They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

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](https://apify.com/studioamba/olx-pt-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. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search keyword (default: "iphone") | | `category` | String | No | Category slug (e.g., "telemoveis-e-tablets", "carros-motos-e-barcos") | | `location` | String | No | District name (e.g., "Lisboa", "Porto", "Faro") | | `minPrice` | Integer | No | Minimum price filter in EUR | | `maxPrice` | Integer | No | Maximum price filter in EUR | | `sortBy` | String | No | Sort order: relevance, newest, cheapest, most\_expensive | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum listings to return (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (Portuguese residential recommended) | #### Supported locations The actor supports filtering by Portuguese district (distrito): Lisboa, Porto, Braga, Faro, Coimbra, Aveiro, Setúbal, Leiria, Santarém, Viseu, Évora, Bragança, Beja, Guarda, Portalegre, Vila Real, Viana do Castelo, Castelo Branco, Madeira.

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 ### Related Scrapers - [OLX.pl Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/olx-scraper) — the same platform for Poland (prices in PLN) - [OLX Romania Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/olx-ro-scraper) — OLX classifieds for Romania - [OLX Bulgaria Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/olx-bg-scraper) — OLX classifieds for Bulgaria - [Marktplaats Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/marktplaats-scraper) — Netherlands' largest classifieds - [Kleinanzeigen Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/kleinanzeigen-scraper) — Germany's leading classifieds - [Leboncoin Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/leboncoin-scraper) — France's top classifieds platform # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for listings by keyword on OLX.pt (e.g., 'iphone', 'carro', 'apartamento'). ## `category` (type: `string`): Filter by OLX.pt category slug (e.g., 'telemoveis-e-tablets', 'carros-motos-e-barcos', 'imoveis', 'moveis-casa-e-jardim').
