Avito Scraper - listings, prices and sellers from Russia's biggest classifieds site

Scrape Avito listings by search term, category, city or URL and get the title, the asking price in roubles, the seller type, the location with coordinates and the full photo set as clean rows. This Avito scraper reads the same result pages a shopper sees, so an Avito price tracker built on it sees what buyers see rather than what an API decides to publish.

What you get

• Up to 50 listings per search page, paged automatically until your row limit
• Listing id, title and canonical URL with Avito's tracking query stripped off
• Asking price as a number in roubles plus the price exactly as printed, the struck-through price and the discount percentage when a seller is cutting
• City or region, the finer address line Avito prints, and latitude and longitude for every advert that carries them
• Private-seller versus business flag, verified flag and reserved flag
• Every photo at the widest size Avito serves, plus the photo count
• Category name and category slug, so a result row feeds straight back in as the input of a narrower run
• On rows read from a listing URL: the full advert text, the seller name, availability, new-or-used condition and the category breadcrumb path
• A run summary that separates "this search found nothing" from "the site did not serve us", because in a dataset those two look identical and mean completely different things

Why scrape Avito

Avito is the default second-hand and small-business marketplace in Russia, and for most categories it is the only price signal that exists at scale. There is no public Avito API for listing data. The official developer programme is aimed at sellers managing their own adverts, not at anyone who wants to see the market, so pricing research, competitor monitoring and supply tracking all come down to reading the site.

That matters more on classifieds than on a retail catalogue. A retailer publishes one price per product. Avito publishes a distribution: the same phone model is listed forty times at forty prices, by private sellers and by shops, in cities with very different price levels. The useful number is not any single advert, it is the spread and how it moves, and you only get that by collecting the whole result page and paging through it.

The rental side works the same way. Avito carries a very large share of Russian long-term and short-term rental supply, and category and city slugs let you pull one neighbourhood's flats the same way you would pull one model of phone. Because every row carries coordinates when the advert has them, rental and vehicle data map directly without a geocoding step.

Input

Field	Type	Required	What it does
query	string	yes	What to search for, Russian or Latin script
location	string	no	City or region slug from an Avito URL, all for the whole country
category	string	no	Category slug, for example telefony, kvartiry, avtomobili
searchUrls	array	no	Full Avito search URLs, used instead of the fields above
listingUrls	array	no	Individual advert URLs to read one at a time
priceMin	integer	no	Lowest price in roubles
priceMax	integer	no	Highest price in roubles
sort	select	no	Relevance, newest first, cheapest first, most expensive first
sellerType	select	no	Any seller, private only, or companies only
onlyWithPhoto	boolean	no	Skip adverts with no photograph
maxItems	integer	no	Stop after this many listings, default 50

The slugs are the ones in Avito's own URLs. If a browser shows you avito.ru/moskva/telefony, then moskva is the location and telefony is the category. If you would rather not think about slugs at all, paste the whole search URL into searchUrls and every filter you set in the browser is kept.

Use cases

Price research before you buy or list. If you are pricing stock to sell on Avito, the question is never "what is this worth" but "what is the tenth-cheapest comparable advert asking today". Pull one category in one city sorted by price, take the distribution, and you have a listing price that will actually move. Run it weekly and you have the trend, which is the part a single lookup on the site can never give you.

Competitor and dealer monitoring. The seller-type filter splits genuine second-hand supply from business inventory in one input. Electronics resellers, car dealers and furniture shops all list on Avito under business accounts, so restricting a category to companies gives you a clean view of who is stocking what, at what price, in which cities, without the noise of private adverts.

Rental and property tracking. Property analysts use Avito the way their western counterparts use portals that publish an API. Category and city slugs narrow a run to one neighbourhood, newest-first sorting turns it into a feed of new supply, and the coordinates on each row drop straight onto a map. Because listings disappear when they let, tracking the same search over time also tells you how fast stock is moving.

Sourcing and arbitrage. Regional price gaps on Avito are real and large. The same item is routinely cheaper several time zones away from Moscow. Running one query across several city slugs and comparing the medians is a spread report you can act on, and the rows carry everything you need to contact the seller.

How it compares

	This actor	zen-studio/avito-listings-scraper	abotapi/avito-ru-scraper
Price per listing	$0.0035	$0.00499	$0.002 plus $0.10 per run

abotapi is cheaper per row and dearer per run, which flips the ranking below about seventy rows: their run fee costs more than the entire result set on a small job. zen-studio has the larger installed base and a separate seller profile actor that this one does not try to replace. What neither of them publishes is the thing this actor treats as a headline field: whether a run that returned nothing returned nothing because the search was empty.

Pricing

Billing is pay-per-event at $0.0035 per listing delivered. A refused read costs nothing: if the site does not serve us, you get a row saying so and no charge for it. All pricing is pay-per-event — you only pay for results you receive. No actor-start fee, no per-compute-unit charges.

Limits and gotchas

• Avito serves Russia. Prices are in roubles and there is no other currency.
• One search page holds 50 listings. A maxItems of 500 is ten pages, and each page is a separate request, so a large run takes minutes rather than seconds.
• Avito's result ordering is not stable between requests. Two runs of the same search minutes apart can return the same listings in a different order, and a small number of adverts may appear on the boundary between two pages. Rows are de-duplicated by listing id within a run.
• priceMin, priceMax, sort, sellerType and onlyWithPhoto apply to the search-term path. If you paste a URL into searchUrls, whatever is in that URL wins, which is the point of pasting it.
• Advert text, seller name and condition are only on the listing page, so they appear on rows produced from listingUrls, not on search rows.
• Some adverts name no price at all. Those rows arrive with price empty rather than zero, so that a missing price is never mistaken for a free item.
• The site refuses some requests. The actor retries, and if every attempt is refused you get a row with blocked set and the run summary says siteRefusedUs. Treat that as "come back later", not as "no such listings".
• Avito decides who it serves by client, and it changes its mind: the set of accepted clients moved twice inside one hour on 16 September 2026. The actor therefore tries several and the run summary records which one worked, under servedBy, alongside refusedBy and anyIdentityServed. If anyIdentityServed is false, nothing the actor knows about was accepted on that run, which is a different problem from an empty search and is worth reporting rather than re-running.

FAQ

Can I scrape Avito without an API key? Yes. There is no public Avito API for listing data, and this actor needs no key, no account and no cookies from you. You give it a search and it returns rows.

How do I get Avito listings for a specific city? Put the city slug from an Avito URL into location, for example moskva, sankt-peterburg or novosibirsk. Use all to search the whole country, which is the default.

Can I scrape Avito rental and property listings? Yes. Use the property category slug, for example kvartiry, together with a city slug. Every row carries coordinates when the advert has them, so rental data maps without a separate geocoding step.

How do I filter Avito results by price? Set priceMin and priceMax in roubles. They are applied by Avito itself as part of the search rather than after the fact, so paging stays efficient.

Why did my Avito run return no listings? Check the run summary. emptySearch true means the search genuinely matched nothing, usually a typo in a slug. siteRefusedUs true means the site did not serve the result set on that run and the same search is worth re-running.
