🚫 ZERO PROXY COSTS — NO BANS, NO CAPTCHAS, 100% UPTIME

Traditional OLX scrapers rely on slow headless browsers (Puppeteer/Playwright) and burn hundreds of dollars on residential proxy pools that frequently get blocked by Cloudflare, anti-bot firewalls, and rate limits.

This Actor uses direct high-speed data stream technology:

• 🛡️ Zero Proxies Required: Save $50 – $300/month on proxy subscriptions.
• ⚡ Sub-Second Speed: Get results in 0.2 – 0.5 seconds instead of minutes.
• 🧱 0% Block Risk: Never worry about CAPTCHAs, 403 Forbidden, or IP bans.
• 🔄 Continuous Coverage: Fast, accurate data across all 24 regions and categories of Ukraine.

🎯 2 Powerful Operation Modes (2 Режими роботи)

1. 🚀 Real-Time Sniper Mode (Свіжі публікації наживо — ДО модерації та появи в пошуку)

🔥 The Ultimate Unfair Advantage for Deal Snipers & Resellers.

When a seller posts an ad on OLX, it enters an internal ingestion & pre-moderation queue before it gets indexed by the main search engine.

This mode intercepts listings at the very moment of creation — minutes before standard buyers or competitor scrapers can even see them in OLX search:

• 📱 Resellers & Dropshippers (Перепродаж техніки): Snipe undervalued iPhones, MacBooks, GPUs, gaming consoles, and appliances the exact second they are posted.
• 🚗 Car Traders (Автоперекуп / Автобізнес): Be the first to call the seller on bargain cars before the phone line gets jammed.
• 🏠 Real Estate Brokers & Renters (Оренда та купівля квартир): Catch newly listed apartments in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Dnipro first in line.
• 🔔 Instant Telegram Alerts: Get rich notifications with photos, price, location, parameters, and direct links straight to your phone.

---

2. 📂 Search Active Listings (Збір опублікованих оголошень)

⚡ Lightning-fast structured data extraction across active OLX listings.

• 📊 Market Research & Price Intelligence: Historical price trends, market depth, and supply/demand dynamics.
• 🏬 Full Catalog Exports: Filter and export entire categories or specific brands into Excel/CSV.
• 📍 Deep Regional & Radius Filtering: Target any of the 29,799 Ukrainian cities and villages with customizable search radiuses (0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 50, 75, 100 km).

🇺🇦 100% Human-Readable Attributes (Без «сирих» кодів та сміття)

Most scrapers dump confusing internal IDs and null objects like {"key": "0", "label": null}.

Our built-in normalization engine automatically resolves every attribute against the official OLX Ukrainian dictionary:

• Boolean switches: Formatted cleanly as "Так" / "Ні" (Комісія: Ні, Обмін: Ні, єОселя: Так, Без комісії: Так).
• Salary ranges: Neatly formatted ("30 000 - 45 000 грн" або "Договірна").
• Multi-select parameters: Formatted as clean comma-separated labels ("Кондиціонер, Паркінг, Балкон, Панорамні вікна").
• Vehicle & Tech specs: Structured key-value pairs ready for Excel, Google Sheets, or CRM without extra data cleaning.
