## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?

### What does OLX Jobs Scraper do?
OLX Jobs Scraper extracts structured job data from 7 OLX country sites: [olx.pl](https://olx.pl), [olx.ro](https://olx.ro), [olx.pt](https://olx.pt), [olx.ua](https://olx.ua), [olx.uz](https://olx.uz), [olx.bg](https://olx.bg), and [olx.kz](https://olx.kz). Pick the country via the `country` input. City names work in local Cyrillic (Київ, София, Алматы) or Latin transliteration (Kyiv, Sofia, Almaty). Outputs include salary data, contact details, company metadata, full descriptions, remote-work indicators, and location data. The actor supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time.
**New to Apify?** [Sign up free](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi) and use the included $5 monthly platform credit to test this actor.
### Key features
- **♻️ Incremental mode** — recurring runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records — UNCHANGED and EXPIRED are opt-in. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit and charge only for the diff. Pair with notifications for daily "new jobs" alerts to your hiring team. Saves 80–95% on daily monitoring.
- **🌎 7-market coverage** — pick country at run start across 7 OLX sites: Poland (olx.pl), Romania (olx.ro), Portugal (olx.pt), Ukraine (olx.ua), Uzbekistan (olx.uz), Bulgaria (olx.bg), and Kazakhstan (olx.kz). City names accepted in local Cyrillic or Latin transliteration.
- **🔔 Notifications** — Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, generic webhook — out of the box. Pair with incremental + `notifyOnlyChanges` for daily "new Olx jobs" pings to your hiring channel.
- **🔗 Paste-mode** — paste any OLX URL straight from your browser — works for all 7 supported country sites (olx.pl/ro/pt/ua/uz/bg/kz). Single-listing pages, search-results URLs, or category SEO URLs. Mix freely with `query` keywords and post-fetch filters.
- **📧 Email + phone extraction** — every record carries `extractedEmails[]` and `extractedPhones[]` regex-pulled from the description — direct-outreach lists with no extra processing step.
- **🔗 URL + social-profile extraction** — every record carries `extractedUrls[]` and structured `socialProfiles { linkedin, twitter, github, … }` parsed from the description — useful when employers drop their careers page or recruiter LinkedIn in-line.
- **📦 Compact mode** — AI-agent and MCP-friendly compact payloads with core fields only — pipe straight into your ATS, salary-benchmarking tool, or LLM context without parsing extras.
- **✂️ Description truncation** — cap description length with `descriptionMaxLength` to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
- **📤 Export anywhere** — Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, …).
### What data can you extract from OLX?
Each result includes Core listing fields (`jobId`, `olxId`, `title`, `portalUrl`, `externalUrl`, `datePosted`, `lastRefreshedAt`, and `pushedAt`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`description`, `descriptionText`, `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown`, and `descriptionLength`), contact information (`contactPhoneAvailable`, `contactChatEnabled`, `extractedEmails`, and `extractedPhones`), and company metadata (`companyId`, `companyName`, `companyLegalName`, and `companyLogo`). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.
Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions, company metadata, and contact information where the source provides them.
### 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. (default: `"PL"`)
- **`query`** — Keyword(s) (e.g. "developer", "programista", "vânzător"). Use JSON array ["q1", "q2"] to iterate multiple keywords. Leave empty to browse all postings in the chosen category.
- **`startUrls`** — Paste country-specific OLX job search URLs (e.g. olx.pl/praca/..., olx.ro/locuri-de-munca/..., olx.ua/uk/rabota/...). Each URL becomes its own task; results merged + deduped across all URLs. (default: `[]`)
- **`categoryId`** — OLX category ID. PL/RO use parent ID 4, PT uses 190; UA/UZ/BG/KZ have fragmented taxonomy with multiple jobs subcategory IDs (the actor fans out across them automatically). Use JSON array to iterate multiple. Subcategory IDs (e.g. 2515 = IT on olx.pl) extend coverage beyond the 1000-offer cap per category. Leave empty for the country's default jobs scope.
- **`cityId`** — OLX numeric city ID (e.g. 17871=Warszawa, 1=Bucuresti, 268=Київ, 4=Toshkent, 8771=София, 1=Алматы). Trump card — when set, cityName, lat/lon, and country are ignored. City IDs are country-scoped — pair with the matching country. Most users should leave this empty and use cityName instead.
