OLX.ro Scraper

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

How to scrape OLX Romania data

1. Go to OLX.ro 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", "apartament Bucuresti", "bicicleta").
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.ro'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.

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 Romanian keywords for better results (e.g., "bicicleta de munte" instead of "mountain bike")
• Set a location to narrow results to a specific city or region
• 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.ro 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 best with the major Romanian cities listed above
• Data is scraped from the public OLX.ro platform and may change without notice
• Respect OLX.ro's terms of service and use the data responsibly
