Scrape public classifieds from OLX.ua search and category pages. The actor collects listing titles, prices, locations, seller names, photos, timestamps, category data, and OLX attributes into a clean dataset for market research, lead discovery, and price monitoring.

What does OLX Ukraine Classifieds Scraper do?

OLX Ukraine Classifieds Scraper turns public OLX.ua search results into structured JSON, CSV, Excel, or API output. Give it a keyword such as iphone, a public search URL, or a category URL, and it will paginate through OLX's public listing feed until it reaches your requested limit.

The actor is HTTP-based and designed for efficient extraction of listing-level data. It does not require an OLX account and does not scrape private messages, hidden phone numbers, or non-public user information.

How much does it cost to scrape OLX Ukraine listings?

For a first test, keep Maximum listings at the prefilled value of 20. For production monitoring, increase the limit to match the search volume you need.

How to scrape an OLX.ua category URL

When start URLs are provided, the actor uses those URLs instead of the keyword input.

Tips for better OLX.ua scraping

• 🎯 Use specific keywords such as iphone 13 київ instead of very broad searches when you want targeted output.
• 🗂️ Use category URLs when you want all listings from a section rather than one keyword.
• 🧪 Start with 20 listings to verify the dataset shape before running a large job.
• 🔁 Schedule the actor daily or hourly to monitor changing prices and new supply.
• 📍 Combine location words in the search query if the category URL is too broad.

Common use cases

• Monitor average used phone prices by model.
• Track apartments or houses in a specific city.
• Watch competitor inventory for local resellers.
• Build lead lists from public seller names and listing URLs.
• Detect promoted vs organic supply changes in a category.
• Export daily classifieds snapshots into a BI dashboard.

The actor works with standard Apify integrations:

• Dataset export to JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS.
• Webhooks to trigger a workflow when a run finishes.
• Google Sheets through Make, Zapier, or custom API code.
• Databases and warehouses by reading the dataset API.
• Monitoring workflows that compare today's dataset with yesterday's dataset.

Limitations

• The actor extracts public listing data available in OLX.ua search/API responses.

• Very broad searches may be limited by OLX's public pagination limits.
• Some fields are category-specific and appear only inside attributes.

Legality and responsible use

This actor is intended for scraping publicly available information from OLX.ua. You are responsible for ensuring that your use complies with applicable laws, OLX terms, privacy rules, and data protection obligations. Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, or unlawful profiling.

FAQ

Can I scrape phone numbers?

No. The actor does not log in, does not solve protected flows, and does not extract hidden phone numbers. It focuses on public listing metadata.

Why is a price missing?

Some OLX listings are free, exchange-only, negotiable, or do not expose a numeric price. In those cases, check priceDisplay and attributes.

Can I scrape multiple OLX URLs in one run?

Yes. Add multiple objects to startUrls. The actor deduplicates listings by listingId across sources.

What happens if OLX returns fewer listings than requested?

The actor stops when OLX pagination ends or when it reaches maxResults. Some narrow queries simply have fewer public listings.
