## 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 and Herzegovina Marketplace Listings

Scrape classified ads from **OLX.ba**, Bosnia and Herzegovina's largest online marketplace, into clean, structured **JSON, CSV or Excel**. Search any **keyword** — or paste an OLX.ba URL — and pull every listing across cars, phones, real estate, electronics, fashion and more, **one tidy row per ad**: **title, price in KM, category, city, images and the listing URL**. Built for price tracking, market research, competitive analysis and automations.

### Features

- 🛒 **Every category** — cars, mobile phones, real estate, electronics, home, fashion, jobs and services, all from one Actor.
- 🔎 **Keyword search** — run one or many keywords at once (e.g. `iphone`, `golf 7`, `stan sarajevo`); each returns its own matching ads.
- 🔗 **Paste-a-URL** — drop in any OLX.ba search or category link and the Actor scrapes it end to end.
- 🗂️ **Category filter** — restrict a search to a single category by its ID (e.g. cars, real estate).
- 💰 **Prices in KM** — the numeric price is parsed for you, plus the displayed price text and any discount.
- 🖼️ **Images** — the main image plus the full gallery URL list for every ad.
- 🔗 **Direct ad URL** — a ready-to-open link to each listing on OLX.ba.
- 📄 **Volume control** — set `maxItems` to balance coverage and cost.

### Input

```json
{
  "queries": ["iphone", "golf 7"],
  "categoryId": 18,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `queries` | One or more keywords to search. Each runs its own search and results are combined. |
| `startUrls` | Optional. OLX.ba search or category page URLs to scrape (e.g. `https://olx.ba/pretraga?q=iphone`). Scraped in addition to any keywords. |
| `categoryId` | Optional. Restrict every keyword search to one category by its numeric ID (e.g. `18` for cars). |
| `maxItems` | Maximum ads to collect across all searches (0 = no limit). |
| `maxConcurrency` | How many requests to run in parallel. Leave at the default unless you have a reason to change it. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Proxy settings. Not required by default. |

#### How to search

Enter one or more `queries` and run to collect matching ads. Add a `categoryId` to focus on one section of the marketplace, or paste `startUrls` straight from your browser. Set `maxItems` to control how much you collect.

### Use cases

- Track prices for cars, phones or property across Bosnia and Herzegovina over time.
- Build and refresh a classifieds dataset for market and demand analysis.
- Monitor new listings for specific keywords and categories.
- Generate lead lists of sellers by category.
- Feed structured ad records into a CRM, spreadsheet or analytics pipeline.

### What you get

Each ad is one dataset record:

### FAQ

**Do I need an OLX.ba account?**
No. Just enter a keyword and run.

**Can I search a specific category?**
Yes. Set `categoryId` to a category's numeric ID, or paste a category URL into `startUrls`.

**In what currency are prices?**
Prices are in the Bosnian convertible mark (KM / `BAM`). The numeric `price` is parsed for you; `displayPrice` keeps the original as displayed.

**How many ads can I collect?**
As many as your search returns. Use `maxItems` to control volume and cost.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, plus the Apify API for programmatic access.

**Can I use this with n8n?**
Yes. Use the [Apify node for n8n](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/n8n) to run this Actor and pull its dataset straight into an n8n workflow — trigger it on a schedule, then route the ad rows to a database, spreadsheet or messaging step.

**Can I connect it to other tools?**
This Actor connects with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations). It works with [Make](https://apify.com/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations/zapier), [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack), [Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte), [GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github), [Google Drive](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) and [many more](https://apify.com/integrations), plus the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

One or more keywords to search on OLX.ba — for example 'iphone', 'golf 7' or 'stan sarajevo'. Each keyword runs its own search across every category and the results are combined. Leave Start URLs empty to use this.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional. One or more OLX.ba search or category page URLs to scrape. Paste the URL straight from your browser (e.g. https://olx.ba/pretraga?q=iphone). When set, these are scraped in addition to any keywords. The scraper follows the pagination of each URL automatically.

## `categoryId` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Restrict every keyword search to a single OLX.ba category by its numeric ID — for example 18 for cars or 23 for real estate. Leave empty to search across all categories.

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

Maximum number of ads to collect across all searches (0 = no limit; collect everything the searches return).

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many requests to run in parallel. Leave at the default unless you have a reason to change it.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Not required by default. If you experience reduced results, enable Apify Residential proxy for the most reliable access.
