Kijiji carries most of Canada's secondhand supply and it turns over fast, good listings gone by evening. Rows give price in cents, posting time, city and a flag for organic versus promoted top ads; 'please contact' listings stay honestly null-priced. No seller names or coordinates collected.

What you give it

Every field is optional unless marked; sensible defaults do the rest.

Field	Type	What it does	Default
`searchQuery`	string	What to search for on Kijiji, exactly as you would type it in the site's search box, e.g. "bike" or "iphone 15". Searches all of Canada. Leave it out when you only re-check ads through listingIds.	`bike`
`listingIds`	array	Re-check ads you already know instead of searching: one ad ID per line (the number at the end of every Kijiji ad address, and the `listingId` of every dataset item), the ad's full address, or its adId= link. Each one is read from its own page with the full description and the site's own `status`, whether or not Fetch full descriptions is on. An ad that is gone from the site is skipped, named in the log and not billed. When given, the search fields of this form are ignored and the run status says which. Up to 50.	`[]`
`priceMinCad`	integer	Only include listings costing at least this many Canadian dollars.	`-`
`priceMaxCad`	integer	Only include listings costing at most this many Canadian dollars.	`-`
`sortBy`	string	Order of results: date (newest first, best for monitoring), price_asc, price_desc, or relevance.	`date`
`postedAfter`	string	Only include listings posted on or after this date. With newest-first sorting the run stops early once older listings are reached. Format: `YYYY-MM-DD` (for example `2026-09-08`) or a full ISO timestamp such as `2026-09-08T14:30:00Z`. Slash dates like `08/09/2026` are refused on purpose: they are read as September in Europe and August in the United States, and this actor will not guess which you meant.	`-`
`postedBefore`	string	Only include listings posted on or before this date. Format: `YYYY-MM-DD` (for example `2026-09-08`) or a full ISO timestamp such as `2026-09-08T14:30:00Z`. Slash dates like `08/09/2026` are refused on purpose: they are read as September in Europe and August in the United States, and this actor will not guess which you meant.	`-`
`maxItems`	integer	Stop after this many listings. Free-plan runs are capped at 5 items. The form starts at 25 for a cheap first run - that is the form's prefill, not a cap on your plan; clear it to use the default of 1000.	`1000`
`scrapeDetails`	boolean	The search truncates the description to about 203 characters. Turn this on to read each ad's own page for the seller's full description. This makes one extra request per listing, so a run is slower and costs one more page fetch each. Only the description text reaches the output; the seller's name, phone and profile are never read. Leave off for a fast search-only sweep.	`False`
`reportFailures`	boolean	When a run fails, send the developer the actor name and build, an error category, the error message (truncated) and a one-way hash of your input - so a bug can be fixed without anyone asking you to reproduce it. Your input itself, your results and your identity are never sent, and successful runs send nothing at all. Switch this off and the actor behaves exactly the same.	`True`

What you get back
