Mercado Libre Scraper — Products, Prices, Discounts & Sellers

Mercado Libre Scraper extracts product data from Mercado Libre by keyword: title, price, discount, installments, rating, condition, shipping, seller and images. It works across 17 Hispanic Latin American marketplaces — Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador — with no login, no cookies and no setup.

Each country has its own catalog, currency and prices. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, pull it through the API, schedule it, or feed it straight to an AI agent. Think of it as a Mercado Libre API for product data the official one doesn't give you.

Field notes

• productId: the Mercado Libre item ID, prefixed by marketplace (MLA Argentina, MLM Mexico, MCO Colombia, MLC Chile, MPE Peru, …). For sponsored ad placements it is recovered from the click-through URL parameters.
• currency: each country reports in its own local currency, so always read amounts together with this field.
• originalPrice / discount: null when the item is not on sale; use them to filter discounted listings.
• condition / highlight / coupon / variations: null when Mercado Libre doesn't expose them for that listing.
• freeShipping: true when the listing shows Envío gratis or Full.

FAQ

How does Mercado Libre Scraper work? It searches Mercado Libre exactly as a shopper would, reads each product card from the results, copies the visible data and organizes it into a structured dataset — only much faster, and at scale.

Which countries are supported? 17 Hispanic LATAM marketplaces: Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Set the country field to pick the marketplace. For Brazil (mercadolivre.com.br), use the dedicated Mercado Livre Scraper linked below.

Is it legal to scrape Mercado Libre? The actor collects only publicly available product information (no login, no personal data). As with any scraping, you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with applicable laws and terms. See Is web scraping legal?

Do I need a Mercado Libre account or login? No. No account, cookies or credentials — proxy and unblocking are handled automatically.

How many results can I get per run? Each search-result page returns up to ~48 products and the actor paginates across pages. Use maxItems and maxPages to control volume; for broad coverage, run several specific keywords or different sort orders.

Why are some fields null? Mercado Libre doesn't expose every field on every listing (e.g. condition, coupon, reviewCount). When a value isn't present on the card, the field is returned as null rather than a fabricated value.

Can I get the data through an API? Yes — run it via the Apify API/clients to start runs and fetch the dataset programmatically. See Integrations above.

Can I connect it to AI / MCP? Yes — expose it to ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants through the Apify MCP server so an AI agent can pull live product data on demand.
