Kijiji API

Robot to post ads on Kijiji.

This Python program allows you to automatically post ads on the [Kijiji] 1 advertisement community. Using a crontab, you can program it to post your ad regularly and make sure more users will see it.

Usage

First, store your Kijiji account username and password into the config.ini file.

To configure the script to post a specific ad, you need to post it once on Kijiji and save the POST vars sent by your browser when posting:

POST /c-PostAd HTTP/1.1

Save this POST vars into a file (let's say post-vars.txt). Here is an example showing how to format it:

CatId=650
RequestRefererUrl=%2C
ReformattedDesc=0
AdType=2
PriceAlternative=1
Price=20
Title=Great bike
Description=I'm selling my bike, it works great.<br><br>I also have a lock for it.
[email protected]
Phone=555-555-5555
MapAddress=Montréal, QC, Canada
AddressCity=Montréal
AddressRegion=QC
AddressConfidenceLevel=0
AddressCounty=CA
AddressSelectedByUser=true
featuredAdDuration=0

Then, use the following command to post your add:

$ ./kijijiapi.py post -i img1.jpg,img2.png post-vars.txt

assuming that your images to join with the ad are img1.jpg and img2.png, and your POST vars are in post-vars.txt.

Another way to include photos in your ad is to have them already posted on Kijiji and include their link in the POST vars file:

Photo=http://mypic1.jpg,http://$_18.JPG

If you want to list the ads you currently have on Kijiji, use:

$ ./kijijiapi.py list
