🌍 OLX International Classifieds Scraper

🚀 Pull every OLX listing in seconds. Scrape Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Portugal, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with one Actor. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-02 · 📊 44 fields per record · 7 countries · 52M+ live listings · structured JSON output

OLX is the largest classifieds network outside North America, with localized marketplaces across Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Each regional site hosts its own auction-free, peer-to-peer marketplace for cars, real estate, electronics, jobs, services and household goods. OLX Poland alone holds 25 million active listings; Ukraine, Romania and Portugal add tens of millions more. The Actor turns those public listings into a normalized JSON dataset you can feed into pricing dashboards, market-entry research, fraud monitoring or AI training pipelines.

This Actor talks to OLX's public offer API directly, so a single run can paginate through up to 1,000 listings per filter combination in seconds. You get every visible field the OLX mobile and web clients use: price in the local currency, condition, listing photos at full resolution, seller account history, GPS coordinates, category IDs, custom parameters (year, mileage, square meters, engine size, room count, brand and model) and listing freshness timestamps. Slice by country, keyword, category, city, price range, item condition or seller type.

📋 What the OLX International Classifieds Scraper does

• 🌍 Seven country marketplaces. Switch between Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Portugal, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with a single dropdown.
• 🔍 Keyword and category search. Match titles and descriptions in the country's native language, or scope by OLX's numeric category ID.
• 💰 Price, condition and seller filters. Set a price range in the local currency, restrict to new vs used items, or pick private sellers vs business / dealer accounts.
• 📍 City-level scoping. Pass an OLX city ID for hyper-local cuts of inventory.
• 📷 Full-resolution photos. Every listing image at 1024x768, ready to download or feed into vision models.
• 🧾 Structured listing parameters. OLX's per-category attributes (year, mileage, body type, room count, square meters, brand, model) come back as a typed key-value map.

Each record contains 44 fields covering listing identity, full price details, seller profile, geolocation, category metadata, structured parameters, all photos and listing freshness timestamps. The Actor also flags promoted listings, top ads and highlighted offers so you can separate organic from paid placements.

💡 Why it matters: OLX is the dominant classifieds network in dozens of countries where Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace barely register. If you need consumer pricing data for Eastern Europe, the Balkans or Central Asia, OLX is the source of truth, and this Actor is the only single-input multi-country way to pull it.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
startUrl	string	No	Optional OLX search or category URL. Country, keyword, category, region, city and price are parsed from the URL.
country	enum	No	Marketplace to scrape: Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Portugal, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan. Default Poland.
maxItems	integer	No	Free users capped at 10 (preview). Paid users up to 1,000,000.
query	string	No	Free-text keyword in the country's native language.
category	enum	No	Category picked from the OLX tree of every market (7,700+ options). The country-code prefix selects the marketplace and overrides the Country field. Pick a parent category to include all of its subcategories. No IDs to guess.
region	enum	No	Region or province to limit results to, picked from a dropdown of all 170 OLX regions across the seven markets.
cityName	string	No	City name (e.g. Warszawa, Kyiv, Bucuresti). Resolved to the matching OLX city automatically, so you never look up an ID.
priceMin	integer	No	Minimum price in the local currency.
priceMax	integer	No	Maximum price in the local currency.
itemState	enum	No	Any, new, used or damaged.
sellerType	enum	No	Any, private or business.
sortBy	enum	No	Newest, lowest price, highest price or relevance.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Apify Proxy. Datacenter is enough for most runs.

Example: pull the 50 newest iPhone listings in Warszawa on OLX Poland.

{
    "country": "PL",
    "query": "iphone",
    "cityName": "Warszawa",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "sortBy": "created_at:desc"
}

Example: used cars in Romania, business sellers only, between 5,000 and 15,000 EUR.

{
    "category": "RO:84",
    "query": "BMW",
    "priceMin": 5000,
    "priceMax": 15000,
    "sellerType": "business",
    "itemState": "used",
    "maxItems": 200
}

⚠️ Good to Know: OLX caps a single filter combination at roughly 1,000 results per query. To dig deeper, narrow the search by city, category, region, price range or keyword. Because OLX runs each country as a separate platform, the Category and Region dropdowns carry a country-code prefix (for example PL or UA) that automatically selects the right marketplace.
