## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## OLX.bg Scraper

![olxbg-scraper](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/lJlifu6C8YQfZMPKE/records/olxbg-scraper)

Scrape real estate listings from [OLX.bg](https://www.olx.bg) — Bulgaria's largest classifieds platform — dominant in real estate. Filter by transaction type, Bulgarian region/city, property type, and price range. No API key required.

***

### Why this scraper?

#### ⚡ Fast & cost-efficient extraction

Pure REST API — no browser, no HTML parsing. Direct JSON responses from OLX.bg's official internal API.

#### 🏠 Market coverage

60,000+ Bulgarian property listings across all 28 oblasts and Sofia-grad.

#### 💰 Rich structured data

50 fields per listing: price (EUR + BGN), price per m², area, rooms, floor, construction type, heating, furnishing, amenities, GPS coordinates, promotion flags, contact flags, and more.

#### 🔍 Flexible filters

Filter by transaction (sale/rent), property type, region/city, and price range. Multi-region splitting automatically bypasses the API's 1,000-item-per-query cap.

#### 📍 Location & coverage

Covers all Bulgarian oblasts: Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, and all 28 regions.

#### 🔗 Direct URL support

Pass any OLX.bg real estate search URL via `startUrls` — region and category are auto-detected.

***

### Examples

**Apartments for sale in Sofia:**

```json
{ "transaction": "sale", "propertyType": "apartment", "regions": ["sofia"], "maxItems": 100 }
```

**Rent apartments in Sofia + Plovdiv, filtered by price:**

```json
{ "transaction": "rent", "propertyType": "apartment", "regions": ["sofia", "plovdiv"], "minPrice": 400, "maxPrice": 800, "maxItems": 200 }
```

**Houses for sale, all of Bulgaria:**

```json
{ "transaction": "sale", "propertyType": "house", "maxItems": 500 }
```

**Via direct URL:**

```json
{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.olx.bg/nedvizhimi-imoti/prodazhbi/kaschi-vili/oblast-plovdiv/" }], "maxItems": 50 }
```

***

**Daily feed of new listings (run on a schedule):**

```json
{
  "daysOld": 1,
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

Schedule this input to run once a day in the Apify Scheduler — each run returns only listings added in the last 24 hours, ideal as a daily new-listings alert.

### 💰 Pricing

**$1.50 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings.
Failed retries are never charged.

| Results | Cost |
|---------|------|
| 100 | ~$0.15 |
| 1,000 | ~$1.50 |
| 10,000 | ~$15.00 |
| 100,000 | ~$150.00 |

> Flat-rate real estate data providers typically charge $99–$299/month regardless of usage.
> At 10,000 results/month, this scraper costs significantly less with no subscription.

***

### Performance

| Run size | Estimated time |
|----------|----------------|
| 100 listings | ~2–4 min |
| 500 listings | ~8–15 min |
| 1,000 listings | ~20–30 min |

Multi-region runs execute segments sequentially with respectful delays.

***

### Known limitations

- **Price currency:** Some listings quote price in BGN only — the EUR equivalent shown uses OLX's own conversion label.
- **Contact:** Private seller phone numbers may be masked — full numbers require login.
- **Language:** All text fields are returned in Bulgarian Cyrillic.
- **API cap:** OLX.bg limits each category+region query to 1,000 results. For high-volume national scrapes, use the `regions` input to split across oblasts (each with its own 1,000 cap).
- **Price filter:** OLX.bg's API does not support server-side price filtering — `minPrice`/`maxPrice` are applied client-side after fetching.

***

### Technical details

- **Method:** OLX.bg REST API v1 (`/api/v1/offers/`) — no browser, no HTML parsing
- **Memory:** 256 MB
- **Retry:** Automatic retry on transient errors with exponential backoff
- **Deduplication:** Cross-run content hash prevents duplicate listings in repeated runs
- **Output fields:** 49 fields
