OLX Europe Scraper | Classified Ads, Prices & Listings

Scrape OLX classified ads across Europe in one actor. This OLX scraper extracts structured data from listings in Portugal, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan - by keyword and category, straight from the public OLX offers API. Get clean JSON for every ad: title, parsed price as a number, description, city, region, dates, business/private seller flag, category, image count, thumbnail, and the listing URL. Built for price monitoring, market research, lead generation, and reselling - the OLX Europe classifieds API alternative that just works.

No setup headaches, no blocked requests. The scraper handles OLX reliably and returns ready-to-use data you can pipe straight into a spreadsheet, dashboard, or database. Run it once for a snapshot, or schedule it to run daily or weekly to track how prices and listings change over time - the difference between a one-off export and a living OLX price feed.

Built to run on a residential IP, so it reaches listings that block datacenter scrapers - and keeps reaching them run after run, day after day, in every supported country.

What does it do?

The OLX Europe Scraper turns OLX classifieds across six countries into a single structured data source. Instead of copying listings by hand or maintaining one scraper per country, you give it a keyword, pick a country, and it returns every matching ad as clean JSON.

It is the fastest way to scrape OLX listings for any product, vehicle, property, or service - whether you are tracking competitor prices in Poland, building a market analysis for Romania, generating sales leads in Portugal, or hunting for underpriced inventory to flip across borders.

Prices arrive already parsed as numbers (not messy strings), so you can sort, filter, and run calculations the moment the run finishes. Each ad also carries its city and region, a business flag that tells professional sellers apart from private ones, and the original priceLabel for display - making cross-country comparison and geographic analysis trivial.

Use cases

Whatever your reason for needing OLX Europe data, this scraper covers it:

💰 Price monitoring

Track how much products sell for across any supported country and watch prices move over time. Schedule runs to monitor a category daily and get alerted when something drops below your target. Ideal for repricing strategies and competitive intelligence. Can you monitor prices on OLX? Yes - that is exactly what this actor is built for, in every country it supports.

📊 Market research

Measure supply and demand in any niche, in any market. Pull thousands of listings for a category and analyze average price, price spread, geographic distribution, and the share of business vs. private sellers. Run the same keyword across Portugal, Poland, and Romania to compare markets side by side. Perfect for analysts, consultants, and founders validating a region.

🎯 Lead generation

Find sellers and businesses advertising in your target niche and country. Use the business flag and location fields to build prospecting lists of professional sellers at scale for your sales teams. A practical OLX lead generation engine for B2B outreach across Eastern and Southern Europe.

🔁 Resellers & arbitrage

Spot underpriced items the moment they are posted, in any country. Compare OLX prices against marketplace or retail benchmarks - even between countries - and flip the gap. With numeric prices and fast runs, you can build an automated cross-border deal-finder for your reselling business.

🏠 Real estate professionals

Scrape apartment, house, and land listings by city and region in Poland, Romania, Portugal, and beyond. Analyze asking prices per region, track new inventory, and benchmark your own listings against the local market.

🚗 Car dealers & auto traders

---

Automate it: scheduled price & listing monitoring

A single run gives you a snapshot. The real value of OLX data is in the change over time - prices move, stock turns over, and new ads appear every hour. Put this scraper on a schedule and it becomes an always-on monitoring engine instead of a manual export. Recurring runs are where this actor earns its keep.

Daily price feed per country (repricing & arbitrage)

Schedule a category to run daily in each country you care about and watch the market move. Track average, minimum, and median price for a term like iphone in Portugal or bmw in Poland, store each run's results, and get alerted the moment a listing drops below your target price. This is the backbone of any repricing strategy or reselling/arbitrage operation - you find the deal before anyone refreshing the page by hand does.

New listings watch (lead gen & deal hunting)

Run on a tight schedule (for example every few hours) and diff each result set against the last by id. New IDs are brand-new ads - pipe them straight to Slack or email so you see fresh inventory and new sellers the instant they post. Perfect for snapping up underpriced items first, or for building a real-time lead list of professional (business: true) sellers in your niche.

Weekly multi-country market report

Schedule a broad run weekly in several countries to measure the markets themselves: total ad volume per niche, price distribution, share of business vs. private sellers, and geographic spread by region. Drop it into a Google Sheet or dashboard to track supply, demand, and pricing trends week over week, country by country.

How to set it up

1. Apify Scheduler - open your saved task, add a schedule with a cron expression (for example 0 8 * * * for every day at 08:00), and the actor runs itself on autopilot. No server, no cron box to maintain.
2. Pipe the results anywhere - connect the run to Make, Zapier, or n8n to push every dataset into Slack, email, Google Sheets, Airtable, or your own database.
3. Add alerts - in your automation tool, filter the output (for example price < 300) and fire a notification only when something matches. That turns a daily scrape into a price-drop alert that pays for itself.

Set it once and the data keeps arriving - recurring price monitoring, recurring lead gen, recurring multi-country market intelligence, all without touching it again.

Frequently asked questions

How do I scrape OLX listings in Europe?

Set a query (for example iphone), pick a country such as pt, pl, or ro, choose how many ads you want with maxAds, and run the actor. You will get structured JSON for every matching listing - no coding, browser, or proxy setup required. Add an optional categoryId when you want to scope the search to a single OLX category.

Which countries does this support?

Six: Portugal (pt), Poland (pl), Romania (ro), Bulgaria (bg), Ukraine (ua), and Kazakhstan (kz). One actor covers all of them - just change the country field. Run the same keyword across several countries to compare markets directly.

Can I monitor prices on OLX?

Yes. Because prices come parsed as numbers, OLX price monitoring is straightforward: schedule the scraper to run on a category, store the results over time, and track how prices change. It is ideal for repricing, competitive analysis, and deal alerts - in any supported country.

Can I monitor OLX prices on a schedule?

Yes - that is where this actor earns its keep. Use the built-in Apify Scheduler to run it on a cron schedule (for example 0 8 * * * for daily at 08:00), so it scrapes a category automatically without you lifting a finger. Connect the runs to Make, Zapier, or n8n to push results into Slack, email, or Google Sheets, and add a filter (such as price < target) so you get a price-drop alert the moment a listing falls below your threshold. The same setup powers a new-listings watch for lead generation - schedule frequent runs, diff by id, and surface fresh ads as soon as they are posted.

Do I need a proxy?

No. The actor runs on a residential IP out of the box, which is what lets it reach OLX where datacenter scrapers get blocked. You do not configure or pay for a separate proxy - reliable extraction is handled for you.

Can I scrape a specific OLX category?

Yes. Pass the OLX categoryId in the input to scope the search to a single category. Leave it empty to search the whole keyword across the country.

For each ad you get the listing ID, title, numeric price and original price label, description, city and region, the created and refreshed dates, the business/private flag, category, image count, a thumbnail, and the ad URL.
