## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

5. Set **Max results per query** (OLX caps a search at 1000).

### Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing: **$2.5 per 1,000 results**. Platform usage is not included — see the **Pricing** tab in Apify Console for the current rate and any platform usage costs.

**Cost example:** 3 queries × 200 results = 600 listings → 600 / 1,000 × $2.5 = **$1.50** in actor usage, plus platform usage.

### FAQ

**Which countries are supported?**
Poland (olx.pl), Romania (olx.ro), Bulgaria (olx.bg), Portugal (olx.pt), Ukraine (olx.ua), Kazakhstan (olx.kz) and Uzbekistan (olx.uz). Pick one country per run.

**How many results can I get per query?**
OLX caps a single search at 1000 results. To get more, split broad searches by price ranges, regions or more specific keywords.

**Do I need a proxy?**
OLX blocks some cloud IPs, so Apify Proxy is recommended and enabled by default. You can also supply your own residential proxy URL, which overrides Apify Proxy.

**Why are some prices or seller names empty?**
Some ads have no price (e.g. "free" or "exchange") and private sellers' names are not collected — only business seller names are returned. Category-specific attributes appear in `params`.

**Is scraping OLX legal?**
This actor collects **publicly available data only** and respects robots.txt. You are responsible for how you use the data — check OLX's terms of service and your local regulations (e.g. GDPR) before storing or redistributing personal data.

**Can I get the ad description?**
Yes — enable **Include description text**. It is returned as plain text in the `description` field.

### Integrations

- **API** — run the actor and fetch dataset items via the Apify API from any language.
- **Webhooks** — get notified on run start, success or failure, and push new results to your endpoint.
- **Google Sheets** — export the dataset directly to a spreadsheet or sync it with the Google Sheets integration.
- **Make / Zapier** — connect runs to hundreds of apps for alerts, CRM entries or dashboards.
- **Scheduling** — set a schedule in Apify Console to re-run searches daily or weekly for price tracking.

## CLI example

  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
