OLX International Classifieds Scraper

OLX International Classifieds Scraper

Scrape OLX classifieds from Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Portugal, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, up to a million listings per run. Every listing comes with its title, price, location, seller type, and full description. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

OLX is the dominant classifieds platform across Central and Eastern Europe, but its data is spread across seven separate country marketplaces with no unified API. Manually copying listings for market analysis, price monitoring, or lead generation is slow and error-prone. This Actor reads the public listing feeds directly, letting you pull structured data from any OLX country, category, or keyword search in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape OLX for
Market researchers	Track supply, demand, and average prices for a product category across multiple countries.
E-commerce sellers	Monitor competitor pricing and inventory levels on OLX to adjust their own listings.
Data analysts	Build datasets of second-hand goods prices to feed into economic models or reports.
Lead generation specialists	Find private sellers listing high-value items to offer consignment or direct purchase services.

What it does

This Actor collects OLX classified listings by country, category, keyword search, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row with its title, price, description, location, and seller details.

• 🌍 Seven country marketplaces: scrape OLX in Poland (olx.pl), Ukraine (olx.ua), Romania (olx.ro), Portugal (olx.pt), Bulgaria (olx.bg), Kazakhstan (olx.kz), and Uzbekistan (olx.uz).
• 🔍 Keyword and category search: target listings by free-text keyword, a specific OLX category from the full tree, or both together.
• 📍 Geographic filtering: narrow results to a specific region or city within the chosen country.
• 💰 Price range filter: set minimum and maximum prices in the local currency to isolate listings within a budget.
• 🏷️ Condition and seller type: filter by item condition (new, used, damaged) and seller type (private or business).

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your keyword and category combination is valid for the selected country. A keyword that returns results in Poland might not exist in Ukraine. Try broadening your search by removing the keyword or category filter.

The Actor is returning listings from the wrong country.

The 'Country' field is overridden if you select a 'Category' or 'Region' with a different country code prefix, or if you paste a 'startUrl' from another country. Ensure all your filters are set for the same target country.

Some listings are missing a price or description.

This is normal. Some sellers on OLX list items with a negotiable price or leave the description field blank. The Actor returns whatever data is publicly available on the listing page.

The run is taking a very long time.

A high 'Maximum listings' value combined with a broad search can take time. Reduce the maximum items, or narrow your search with a more specific keyword, category, or price range to speed up the run.

I get an error when using a city name.

The city name must be spelled correctly in the local language (e.g., 'Warszawa' not 'Warsaw'). If the city name is ambiguous, also select the 'Region' to help the Actor resolve the correct location.

Can I scrape a specific OLX category without a keyword?	Yes. Leave the search term field empty and select a category from the dropdown. The Actor will return every listing in that category for the chosen country.
How do I scrape listings from a specific city?	Use the 'City name' input field. The Actor resolves the city name to the correct OLX city ID automatically. You can combine it with the 'Region' filter for more precision.
What data fields are returned for each listing?	Each row includes the title, price, currency, full description, listing URL, publication date, location, seller name, seller type, item condition, and any other attributes visible on the listing page.
Can I filter listings by price?	Yes. Set the 'Min Price' and 'Max Price' fields in the input to return only listings within that range, using the local currency of the selected country.
Is it possible to scrape only listings from private sellers?	Yes. Set the 'Seller Type' filter to 'Private seller' to exclude business and dealer listings from your results.
How many listings can I scrape in one run?	You can set the 'Maximum listings' input to any number up to 1,000,000. The Actor will stop gracefully once it reaches that limit.
Do I need an OLX account or API key to use this?	No. The Actor reads the publicly available listing pages, so no login, account, or API key is required.
Can I scrape listings from multiple countries at the same time?	A single Actor run targets one country at a time. To scrape multiple countries, run the Actor multiple times with different 'Country' settings, or use multiple tasks.
What output formats are supported?	You can export your scraped dataset in CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML format from the Apify platform.
