Posting + Reposting an ad

Make sure you're in the correct directory before proceeding!

cd kijiji_repost_headless

To post item.inf:

python kijiji_cmd.py -u (username) -p (password) post item.inf

To repost item.inf (will delete the ad if it is already posted prior to posting):

python kijiji_cmd.py -u (username) -p (password) repost item.inf

To delete all ads:

python kijiji_cmd.py -u (username) -p (password) nuke

To delete one ad:

python kijiji_cmd.py -u (username) -p (password) delete (adId)

Alternatively, there are also commands for posting/reposting an ad from a folder, which is especially useful for saving you from re-entering your username/password

Inside your folder, include ALL photos, an item.inf ad file, and a login.inf file with the first line containing your Kijiji login email and the second line containing your Kijiji login password.

To post from folder:

python kijiji_cmd.py folder (folderName)

To repost from folder:

python kijiji_cmd.py repost_folder (folderName)
