Olx India Scraper

OLX India Public Classifieds Scraper

This Actor extracts publicly visible OLX India classifieds from olx.in search, category, or listing pages. It returns titles, INR-aware prices, locations, categories, conditions, seller fields, descriptions, images, dates, and canonical listing URLs when those fields are present in public HTML or structured data.

Input

• startUrls: HTTPS OLX India URLs; only olx.in and its public subdomains are accepted.
• maxItems: maximum unique listings, from 1 to 100.
• requestTimeoutSecs: per-page timeout, from 5 to 60 seconds.
• maxBytes: response-size limit.
• proxyConfiguration: optional standard Apify Proxy settings. Direct requests remain the default; successful navigation reuses one session and one bounded retry rotates the session after a transient/access-boundary response.

The Actor follows public redirects only when the final URL remains on OLX India. It uses Apify's impit client with a current desktop Chrome identity, an India-consistent language profile, bounded backoff, and a Chrome network fingerprint because OLX India resets generic Node TLS clients. It does not log in, access private endpoints, submit credentials, solve CAPTCHAs, or bypass challenges. Proxy credentials are passed only to the request transport and are never written to dataset rows or summaries. Anti-automation responses are emitted as diagnostic dataset rows with an error code instead of being hidden. User-supplied fixture content is not accepted by the production Actor, and diagnostic-only runs exit nonzero.

Output

Successful rows have recordType: "olx-listing" and include stable metadata (recordId, source URLs, HTTP status, timestamps, and access policy). When a page is unavailable or has no parseable public listings, an olx-diagnostic row records the reason. OUTPUT and OUTPUT_SUMMARY contain run counts.

Use the dataset export/API for JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML output. Respect OLX terms, request limits, applicable law, and privacy obligations.
