Avito Scraper — Listings, Prices & Seller Details

Scrape Avito.ru — Russia's largest classifieds marketplace — by keyword or by URL. Get clean, structured JSON for every listing: title, price, location, images, seller, and posted date, plus (with detail enrichment) the full description, item parameters, seller profile, and view count. No login, MCP-ready.

What it does

Give it a search keyword (e.g. iPhone 15, диван угловой) or one or more Avito URLs (search results, a category, or individual item pages). The actor paginates the results, normalizes every listing into a stable schema, and optionally opens each item to enrich it with the full description, specs, and seller details.

Avito renders its catalog with JavaScript and hard-blocks every non-Russian IP at the edge, so the actor drives an anti-detect browser (Camoufox / Firefox) over Russian residential proxies — both built in. You don't supply a proxy.

When to use it

• Price & market research across a category or city.
• Competitor / inventory monitoring — track new listings for a keyword on a schedule.
• Seller sourcing — collect seller name, type (private vs company), and profile URL per listing.
• Feeding an AI agent / MCP client that needs structured Avito data from a single query.

Do not use it for Avito account actions (messaging, posting) — it is a public, read-only scraper.

Output

One record per listing/item. Core fields:

Field	Description
id	Avito item id
url	Canonical listing URL
title	Listing title
price	Numeric price (RUB)
priceLabel	Price as shown (e.g. "27 290 ₽")
location	City / region
images	Array of image URLs
sellerName	Seller display name
sellerType	Частное лицо (private) / Компания (company)
postedText	Posted date as shown on Avito
description	Short snippet
source	Extraction source

With detail enrichment (enrichDetails, on by default) each record also gets:

Field	Description
fullDescription	Complete item description
params	Item parameters (brand, condition, specs…) as a key/value object
address	Full street address (real estate / auto), metro proximity stripped
sellerProfileUrl	Link to the seller's Avito profile
viewCount	Listing views

Note on phone numbers: Avito gates seller phone reveal behind login / its mobile app, so phone numbers are not reliably scrapable and are not included. Seller name, type, and profile URL are provided instead.

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Listing scraped (enrichment off)	$0.004 / listing
Item enriched (default)	$0.009 / item

You're billed only for results actually returned, capped by your Max results. The run logs the maximum possible cost before it starts.

Run it via API

JavaScript (Apify client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/avito-scraper').call({
    query: 'iPhone 15',
    maxResults: 20,
    enrichDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python (Apify client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("khadinakbar/avito-scraper").call(run_input={
    "query": "iPhone 15",
    "maxResults": 20,
    "enrichDetails": True,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

MCP / AI agents

Exposed in the Apify MCP server as apify--avito-scraper. The tool takes a single keyword or URL and returns structured listings — a natural one-call tool for Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client doing Russian-market research.

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. Russian residential proxy is built in. Avito blocks all non-RU IPs, so the actor will not work without one — which is why it's included.

Why can runs take a while? Avito's Russian-residential IP pool is inconsistent; the actor relaunches the browser on a fresh IP whenever it hits Avito's "access restricted" block page. Most runs succeed, but the occasional retry adds time. Keep maxResults sized to what you actually need.

Does it support city/category filters? Yes, via locationPath (a city slug like moskva) or by passing an Avito URL that already encodes the filters.

Can it get seller phone numbers? No — Avito requires login or its app to reveal phones, so they are not reliably scrapable. The actor returns seller name, type, and profile URL instead.

What if a search returns nothing? You get an empty dataset and a clear status message — no charge for results that don't exist.
