## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## OLX.ba Scraper — Bosnia & Herzegovina Marketplace Listings

Scrapes **OLX.ba**, the largest classifieds marketplace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (6.8M+ live listings), and returns clean, structured rows — with two things most scrapers skip:

- **Prices in both BAM and EUR.** The convertible mark is pegged to the euro by currency board (1 EUR = 1.95583 BAM), so every listing gets an exact `priceEUR` you can compare against Croatian, Serbian or EU market data without a conversion step.
- **Real geography.** `city_id` is resolved to the actual **city, canton and entity** (Federation of BiH / Republika Srpska / Brcko District), plus coordinates — so you can map and segment listings immediately.

### Output

```json
{
  "id": 75998352,
  "title": "Volkswagen Golf 7 1.6 TDI",
  "url": "https://olx.ba/artikal/75998352",
  "priceBAM": 18500,
  "priceEUR": 9459.36,
  "condition": "used",
  "category": "Automobili",
  "topCategory": "Vozila",
  "city": "Sarajevo",
  "canton": "Kanton Sarajevo",
  "entity": "Federacija BiH",
  "latitude": 43.8562586,
  "longitude": 18.4130763,
  "sellerType": "shop",
  "shippingAvailable": false,
  "postedAt": "2026-08-18T01:32:07.000Z",
  "imageCount": 12,
  "images": ["https://…"]
}
```

With **Fetch listing details** enabled each row also gets `description`, `views`, `sellerUsername`, `quantity`, `urgent`, `highlighted` and the full `attributes` list (year, mileage, fuel, m², rooms… depending on category).

### Input

- **searchQuery** — keyword, e.g. `iphone 15`, `golf 7`, `stan`
- **categoryId** — optional, e.g. `18` Automobili, `31` Mobiteli, `39` Laptopi, `22` Bicikli
- **priceFrom / priceTo** — bounds in BAM
- **condition** — all / new / used
- **city** — substring filter on the resolved city name (`Sarajevo`, `Banja Luka`, `Mostar`…)
- **sortBy / sortOrder** — date or price, ascending or descending
- **fetchDetails** — richer rows, slower run
- **maxItems** — result cap

### Use cases

- **Price research & arbitrage:** compare BiH prices in EUR against neighbouring markets
- **Car and real-estate dealers:** track new inventory in your canton the minute it is posted
- **Market analytics:** listing volume, median price and seller mix (private vs shop) per category and city
- **Lead generation:** find shops and power sellers in a category
- **Monitoring:** schedule hourly with a narrow query and diff the `id` list to catch new listings

### Notes

Reads the site's own public JSON API — fast, stable and light on the source. Data is returned as published by sellers; OLX.ba does not verify listing content. Respect the marketplace's terms and applicable data protection rules when handling seller information.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Keyword to search for, e.g. "iphone 15", "golf 7", "stan sarajevo". Leave empty to browse a whole category.

## `categoryId` (type: `string`):

Optional OLX.ba category id to restrict the search. Examples: 18 = Automobili, 31 = Mobiteli, 39 = Laptopi, 22 = Bicikli, 1 = Vozila (all).

## `priceFrom` (type: `string`):

Lowest price in convertible marks (BAM/KM). Leave empty for no lower bound.

## `priceTo` (type: `string`):

Highest price in convertible marks (BAM/KM). Leave empty for no upper bound.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

Filter by item condition as declared by the seller.

## `city` (type: `string`):

Optional city filter, e.g. "Sarajevo", "Banja Luka", "Mostar". Case-insensitive substring match on the resolved city name.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Sort listings by publication date or by price.

## `sortOrder` (type: `string`):

Ascending or descending order for the chosen sort field.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open every listing to add description, view count, seller username, quantity and attribute list. Slower and costs more per run.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to store in the dataset.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy settings. The OLX.ba API is usually reachable without a proxy.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "iphone",
  "condition": "all",
  "sortBy": "date",
  "sortOrder": "desc",
  "fetchDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQuery": "iphone",
  "maxItems": 100
}' |
apify call gmpsignal/olx-ba-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/olx-ba-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
