Input Format

The scraper accepts JSON configuration with three key components:

Input:

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "SG"
  },
  "urls": [
    "https://www.olx.in/item/cars-c84-used-mercedes-benz-s-class-in-vile-parle-east-mumbai-iid-1789761878",
    "https://www.olx.pl/d/oferta/skradziono-rower-merida-reacto-6000-w-warszawie-2-500-dla-znalazcy-CID767-IDN44O5.html",

  ]
}

max_retries_per_url: Specifies retry attempts (0-5 recommended) when accessing URLs fails due to network issues or temporary blocks. Higher values ensure better success rates but increase processing time.

proxy: Essential for avoiding detection and blocks. The tool supports residential proxies which appear as regular users. The country parameter should match your target OLX domain (e.g., "IN" for olx.in, "PL" for olx.pl) to avoid geo-restrictions.

urls: Array of complete OLX product page URLs. Each URL must be a direct product listing page, not category or search pages. The tool supports unlimited URLs per batch, though larger batches require longer processing times.

The scraper returns comprehensive product data in structured JSON format:

ID: Unique OLX identifier extracted from the URL, useful for tracking and deduplication.

Name: Product title as listed by the seller, crucial for categorization and search optimization.

Description: Full product description containing condition details, specifications, and seller notes - valuable for sentiment analysis and product assessment.

Details: Structured key-value pairs of product specifications (varies by category). For cars: year, fuel type, transmission. For electronics: brand, model, condition. This standardized format enables easy filtering and comparison.

Category: OLX's product category classification, essential for market segmentation analysis.

Total Views: Indicates product popularity and market demand - higher views often correlate with competitive pricing or high-demand items.

Location: Geographic data for regional market analysis and logistics planning.

Price/Currency: Critical for competitive analysis, pricing strategies, and market research. Currency is automatically detected based on the OLX domain.

Seller Information: Distinguishes between individual sellers and professional dealers, affecting trust factors and negotiation strategies.

Usage Guide

1. Prepare Target URLs: Collect OLX product page URLs from your target domains. Ensure URLs are complete product listing pages, not search results or category pages.

2. Configure Proxy Settings: Select proxy country matching your target OLX domain to avoid geo-restrictions. Use residential proxies for better success rates and lower detection risks.

3. Set Retry Parameters: Configure max_retries_per_url based on your reliability requirements. Higher values (3-5) recommended for critical data collection projects.

4. Monitor Processing: Large batches may take considerable time. The tool processes URLs sequentially to maintain stability and avoid triggering anti-bot measures.

Best Practices: Start with small batches (10-20 URLs) to test configuration. Use delays between large batches to maintain account health. Regularly update proxy configurations for optimal performance.

Common Issues: Invalid URLs return empty results. Network timeouts require higher retry values. Geo-blocked requests need proper proxy country configuration.
