Hi! We can not use anything with Facebook login for scraping because of legal reasons, i.e. "Creator Marketplace" links shared by you is not data sources available for scraper. Closest match to get described data format is to use combination of FB Pages https://console.apify.com/view/runs/lmv1NZXrkrPpaDS7r and FB Posts https://console.apify.com/view/runs/nWKl2zW9qc3guH0Pc

Can you please provide example of the targeted page with some URLs of sponsored posts?

Hello, as with the other issues this will require a custom solution, and I believe one of my colleagues is already in touch with you via email. I'm going to close this issue for now, but feel free to reach out with other questions.
