-9M visits per month (SimilarWeb, Sep 2025) across a large inventory of dealer and private-seller vehicles, with full specifications, pricing and photos. It is more structured and dealer-oriented than general Kijiji.ca, making it a primary Canadian listings source alongside AutoTrader.ca.

Market Position

Kijiji Autos draws ~6-9M visits per month (SimilarWeb, Sep 2025) and is one of the two pillars of Canadian car search alongside AutoTrader.ca. It belongs to the Adevinta / Kijiji ownership group, which also runs general Kijiji.ca — whose total vehicle traffic rivals or exceeds AutoTrader.ca. Together, Trader Corporation and the Adevinta/Kijiji group cover the vast majority of Canadian listings, so parsing both Kijiji properties plus AutoTrader.ca gives near-total Canada coverage.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Kijiji Autos listing:

  • Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, VIN
  • Condition — mileage and condition
  • Pricing — listed price
  • Specification — factory options and trim packages
  • Listing context — dealer or private seller type, location, photo gallery

The mix of structured dealer and private-seller listings gives broad Canadian coverage, with seller type letting buyers segment dealer vs C2C inventory.