- **`cityName`** — City name in local script or Latin (e.g. "Warszawa", "Bucuresti", "Київ" / "Kyiv", "Toshkent", "София" / "Sofia", "Алматы" / "Almaty"). Resolved to OLX city ID via the chosen country's dictionary. Country-aware transliteration handles Cyrillic (Ukrainian National 2010, Bulgarian Streamlined 2009, Russian + Kazakh for KZ). Ignored if cityId is set.
- **`lat`** — GPS latitude. Pair with lon. Ignored if cityId or cityName is set. Resolved to nearest known OLX city by GPS-bbox or distance tiers (5/20/50km).
- **`lon`** — GPS longitude. Pair with lat.
- **`radiusKm`** — Search radius in kilometers around the resolved city. 0–500. OLX-native unit. Mutually exclusive with radiusMiles.
- **`radiusMiles`** — Search radius in miles. Converted to OLX km internally. Mutually exclusive with radiusKm.
- **`allowLowConfidence`** — When true, accept fuzzy-match or GPS-within-50km city resolutions instead of failing. Default false (fail loudly to prevent silent wrong-city results). (default: `false`)
- **`compactKeepResolvedLocation`** — By default, compact mode omits resolvedLocation. Set true to keep it for audit even in compact output. (default: `false`)
- ...and 31 more parameters
### Input examples
**Basic search** — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.
→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.
```json
{
"query": "software engineer",
"maxResults": 50
}
````
**Incremental tracking** — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this `stateKey`.
→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set `emitUnchanged: true` to include unchanged records as well.
```json
{
"query": "software engineer",
"maxResults": 200,
"incrementalMode": true,
"stateKey": "software-engineer-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.
```json
{
"query": "software engineer",
"maxResults": 50,
"compact": true
}
```
### Output
Each run produces a dataset of structured job records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

### Incremental fields
When `incremental: true`, 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 Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/olx-jobs-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console.
2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter.
3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need.
4. Enable `includeDetails` if you need full descriptions, contact info, company data.
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
### Use cases
- Extract job data from OLX for market research and competitive analysis.
- Track salary trends across regions and categories over time.
- Monitor new and changed listings on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
- Build outreach lists using contact details and apply URLs from listings.
- Research company hiring patterns, employer profiles, and industry distribution.
- 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 Jobs Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/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:** $0.0015 per job record
Example costs:
- 10 results: **$0.02**
- 25 results: **$0.04**
- 100 results: **$0.15**
- 200 results: **$0.3**
- 500 results: **$0.76**
#### Example: recurring monitoring savings
These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings 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 | $0.30 | $0.02 | $0.28 (93%) | $0.60 |
| 15% — moderate broad query | $0.30 | $0.05 | $0.26 (84%) | $1.50 |
| 30% — high-volume aggregator | $0.30 | $0.10 | $0.21 (69%) | $2.85 |
Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $9.15. First month with incremental costs $0.89 / $1.75 / $3.06 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?
The number of results depends on the search query and available listings on OLX. Use the `maxResults` parameter to control how many results are returned per run.
#### Does OLX Jobs Scraper support recurring monitoring?
Yes. Enable incremental mode to only receive new or changed listings on subsequent runs. This is ideal for scheduled monitoring where you want to track changes over time without re-processing the full dataset.
#### Can I integrate OLX Jobs Scraper with other apps?
Yes. OLX Jobs Scraper works with Apify's [integrations](https://apify.com/integrations?fpr=1h3gvi) to connect with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, and more. You can also use webhooks to trigger actions when a run completes.
#### Can I use OLX Jobs Scraper with the Apify API?
Yes. You can start runs, manage inputs, and retrieve results programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Client libraries are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages.
#### Can I use OLX Jobs Scraper through an MCP Server?
Yes. Apify provides an [MCP Server](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server?fpr=1h3gvi) that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact mode and `descriptionMaxLength` to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.
#### Is it legal to scrape OLX?
This actor extracts publicly available data from OLX. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.

# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"maxResults": 5
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("blackfalcondata/olx-jobs-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});

## Python example
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("")
# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "maxResults": 5 }
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("blackfalcondata/olx-jobs-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
