Mercadolibre vs OLX Poland

Mercadolibre

Mercado Libre exposes a large REST surface across its Latin American marketplace sites, covering listings, orders, ads, and shipping. Two read-only lookups work without a token: a category by ID, such as `/categories/MLA1051`, and `/sites/{site}/domain_discovery/search`. Everything else, including site lists, currencies, item listings and search, needs an OAuth2 access token from the authorization-code flow. The API itself carries no direct usage fee. Mercado Libre monetizes through marketplace and payment commissions instead.

OLX Poland

OLX Poland's Partner API lets approved integrators create and manage classified-ad listings and handle buyer/seller messaging programmatically. Access runs on an OAuth2 client-credentials flow, confirmed live by an invalid_client error from the real token endpoint, and the older v1 REST resource has been explicitly deprecated in favor of this OAuth-secured surface. Developer access comes through an application and approval process rather than a published self-serve fee.
