📌 Pe scurt (în română)

Acest Actor extrage anunțurile de autoturisme de pe olx.ro, câte un rând pentru fiecare anunț: marca, modelul, anul, rulajul, prețul (EUR și RON), combustibilul, cutia de viteze, caroseria, puterea, capacitatea motorului, culoarea, VIN-ul (când vânzătorul îl afișează), fotografiile, județul și orașul, plus datele vânzătorului (persoană fizică sau firmă).

• Filtre ca pe site: 134 de mărci, modele (de ex. „Logan”, „Seria 3”), toate cele 41 de județe, stare (nou / utilizat), combustibil, cutie de viteze, caroserie, culoare, volan, interval de an, preț, rulaj, putere și capacitate motor, tip vânzător, sortare.
• Lipești un link de căutare de pe olx.ro și primești exact acele anunțuri.
• Anunțurile preluate de pe Autovit sunt marcate (isAutovitCrossPost) și le poți exclude, ca să rămâi doar cu anunțurile publicate direct pe OLX (în mare parte persoane fizice).
• Verificare de preț: fiecare anunț este comparat cu mașini similare (aceeași marcă, model, an și rulaj apropiat) din aceeași rulare.
• Monitorizare: rulat periodic, îți arată doar anunțurile noi, scumpite / ieftinite sau dispărute și poate trimite un rezumat pe Slack, Discord, Make, n8n sau Zapier.

Plătești doar pentru anunțurile extrase: 1 USD la 1.000 de anunțuri, fără abonament și fără proxy. olx.ro afișează maximum 1.000 de anunțuri pe căutare; pentru mai multe, Actorul împarte automat căutarea pe mărci, ani și intervale de preț.

Instrument independent, neoficial. Nu are nicio legătură cu OLX, olx.ro sau Autovit.

👤 Who it's for

• 🏷️ Dealers and car flippers looking for private-seller cars priced under the market, by make, model and county, every morning.
• 🔎 Car buyers tracking a specific car (say, a 2016+ diesel Golf in Cluj) and wanting to know the moment a new one appears or a price drops.
• 📈 Market analysts and data teams who need Romanian used-car prices, supply and seller mix. Pair it with our Autovit.ro Used Car Listings Scraper for the dealer side, and use the Autovit flag here to avoid counting the same car twice.
• 🤖 AI and automation builders who want a compact, predictable car feed for an agent, a spreadsheet or a Make / n8n / Zapier flow.

---

✅ What you get

• ⚙️ Real car filters, applied by olx.ro itself. 134 brands, models by the name shown on olx.ro, 41 counties, condition, fuel (including plug-in hybrid), gearbox, body, colour, steering side, and year / price / mileage / power / engine-size ranges. No URL building, no numeric ids to look up.
• 🔗 Paste-a-search. Any olx.ro car search link from your browser works as input.
• 💶 Prices in both currencies. Each ad keeps the seller's own price and currency, plus olx.ro's conversion into the currency you pick (EUR or RON). Price filters work across both.
• 💸 Fair-price check. priceVsMedianPct and priceRating (very_good … very_high) compare each ad with similar cars in the same run. pricePrevious shows the price before the last price cut.
• 🔁 Autovit-aware. Roughly a third of olx.ro car ads are dealer ads mirrored from autovit.ro. Every row says whether it is one (isAutovitCrossPost, with the autovitUrl), and one switch removes them.
• 🧹 No duplicates, no strays. Promoted "top ads" that olx.ro repeats on every results page are returned only once, and ads olx.ro still files under a brand they don't belong to are skipped, so a brand search returns only that brand.
• 🔑 VIN on about half of the ads, whenever the seller shows it in the ad, in a clean vin field (no extra requests).
• 👤 Seller details. Name, company name, private or dealer, member since, last online, and whether phone and chat contact are offered.
• 📍 Location. City, district, county and map coordinates (olx.ro marks when the pin is only approximate).
• 🔔 Monitoring and alerts. Incremental mode returns only what changed since the last run, with a price history, and can post a summary of new ads and price drops to your webhook.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap by default. No proxy needed: 100 ads in a few seconds, and the prefilled test run finishes in well under a minute.
• 📦 Full or compact output. Every field, or 18 key fields for spreadsheets and AI tools.

📦 What's in scope

This Actor covers the Autoturisme (passenger cars) section of olx.ro, Romania only.

Section on olx.ro	Covered?
Autoturisme (passenger cars), new and used, private and dealer	✅ Yes
Autoutilitare (vans), Camioane (trucks), Motociclete, Rulote, Remorci	❌ No
Piese auto (parts), Închirieri (rentals)	❌ No
Other OLX countries (Poland, Bulgaria, Portugal…)	❌ No

About the 1,000-ad limit. olx.ro shows at most 1,000 ads for any one search. When you ask for more (via Max ads), the Actor splits your search: brand by brand (if you didn't choose a brand), then by year band, then by price band, and merges the results without duplicates. A very broad search can still leave some ads out if a single slice holds more than 1,000. The log tells you when that happens, and narrowing the filters picks up the rest. Pasted search links are collected as they are, so each link returns up to 1,000 ads.

---

⌨️ How to use it

1. Pick your search. Either fill in the filters (brand, model, county, year, price…), or paste one or more olx.ro search links under olx.ro search URLs. If links are set, the filters are ignored.
2. Set Max ads. The default is 100. Raise it for bigger pulls; you pay only for ads actually returned.
3. Run. Export the results to Excel, CSV or JSON, or pull them over the API.
4. Optional: schedule it with Incremental mode on to get only new and changed ads each time.

Values above are illustrative, not a real ad.

