## 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

### What does Facebook Marketplace Listings Scraper do?

**Scrape [Facebook Marketplace](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/) listings worldwide** without a Facebook login. Get **prices with currency, titles, cities, listing URLs, and images** from any category, keyword search, or pasted Marketplace URL. Seller names, phones, and profile URLs are **never written**.

**Unofficial.** Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by Meta or Facebook.

**Dashboards:** connect **Power BI**, **Tableau**, **Looker Studio**, or **Qlik** to the dataset API — see *Export to Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio & Qlik* near the end. **AI agents:** paste this Actor’s Store page URL into an Apify-capable agent (MCP / Claude / Cursor with Apify), create an Apify account and API token once, and the agent can run the Actor and wire up the output.

#### Why this Actor?

- 🛒 Works across **Marketplace categories** (electronics, vehicles, home, apparel, property, and more)
- 🔗 Accepts **start URLs** (drop-in for the official Apify Marketplace scraper) or city / lat-lon filters
- 📍 Uses **map lat/lon + radius** feeds (more reliable than city slug URLs alone)
- 💱 Prices kept **with currency** when Facebook exposes them
- 🔒 **No login / cookies**; seller PII stripped by design
- 🛡️ Prefers Apify **Residential** proxy in your target country

#### How to run

1. Open this Actor in [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/).
2. Click **Start** on the prefilled New York electronics sample (`maxResults` 5).
3. Set Residential proxy country to match your market (US, GB, HU, …).
4. Export the dataset or pull via API.

```json
{
  "cities": "newyork",
  "categories": "electronics",
  "maxResults": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

#### How much does it cost?

**Pay per event (PPE):** Actor start + each listing **result**. On Free, results are about **$2.00 / 1,000**; paid plans are lower (see the Pricing tab). Platform usage is included. Undercuts the official Apify Facebook Marketplace Scraper listing PPE.

#### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | Marketplace category / search / city URLs (optional) |
| `cities` / `location` | City labels with known map centers, or freeform slugs |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | Optional exact map center |
| `categories` | e.g. `electronics`, `vehicles`, `propertyforsale` |
| `searchKeyword` / `query` | Optional keyword search |
| `maxResults` / `resultsLimit` | Listing cap (prefill 5) |
| `usePriceBands` | Shard by price for deeper coverage (default off) |
| `radiusKm` | Optional search radius override |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Apify Residential + target country recommended |

#### Sample output

```json
{
  "listingId": "917807718069871",
  "title": "iPhone 14 Pro 128GB",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/917807718069871",
  "category": "electronics",
  "price": 650,
  "currency": "USD",
  "city": "New York",
  "imageUrl": "https://scontent…",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-04T08:00:00+00:00"
}
```

#### Tips

- Prefer **Residential** proxy in the **same country** as the Marketplace region you target.
- City **slug** Marketplace URLs often rewrite to IP-local empty shells; this Actor prefers geo centers.
- Guest GraphQL pagination is optional and often rate-limited — turn on price-band sharding for deeper coverage.
- Seller personal data is never emitted.

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).
