OLX Car Scraper — Poland Car Listings

What does OLX Car Scraper do?

OLX Car Scraper extracts structured car listings from olx.pl — Poland's largest classifieds marketplace. Every result carries the full spec sheet: make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, body type, color, engine power/capacity, drivetrain, VIN and country of origin, taken straight from OLX's own listing data — no separate detail-page fetch required. Prices arrive structured in PLN with negotiable/arranged flags.

Filter by make, model, year, price, mileage, engine power, fuel type, transmission, body type, color, condition, country of origin, seller type and right-hand drive — or paste a search-results URL straight from your browser, or individual listing URLs to track specific cars. Incremental mode tracks new, price-changed and expired listings across runs, with the previous price and drop amount on every updated listing. Alerts go to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp or any webhook.

What data can you extract from OLX?

Each result includes core listing fields (title, price, dates, location, category), full vehicle specs (make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, body type, color, engine power/capacity, drivetrain, VIN, country of origin), seller details (name, type, business metadata), and contact-availability flags — all returned directly from the search response, with no separate detail-page fetch required. All fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• country — OLX country site to scrape. Poland (olx.pl) only for the passenger-car vertical in this release. (default: "PL")
• query — Free-text keyword(s) matched against listing titles (e.g. "uszkodzony", "zamiana", "faktura VAT"). Use a JSON array ["q1", "q2"] to batch multiple keywords in one run. Leave empty to browse the full market or rely on the structured filters below.
• startUrls — Paste an OLX car search-results URL straight from your browser (e.g. olx.pl/motoryzacja/samochody/... with any filters already applied in the URL). Each URL becomes its own task; results merge and dedupe with everything else in the run. (default: [])
• make — Vehicle make(s), e.g. "Ford", "Volkswagen", "BMW". Common aliases are recognized ("vw" → Volkswagen, "mercedes" → Mercedes-Benz). Each make also narrows the search to its OLX subcategory for faster, more precise results. Add several to search multiple makes in one run.
• model — Model(s) within the selected make(s), e.g. "focus", "golf", "a4". Free text — only narrows results when it matches OLX's own model value for that make. Leave empty to include every model.
• yearMin — Minimum production year (inclusive).
• yearMax — Maximum production year (inclusive).
• priceMin — Minimum asking price in PLN (inclusive).
• priceMax — Maximum asking price in PLN (inclusive).
• mileageMax — Only listings with mileage at or below this value (kilometers).
• enginePowerMin — Minimum engine power in horsepower (inclusive).
• enginePowerMax — Maximum engine power in horsepower (inclusive).
• ...and 48 more parameters

Input examples

Search by make and model — Filter to specific vehicles across the whole Polish market.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "make": [
    "Ford"
  ],
  "model": [
    "focus"
  ],
  "country": "PL",
  "maxResults": 25
}

Scrape the whole market (unlimited) — Set maxResults to 0 for no cap. Since billing is per result, a broad unlimited run can return — and charge for — many thousands of listings; add filters or a maxResults number to bound the cost.

→ Every matching listing on OLX, newest first, with the full vehicle spec sheet on each.

{
  "make": [
    "BMW"
  ],
  "country": "PL",
  "maxResults": 0
}

Free-text keyword search — Match listing titles against a free-text term instead of structured filters.

→ Full payload per result — every matching listing with all standard fields populated.

{
  "query": "uszkodzony",
  "country": "PL",
  "maxResults": 25
}

Incremental price-drop monitor — Only emit vehicles that are new or changed since the previous run with this stateKey — includes price-drop tracking.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed, with the previous price and drop amount on updated listings.

{
  "make": [
    "BMW"
  ],
  "country": "PL",
  "maxResults": 25,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "bmw-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "priceMax": 20000,
  "country": "PL",
  "maxResults": 25,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured listing records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How to scrape OLX

1. Go to OLX Car Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Use cases

• Extract listing data from OLX for market research and competitive analysis.
• Track pricing trends across regions and categories over time.
• Monitor new and changed vehicles on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• Use structured location data for regional analysis, mapping, and geo-targeting.
• Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
• Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.

How much does it cost to scrape OLX?

OLX Car Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.002 per listing record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.025
• 25 results: $0.055
• 100 results: $0.21
• 200 results: $0.41
• 500 results: $1

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of vehicles that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 200 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.41	$0.03	$0.38 (94%)	$0.75
15% — moderate broad query	$0.41	$0.07	$0.34 (84%)	$1.95
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.41	$0.13	$0.28 (69%)	$3.75

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $12.15. First month with incremental costs $1.13 / $2.29 / $4.03 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage (compute and proxies) is billed separately by Apify based on actual consumption. Incremental runs consume less on result processing, though fixed per-run overhead stays the same.

FAQ

How many results can I get from OLX?
