## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## OLX Portugal Scraper

CSV rank: **831**. Store listing: [dadhalfdev/olx-portugal-scraper](https://apify.com/dadhalfdev/olx-portugal-scraper).

This Actor parses public OLX Portugal search/category pages and `/d/anuncio/` listing pages when direct HTML or JSON-LD is available. It emits non-empty listing IDs and URLs, titles, public prices/currencies, listing type, location/date text, public category and parameter fields, promotion flags, delivery signals, official image URLs, and sanitized descriptions. `deliveryAvailable` is tri-state: it is emitted only when OLX explicitly publishes a boolean delivery signal; an absent signal is omitted rather than reported as `false`.

Seller names, usernames, phone numbers, emails, exact addresses, account data, messages, contact flows, cookies, private APIs, and checkout fields are excluded. The Actor uses bounded HTTPS HTML/JSON-LD with a fixed transparent user-agent. Optional `proxyConfiguration` enables the standard Apify Proxy; direct requests are the default, one valid session ID is reused, and credentials never enter datasets or summaries. It does not use browser automation, authentication, or access-control bypasses. OLX may deny automated requests; the Actor then fails closed with a diagnostic and does not fabricate listing rows.

The default smoke test is a public OLX Portugal search URL. Pass `startUrls` to use another public search or listing URL; `maxPages` adds bounded `page=N` variants for search URLs.

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. `requestDelayMs` and `maxRequestRetries` provide bounded retry pacing, while `fixturePath` enables explicit checked-in local QA without silently replacing live access.

```bash
apify validate-schema
apify run --purge
```

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Public HTTPS olx.pt search/category or /d/anuncio listing URLs.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum source-backed OLX listing records emitted.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Bounded number of adjacent page URLs to request per source URL.

## `timeoutMs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum time allowed for each direct public request.

## `maxBytes` (type: `integer`):

Maximum public response bytes.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Bounded delay before retrying a failed public request.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Bounded retries for transient or access-boundary responses.

## `fixturePath` (type: `string`):

Optional checked-in HTML/JSON/TXT fixture path for deterministic local QA; never used as a live fallback.

## `acceptLanguage` (type: `string`):

Optional language preference.

## `includeImages` (type: `boolean`):

Include official OLX CDN image URLs exposed publicly.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional standard Apify Proxy settings. Direct requests are the default; enabled runs reuse one consistent session and do not bypass access controls.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("w3crawler/olx-portugal-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("w3crawler/olx-portugal-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call w3crawler/olx-portugal-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,w3crawler/olx-portugal-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
