OLX Portugal Scraper

Scrape classified listings from OLX.pt — Portugal's largest classifieds and marketplace platform. Extract titles, prices in EUR, seller info, condition, location data, and photos. No login or cookies required.

How to scrape OLX Portugal data

1. Go to OLX Portugal Scraper on the Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the actor in Apify Console.
3. Enter your search query (e.g., "iphone", "carro usado", "apartamento Lisboa").
4. Optionally set location, category, and price filters.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

The scraper uses OLX.pt's internal API to extract structured data directly, which is faster and more reliable than HTML parsing. Each run returns clean, flat JSON objects ready for analysis.

Why use this actor?

OLX.pt is Portugal's dominant classifieds platform, covering everything from phones and vehicles to real estate and jobs. This scraper is useful for:

• Market research — track prices and availability of products across Portugal
• Price monitoring — compare asking prices across districts and time periods
• Lead generation — find sellers and business listings in specific categories
• Academic research — analyze the Portuguese second-hand market and consumer behavior
• Competitive analysis — monitor what competitors are listing and at what prices

No login, cookies, or browser session is needed. The scraper works with direct HTTP requests to the OLX API.

Cost estimate

This actor uses direct HTTP API calls (no browser), making it very efficient. Approximate cost: 0.5 compute units per 1,000 results at standard Apify pricing, which is roughly $0.50 per 1,000 listings.

Tips for best results

• Use Portuguese keywords for better results (e.g., "bicicleta" instead of "bicycle")
• Set a location to narrow results to a specific district
• Use residential proxies for large runs (1,000+ results) to avoid rate limiting
• Combine filters — use minPrice/maxPrice with category for targeted searches
• The OLX API returns a maximum of ~1,000 results per query. Use more specific search terms or category filters to access more listings.

Limitations

• OLX.pt limits API results to approximately 1,000 listings per search query
• Some listings may show "price on request" (price will be null in output)
• Location filtering works at district (distrito) level using the names listed above
• Data is scraped from the public OLX.pt platform and may change without notice
• Respect OLX.pt's terms of service and use the data responsibly
