## 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`).

### FAQ

**Is scraping OLX.ua legal?**
This actor collects only publicly available data from OLX.ua search pages. It respects robots.txt and does not bypass authentication or collect private data. Always comply with OLX's terms of service and local laws when using the data.

**Do I need a proxy?**
OLX may block some cloud IPs. Apify Proxy is recommended and preconfigured. You can also supply your own residential proxy via `customProxyUrl`.

**Why do I get fewer results than requested?**
OLX caps search results at 1000 per query. Split broad searches by price ranges or regions to collect more.

**Are phone numbers or private seller names included?**
No. Phone numbers and private-person names are not collected. Only business seller names are returned.

**Can I search multiple queries at once?**
Yes. Add multiple entries to `queries`; each query is searched separately and results are tagged with the `query` field.

**How do I find region, city or category IDs?**
IDs are visible in OLX URLs and in the output (`categoryId`). Common examples: region `25` = Київська обл., city `268` = Київ.

### Integrations

- **API** — run the actor programmatically via the Apify API and fetch results as JSON.
- **Webhooks** — trigger downstream workflows when a run finishes.
- **Google Sheets** — export results directly to a spreadsheet.
- **Make / Zapier** — connect to 1000+ apps for automation.
- **Scheduling** — set up recurring runs to monitor prices and new listings.

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).
