About Mercado Libre

Mercado Libre is the largest e-commerce marketplace in Latin America, operating country sites such as mercadolibre.com.ar and mercadolibre.com.mx across electronics, fashion, home, and vehicles. Individual product detail pages carry pricing, seller reputation, shipping, and reviews worth scraping for marketplace intelligence.

Scraping note: Currency, language, and item-ID prefixes differ per country domain (for example MLA for Argentina, MLM for Mexico), so target the correct regional site for each product.

https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-000000000-EXAMPLE-PRODUCT

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Mercado Libre Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Mercado Libre?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Mercado Libre data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Mercado Libre's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Mercado Libre without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Mercado Libre without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Mercado Libre's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Mercado Libre Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Mercado Libre page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Mercado Libre Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Mercado Libre Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Mercado Libre account or login?

expand_more
No Mercado Libre login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Mercado Libre URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Mercado Libre credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
