POST /api/kijiji/listings

Price: 1 credit

Get full Kijiji listing details by listing ID (or listing URL): title, description, price, view count, location with coordinates, images, seller info and the category-specific attributes (vehicle make/model/mileage/condition, real estate bedrooms/bathrooms/neighbourhood, and so on).

How to use it

Fetch a single Kijiji (Canada) classified listing by numeric listing ID or listing URL. Returns one listing with title, description, status, price (CAD dollars) with original_price/msrp/price_rating, view_count, created_at/updated_at/expires_at (unix seconds), images, location (address, coordinates, neighbourhood), seller (id/type/verified), and attributes: a list of {canonical_name, name, values, canonical_values} carrying the vertical-specific specs. Cars add mileage_analysis; real estate adds virtual_tour_url, mls_ad, rental_badge and a neighbourhood profile with walk/transit/cycle scores.

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — Listing not found (well-formed but nonexistent, expired or removed listing ID) Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
