Kijiji Repost Headless

Build Status

Post ads on Kijiji

Setup

  • This project requires python3 with: python-requests, bs4, pyyaml
  • Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies

Requirements

  • The program currently requires that you post at LEAST one photo
  • As per Kijiji requirements, the item description must be at least 10 characters

Usage

Getting your SSID

Before posting an ad, you will need to manually get your Kijiji SSID.

  1. Log into Kijiji in your browser. Make sure "remember me" is checked.
  2. Inspect the cookies that have been set by Kijiji for your browser.
  3. Find the cookie named "ssid" and copy its value.
  4. Paste the value into the "ssid.txt" file.

Generating an ad posting file

  • Generate a posting file (item.yml) with the command python kijiji_repost_headless build_ad and follow the prompts
  • Place all photo dependencies in the path RELATIVE to item.yml
  • It is recommended that you create separate folders for each ad that you wish to post and include item.yml and photos in the same directory

Posting and Reposting an ad

Post one ad (item.yml):

python kijiji_repost_headless [-s ssid_file] post myproduct/item.yml

Repost one ad (item.yml); will delete the ad prior to posting if it already exists:

python kijiji_repost_headless [-s ssid_file] repost myproduct/item.yml

Show all active ads:

python kijiji_repost_headless [-s ssid_file] show

Delete all ads:

python kijiji_repost_headless [-s ssid_file] nuke

Delete one ad (using ad id):

python kijiji_repost_headless [-s ssid_file] delete myAdId
