## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

## OLX.pl Scraper

Scrape classified listings from OLX.pl — Poland's largest classifieds and marketplace platform with 11M+ monthly users. Extract titles, prices, seller info, condition, location data, and photos. No login or cookies required.

### How to scrape OLX.pl data

1. Go to [OLX.pl Scraper](https://apify.com/studioamba/olx-scraper) on the Apify Store.
2. Click **Try for free** to open the actor in Apify Console.
3. Enter your search query (e.g., "laptop", "mieszkanie Warszawa", "rower").
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.pl'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.pl is Poland's dominant classifieds platform, covering everything from electronics and vehicles to real estate and jobs. This scraper is useful for:

- **Market research** — track prices and availability of products across Poland
- **Price monitoring** — compare asking prices across regions and time periods
- **Lead generation** — find sellers and business listings in specific categories
- **Academic research** — analyze the Polish 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 Polish keywords** for better results (e.g., "rower gorski" 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.pl 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 major Polish cities listed above
- Data is scraped from the public OLX.pl platform and may change without notice
- Respect OLX.pl's terms of service and use the data responsibly
