A Mercado Libre Scraper Run as a Managed Service

MercadoLibre scraping is sold here as a service, not as a tool. You name the scope - which country sites, which categories, search terms, brands, sellers or tiendas oficiales, and how often - and we build the crawlers, run them and repair them when Mercado Libre changes a page. Each site is collected on its own domain and in its own currency, with the delivery location you specify, because shipping cost and delivery time on Mercado Libre depend on the postcode or city a visitor enters.

Pacing, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling and rendering are part of the service. We never log in: the dataset holds what the site shows a visitor without an account. Results arrive as CSV, Excel or JSON files, through our API or as a load into your database, once or on a daily or weekly schedule, with field documentation attached.

MercadoLibre Dataset: Fields We Collect

Two kinds of page carry the goods, and the dataset keeps them apart. A catalogue product page, whose address ends in /p/ and an id, gathers every seller offering the same item and puts one of them behind the Comprar button. An ordinary listing belongs to a single seller. Both ids open with the site prefix - MLM in Mexico, MLA in Argentina, MCO in Colombia, MLC in Chile - so a row always says which country it came from.

  • Identity - product id, listing id, URL, country site and category path.
  • Product - title, brand, condition (new, used or reacondicionado), the attribute table under Características del producto, description, photos and variants, such as the "Disponible en 4 colores" line on a card.
  • Price - current price in local currency, the crossed-out original, the discount shown as a percentage OFF, and the lower price or extra discount a coupon gives ("con Cupón").
  • Installments - the number of payments, the amount of each and whether they are interest-free: meses sin intereses in Mexico, cuotas sin interés in Colombia.
  • Shipping - the Envío gratis (free shipping) flag, the FULL badge on orders dispatched by Mercado Libre's own fulfilment service, and delivery cost and time for the location you set.
  • Demand - the sold counter, published in bands such as +5mil vendidos, and highlight tags like MÁS VENDIDO and OFERTA DEL DÍA.
  • Buyer feedback - star rating, number of ratings, review text, and the questions buyers put to the seller with the answers given.
  • Seller - seller name, the reputation colour on a scale that runs from red to green, the MercadoLíder, Gold or Platinum medal, and the Tienda oficial flag.
  • Buying options - the featured seller of a catalogue product and the other sellers listed under "Otras opciones de compra", each with price and conditions.

Titles, attributes and questions stay in Spanish exactly as published; column names and the documentation are in English.

MercadoLibre Price Tracker, Stores and Rankings

MercadoLibre Price Tracker, Stores and Rankings

A single page is one seller at one moment. Most questions asked of this marketplace need the pages around it and the same page a day later.

  • Search and category coverage. We start from your search terms or from the category tree and return every card with its position, so share of search results can be measured by brand, seller or store. Category names change by country - laptops are Laptops in Mexico, Notebooks in Chile and Portátiles in Colombia - so every row keeps the category path of its own site.
  • Store pages. Each large site has a Tiendas oficiales directory arranged by category. A store page gives one brand's full assortment with prices, discounts and the store's follower count.
  • Rankings and deals. Más vendidos lists the best sellers of each category; Ofertas and Cupones show what is being promoted right now.
  • Price history. Mercado Libre itself says the featured seller of a catalogue product changes constantly. Repeated runs keyed on the product id record who held the button, at what price and with which shipping promise, and date each step of the banded sold counter from one band to the next.
  • Reviews. Ratings and review text are collected; reviewers' names are personal data and are left out by default.

About Mercado Libre and Its Country Sites

Mercado Libre - often written MercadoLibre, as in its domain names - lists eighteen country sites on mercadolibre.com. Seventeen are in Spanish, from Argentina and Mexico to Honduras and the Dominican Republic; the Brazilian site, mercadolivre.com.br, is in Portuguese and we collect it as a separate project. Every site has its own domain, catalogue, sellers and currency - Mexican, Argentine, Colombian, Chilean and Uruguayan pesos, Peruvian soles, and US dollars in Ecuador, Panama and El Salvador.

The sites fall into two groups. Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Peru and Ecuador are full marketplaces with Ofertas, Cupones, Tiendas oficiales, Más vendidos and the Compra protegida returns promise; five of them - all but Peru and Ecuador - add Supermercado, an international section and the Meli+ subscription. Bolivia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic still work as classifieds, where buyer and seller arrange payment and delivery themselves. Venezuela sits in between, with store and offer sections but seller-arranged delivery.

Beside products, every site keeps vehicle, real estate (Inmuebles) and Servicios sections, which are classified adverts with fields of their own. Wording follows the country too: the Argentine and Uruguayan sites address the shopper as vos, and each site names its own sale seasons - Buen Fin in Mexico, Cyber Day in Chile, Cyber Wow in Peru.

Why Scrape Mercado Libre Country by Country

Because the answer changes at every border. The same phone is a different listing, in a different currency, from a different seller, on a different installment plan in each country, and nothing on the sites joins them. Collecting site by site and matching the rows afterwards is the only way to compare.

  • Price monitoring. On a catalogue product several sellers quote for one item. Tracking the featured seller and the other buying options shows who undercuts whom and which price wins the button.
  • Brand protection. The Tienda oficial flag and the reputation colour separate a brand's own store and trusted resellers from everyone else offering its goods.
  • Promotion calendar. Crossed-out prices, coupon prices and interest-free installments recorded daily through Hot Sale or Buen Fin show how deep each event really cut.
  • Demand and assortment. Sold counters, ratings and Más vendidos ranks show what moves in a category before you list in it.
  • Logistics benchmarking. The share of cards with free shipping and the FULL badge tells a seller what delivery standard a category expects.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency: you describe the data, we build and run the crawlers and deliver the dataset. Mercado Libre is a marketplace in some countries and a classifieds board in others, so we crawl each site the way it works and deliver all of them in one schema. A project starts with a free assessment of your scope and, if you wish, a sample. Personal data is handled under GDPR, and we do not sell personal contact lists or dossiers on people.

FAQ

Do you offer a MercadoLibre API for product and seller data?

Yes. The ScrapeIt MercadoLibre API returns product id, price, crossed-out original, sold counter, seller name and reputation colour for each country site as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or straight into your database.

Is it legal to scrape MercadoLibre?

Yes. Listings, prices, installment plans, sold counters and seller reputation are shown to every visitor of the country sites. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on MercadoLibre - and we collect it legally. We never log in, and names of reviewers and private sellers' phone numbers are left out by default.

Which countries does your MercadoLibre data cover?

All seventeen Spanish-language sites, from mercadolibre.com.mx and mercadolibre.com.ar to mercadolibre.com.do. You can order one country or several; every row carries the site, the local currency and the id prefix, so Mexico and Colombia sit in one table without being confused. The smaller classifieds-style sites, from Bolivia to the Dominican Republic, are covered as well.

How often do you track Mercado Libre prices?

You set the schedule: daily is the usual choice for price monitoring, weekly for assortment studies, on demand for a one-off extract. On catalogue products the featured seller keeps changing, so for those we can run several times a day during a sale season. Each run is stored with its timestamp, which is what turns snapshots into a price history.

Can you show which seller holds the Comprar button on a product page?

Yes. For every catalogue product we record the featured seller with its price, shipping conditions and reputation, and the full list under "Otras opciones de compra" with the same fields. Run on a schedule, that gives the share of time each seller, your own store included, spent in first place.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
