Monitoring OLX Messages for up to 50 OLX accounts (OLX Automation)
General Description
A need for an automated bot that will:
Check 50 OLX accounts for new messages.
Send notifications via Telegram or email when new messages are received.
Operate reliably and securely, without being blocked by OLX.
Functional Requirements
Authorization and account management
The bot should authorize once on each account and save cookies.
For subsequent checks, use saved cookies instead of entering login/password each time.
If cookies are outdated (session reset), the bot should re-login automatically.
Message checking
The bot should check the "Messages" section in each account.
Check interval: random (from 10 to 30 seconds) between requests to different accounts.
If a new message is found → send a notification
Protection against blocking
Different User-Agent for each account (imitating different browsers).
Random delays between actions (clicks, scrolls).
Notifications
Telegram bot (preferably) or email notifications.
In the notification, specify: Account number (e.g., "Account 14") / Message text (if possible).
Deployment and 24/7 operation
Option 1: Local laptop
The laptop runs 24/7 (power + Wi-Fi internet / via SIM card).
The script should start automatically on startup. (if possible).
If the script crashes → auto-restart. (if possible).
Option 2: VPS (if the laptop is unreliable)
Rent a cheap server (Hetzner, DigitalOcean).
Configure proxy if needed.

P.S. Explanation of the task
Why am I doing this?
Currently, I have 30 OLX accounts (with different emails), and there is a big problem:
🔴 OLX does not always send email notifications about new messages.
Because of this:
I might miss a message from a buyer.
I have to manually log into each account and check, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.
What do I want?
A reliable way to automatically monitor messages in all accounts so that:
✅ No buyer is missed.
✅ Receive instant notifications (Telegram or email).
✅ Save time on manual checking.
Alternative solutions are welcome!
If you have experience in OLX automation or know a simpler method (e.g., via API, ready-made services, or other technologies) – please suggest!
I am willing to consider:
🔹 Ready solutions (if available).
🔹 Optimization of my approach (e.g., without Selenium, if API can suffice).
🔹 Security tips (how to avoid blocks).
💡 Main goal – stable operation without missed messages.
If you have ideas – write! I look forward to cooperation.
Client's review of cooperation with Serhii Klitynskyi
Monitoring OLX Messages for up to 50 OLX accounts (OLX Automation)A top-level professional!
I want to thank the freelancer for the incredibly high-quality and responsible work on my complex project. From the very first day of collaboration, I felt that the project was in reliable hands.
Stability and quality: The final product works perfectly, quickly, and without failures. Everything was implemented clearly according to the specifications, but even more!
Uninterrupted communication: The specialist was always available, promptly answering all questions and making adjustments. It felt like working not with a remote contractor, but with a part of the team.
A huge number of revisions. I had countless wishes and corrections during the work. The contractor, with true patience and understanding, made ALL the necessary changes, never objected or rushed.
What impressed me the most was that the specialist not only did what was asked but also proposed solutions, seeing where improvements could be made for better reliability or convenience for the end user. He truly contributed many valuable enhancements that I hadn't even anticipated!
An ideal performer for complex projects. I recommend!
Freelancer's review of cooperation with Vitaly Zirka

Good day. I have my own OLX parser, so I have worked with accounts. There is a nuance with the first login to the accounts, but nothing critical, we will discuss it. I have a sufficient level of emulation of human activity; out of my 30 accounts, none have been blocked in about six months (parsing 24/7). Overall, there are many small nuances in your project, but they need to be resolved as they arise. I am indicating an approximate, but close to final cost. I will be happy to collaborate.

I have experience in parsing and data collection: I have created parsers for wigs and cosmetic products, and I have spent a lot of time working on data collection about runners and other platforms.
For your task, I can implement an automatic bot for OLX that will check 30–50 accounts, send messages via Telegram/email, store cookies, and work stably without blocks.

69 Hello!
I am a professional Python developer with extensive experience in automation, parsing, bot creation, and web tools.
I have completed over 500 projects — from simple competitor price parsers to complex systems that gather millions of products from Amazon, bypassing Cloudflare, captchas, IP blocks, and authorizations.
I have worked with websites such as:
- Amazon
- Instagram
… - Facebook
- Google
- Twitter
- LinkedIn
- Walmart
and many others.
Technologies I work with:
- Python
- Requests
- BeautifulSoup
- Selenium
- Playwright
- Scrapy
- Undetected Chromedriver
- IP rotation
- Django + PostgreSQL.
For large projects, I create admin panels and databases for convenient work with the collected data.
I also have my own lead database with emails, phone numbers, and social media, which will help speed up your marketing or sales.
I am ready to show a test example before starting work so you can assess the quality. Write to me, tell me about the task — and we will find the best solution for your business.

1252 16 0 The assigned task can be fully resolved. Of course, there are a few nuances, but these are details that can be discussed in private messages.
I can complete the order using Python + Selenium, probably with user agent and proxy substitution. I can compile the script into a full-fledged application for Windows, and I will set up auto-start without any problems.

318 11 1 2 Hello! I have experience in developing automated solutions for working with multiple accounts on platforms like OLX, including bypassing restrictions and minimizing the risk of bans. I can implement a bot that will log in once on each account, store and update cookies, check messages at a specified random interval, use unique User-Agent and delays, and when a new message is detected, send a notification to Telegram with the account number and text (if possible). If desired, we can also integrate with email. The bot can operate either on your local laptop with auto-start and auto-restart, or on a VPS with proxies, if needed. Additionally, I can offer a more optimized version without Selenium using direct requests (API approach), which will reduce the load, speed up checks, and further decrease the likelihood of bans.

296 Good day!
I have reviewed your description — I understand how critical it is not to miss incoming messages from OLX. I am ready to create a solution that will check 50 accounts, work reliably 24/7, and send notifications to Telegram in real time.
I can offer two implementation options:
Quick start — Selenium + cookie saving, different User-Agent, random delays, automatic restart.
Extended — we will add proxies for security, optimization for VPS (Hetzner/DigitalOcean), flexible settings for intervals and notification formats.
…
Deadline: 4–7 days depending on the chosen option. I am ready to discuss the details and suggest the optimal way without putting extra load on OLX.
If you are interested — I can sketch out a workflow today and show how it will look in Telegram.

I have a working script for warming up browsers in Dolphin Anti, it operates with a similar logic to what you need.
I suggest using Selenium after all - it is ideal for your case.
Regarding security: proxy, anti-detect browser, the same Dolphin.

Может кто-то занимается OLX
Может у вас тоже есть больше 10 аккаунтов
Предложите свои методы отслеживать сообщений.
Может я использую почту google которая сама фильтрует сообщения и не все доходят. Может вы используете другую почту которая работает 100%.
Рассмотрю любые варианты.

Наскільки пам'ятаю, офіційне API взагалі доступу до повідомлень не має..
Тому тут тільки неофіційні методи, які ніколи не дадуть 100% гарантії... -
