OLX India Listings Scraper

Export public OLX India classified listings into clean datasets. Search by keyword or run exact OLX India category/search URLs, then download listing prices, locations, seller labels, images, and product attributes as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, or through the Apify API.

What does this actor do?

OLX India Listings Scraper turns public OLX India search results and category URLs into structured marketplace data. It collects listing titles, prices, locations, seller labels, images, attributes, posting timestamps, and source URLs so you can analyze classifieds without manually copying results.

What you can do

• Monitor used-car, property, electronics, furniture, jobs, services, and other OLX India categories.
• Track asking prices and fresh inventory for resale, marketplace research, and local lead generation.
• Export public seller/location signals without opening chat, contact, or login-only flows.
• Build alerts and dashboards from repeatable keyword or URL inputs.

Who is it for

• Marketplace analysts comparing prices and listing supply across OLX India categories.
• Resellers and dealerships tracking public inventory and seller/location signals.
• Real estate, vehicle, electronics, and local-services teams building lead lists from public classifieds.
• Data teams that need repeatable OLX India exports for dashboards, alerts, or research workflows.

Pricing

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. The prices below come from the current Actor pricing configuration. Apify public plans map to Store discount tiers, so the table shows both the user-facing plan context and the pricing tier name. The final price shown in Apify depends on the user account plan and any custom agreement.

Event	What is charged	Price
start	One-time fee charged when a run starts. Covers fixed startup cost (init, proxy warmup, first HTTP setup).	$0.005

Event	What is charged	Free / no discount	Starter / Bronze	Scale / Silver	Business / Gold	Custom / Platinum	Custom / Diamond
result	Charged per OLX India listing extracted.	$0.12824 / 1,000	$0.11151 / 1,000	$0.08698 / 1,000	$0.06691 / 1,000	$0.04461 / 1,000	$0.03122 / 1,000

Apify may also charge platform usage for compute, storage, proxies, or data transfer outside this Actor pricing. Check the Actor run and the Apify Pricing tab for the exact cost shown to your account.

Tips and limits

• Keep first runs small, such as maxItems: 25, while you validate your keywords.
• Use exact startUrls for city/category/filter combinations copied from OLX India.
• Contact details, chat messages, private account pages, and login-only data are not collected.
• Public pages may change or block datacenter traffic; keep Apify Residential proxy enabled for reliable runs.

Legality

This actor collects publicly visible OLX India listing data. Do not use it to collect private account data, reveal contact details, bypass login-only flows, spam sellers, or violate OLX India terms or applicable law. Review your use case and retention policy before running large recurring jobs.

FAQ

Does this actor require an OLX account? No. It exports public listing data visible without logging in.

Can it reveal phone numbers or chat messages? No. Contact/chat flows are login-only or user-action flows and are intentionally out of scope.

Why is Residential proxy enabled by default? OLX India often blocks datacenter requests. Residential India proxy improves reliability for public listing pages.