Ready-made dataset views

• Car ads: photo, title, make, model, year, km, fuel, gearbox, body, power, price, city, county, seller.
• Price check: price, converted price, price before cut, % vs similar cars, price rating.
• Sellers: seller, company, private or dealer, on olx.ro since, last online, phone / chat, Autovit mirror flag.
• Vehicle details: engine, power, gearbox, body, doors, colour, condition, registration, steering, VIN.
• Changes since last run: NEW / UPDATED / MISSING / REAPPEARED with first and last seen (monitoring).

Compact mode

outputMode: "compact" keeps 18 fields: offerId, url, country, title, price, currency, make, model, year, mileageKm, fuelType, transmission, bodyType, condition, description, engineCapacityCm3, powerHp, color. Seller, location, photos, fair-price and monitoring fields are left out. Combine it with descriptionMaxLength for small, token-friendly rows.

💸 Fair-price check

For every ad, the Actor looks at similar cars in the same run: same make and model, same 5-year band (e.g. 2015–2019) and same 50,000 km band. When at least 5 such cars are in the run, it compares the ad with their median price (in your price currency):

priceRating	priceVsMedianPct
very_good	15% or more below the median
good	5–15% below
fair	within ±5%
high	5–15% above
very_high	15% or more above

The check is only as good as the sample. It works best on a single make and model with a few hundred ads. On small or very mixed runs, many ads won't have 5 comparable cars and will come back without a rating. Condition, equipment and damage aren't part of the comparison, so read the ad before you call it a bargain.

---

🔁 Autovit mirrors

Dealers on autovit.ro can have their ads mirrored on olx.ro, so about 30–37% of olx.ro car ads are the same cars you would find on autovit.ro. Every row tells you which ones:

• isAutovitCrossPost: true and autovitUrl for mirrored ads.
• Skip ads mirrored from Autovit (excludeAutovitAds) keeps only ads posted directly on olx.ro. What's left is mostly private sellers, the part of the market you won't find on autovit.ro.

Need the dealer side too? Our Autovit.ro Used Car Listings Scraper covers autovit.ro in depth. Run both and use isAutovitCrossPost here to avoid counting a car twice.

---

🔑 VIN

About half of olx.ro car ads show a VIN, and the Actor returns it in vin whenever the seller shows it: no extra requests, no extra cost. Use it to check the car's history with a VIN report service of your choice, or to spot the same car listed twice.

---

🔔 Monitoring and alerts

Turn on Incremental mode and run the Actor on a schedule (hourly, daily…). Each run compares olx.ro with what it saw last time and returns only the changes:

changeType	Meaning
NEW	Ad seen for the first time.
UPDATED	Price or details changed. priceHistory lists the price seen on each run.
REAPPEARED	An ad that had disappeared is back (isRepost: true).
MISSING	Gone since last time, usually sold or expired (only with Also return disappeared ads).
UNCHANGED	Only with Also return unchanged ads.

• The first run builds the baseline: it remembers the current ads and returns no rows, so it costs nothing. Changes start from the second run.
• Use a different Monitor name (stateKey) for each search you track.
• If a run stops at Max ads, disappeared ads are not reported that time, to avoid false alarms. Give monitors a Max ads above the number of matching ads.
• Notify on builds a short summary of new ads and/or price drops (at least Minimum price drop (%)) at the end of each run. It is saved in the olx-ro-cars-notifications key-value store (digest-latest) and, if you set a Webhook URL, posted there as JSON. That works with Slack and Discord webhooks, Make, n8n, Zapier or your own endpoint. The webhook URL is stored as a secret input.

---

💰 Pricing

Pay per result: $1.00 per 1,000 ads ($0.001 per ad), with lower prices on higher Apify plans. Nothing else is charged.

• No start fee, no subscription, no proxy cost. A 100-ad run costs $0.10.
• You control the spend. Max ads caps each run, and the Actor respects your run's spending limit. It stops cleanly when the limit is reached, keeps what it collected, and doesn't crash.
• Monitoring is cheap. In incremental mode you pay only for rows returned (new and changed ads), and the baseline run is free.

❓ FAQ

How many ads can I get? As many as match your search. olx.ro shows up to 1,000 ads per search; above that, the Actor splits the search by brand, year and price band to go further. Pasted links return up to 1,000 ads each.

How fast is it? Very. It reads olx.ro's listing data 50 ads at a time: 100 ads take a few seconds, and a few thousand take a couple of minutes.

Do I need a proxy? No. olx.ro works without one, and the default is no proxy. Switch on Apify Proxy only if your runs ever start getting blocked.

Can I use my own olx.ro search? Yes. Set it up on olx.ro, copy the link from the address bar and paste it into olx.ro search URLs.

Why do some ads have no priceRating? The fair-price check needs at least 5 similar cars (same make, model, 5-year band and 50,000 km band) in the same run. Run a single make and model with a bigger Max ads to get more ratings.

Can I get only private sellers? Yes: set Seller to Private seller (Persoana fizica). Add Skip ads mirrored from Autovit to remove dealer mirrors too.

Does it return phone numbers? No. olx.ro shows the phone number only after a click on the ad, and the Actor doesn't do that. You get seller.hasPhone and seller.hasChat, which say whether the seller offers phone or chat contact, plus the seller's name, type and location.

What currency are prices in? price / currency are exactly what the seller listed (EUR or RON). priceConverted / priceCurrencyConverted give olx.ro's conversion into the currency you pick under Price currency.

Does it cover vans, motorcycles or other countries? No. It covers olx.ro passenger cars (Autoturisme) only.

Is collecting seller data allowed? The Actor collects only what olx.ro shows publicly. Seller names, locations and similar details can be personal data under the GDPR, so make sure you have a valid legal basis for how you use them.

Is it legal? It reads publicly available ads, without logging in and without getting past any access control, at a polite pace. You're responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and olx.ro's terms.
