Olx Portugal Scraper

What does OLX Portugal Scraper do?

OLX Portugal Scraper reads the exact olx.pt search or category URL you give it - filters, price range and sort already applied - and returns every listing on it: title, description, price, currency, location, category params, photos, seller signals and promotion flags. It paginates automatically up to your max results or OLX's own 1000-item search cap.

Why use OLX Portugal Scraper?

• Takes your own search URL directly, so any filter or sort you've already set up in your browser is respected exactly.
• Returns seller signals (member since, online status, business flag) alongside the listing, not just the price.
• Captures promotion flags (top ad, highlighted, urgent) so you can separate paid placements from organic listings.
• Works for both keyword search URLs and category browse URLs.
• No account or API key.

What makes this different

Most classifieds scrapers need you to pick a category from a dropdown. This Actor takes the exact olx.pt URL you already built in your browser - search terms, filters, price range and sort all included - and scrapes it as-is.

Who can use the OLX Portugal Scraper and how?

• Resellers and flippers: Monitor a specific search (e.g. a model + price range) for new listings.
• Market researchers: Track price distributions for a product category across Portugal.
• Price-drop alert builders: Re-run a saved search URL on a schedule and diff the results.
• Lead generation: Collect seller contact signals for a category of interest.

How it works

1. Your input — build your search or category URL on olx.pt with the filters and sort you want
2. The Actor collects it — paste that URL into the Actor
3. Your output — get one row per listing, following the site's own pagination

Tips for Best Results

• Apply your filters and sort directly on olx.pt first, then copy that URL in - don't try to reconstruct filter params by hand.
• Re-run on a schedule with the same saved search URL to catch new listings.
• Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

Known Limitations

• Capped at 1000 results per search, matching OLX's own search result limit.
• Promoted/top ads can appear on multiple pages, so duplicate IDs across pages are automatically skipped.

Integrations

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Send results straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own database with Apify's built-in integrations.

Export Formats

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the Output tab or the API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need an OLX account?

No. The Actor reads olx.pt's public listing pages and needs no account or key.

Can I use my own filters?

Yes - build the search or category URL on olx.pt with whatever filters, price range and sort you want, then paste that exact URL in.

How many results can I get?

Up to 1000 per run - that's OLX's own cap on a single search's result count.

Does it work for category browse pages too, not just search?

Yes - both /ads/q-{keyword}/ search URLs and category browse URLs (e.g. /telemoveis-e-tablets/) work.

Do I need an account or login?

No. The Actor reads public data and needs no account or key.

Am I charged for failed runs or empty results?

You are only charged for results that are actually written to the dataset.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Create a Task with your input and add a schedule in Apify Console. With monitor mode on, each scheduled run returns only what changed since the previous one.
