## Pricing

from $1.45 / 1,000 marketplace listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

### Facebook Marketplace Scraper — Listings, Prices | from $2/1K

Scrape **Facebook Marketplace** listings by location, keyword, category, and price range.

Returns title, price, condition, description, city/state, GPS coordinates, image URLs, listing URL, and posted time — **no Facebook login required** for public listings.

### What you get per listing

| Field | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | Search | FB listing ID |
| `title` | Search | Listing title |
| `price` | Search | Formatted string, e.g. "$450" |
| `price_amount` | Search | Numeric (450.0) |
| `currency` | Search | Usually "USD" |
| `condition` | Detail | New / Used - Good / Used - Like New / etc. |
| `description` | Detail | Full listing description text |
| `city` / `state` | Search | Approximate location |
| `location` | Search | Display string, e.g. "San Francisco, California" |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | Detail | Precise GPS coordinates |
| `image_urls` | Detail | All image URLs |
| `thumbnail_url` | Search | Primary thumbnail |
| `image_count` | Detail | Count of images |
| `listing_url` | Computed | `facebook.com/marketplace/item/<id>/` |
| `posted_time` | Detail | ISO 8601 timestamp |
| `delivery_types` | Search | IN_PERSON, DOOR_PICKUP, SHIPPING |
| `is_sold` | Detail | Boolean |
| `seller_name` | — | **Not available** — Facebook hides this for logged-out users |
| `parse_confidence` | QA | 0–1 quality score |

### Known limitation

**Seller name is not returned for anonymous (logged-out) access.** Facebook hides it for privacy — `seller_name` will always be `null`. This is a platform-level restriction, not a parser limitation. Workaround: login-based scraping (requires credentials; not supported by this actor).

### Inputs

| Input | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `location` | ✓ | `newyork` | City slug from Marketplace URL (e.g. `sanfrancisco`, `losangeles`, `chicago`) |
| `query` | | — | Search keyword (e.g. `iphone 14`, `sofa`) |
| `categoryId` | | — | FB virtual category ID |
| `priceMin` / `priceMax` | | — | Price filter in USD |
| `radiusKm` | | 65 | Search radius in km |
| `maxItems` | | 50 | Max listings to return |
| `enrichDetails` | | `true` | Fetch full detail per listing (description, all images, condition, GPS) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | | RESIDENTIAL | Apify Residential proxy recommended |

### Access method

Uses Facebook's **internal GraphQL API** (`/api/graphql/`) — the same endpoint the Marketplace web app calls. No HTML scraping, no browser. The LSD token and live `doc_id`s are re-extracted from the page on every run, making the actor resilient to FB deploy rotations.

### Anti-bot notes

- Facebook checks IP reputation. **Datacenter IPs return empty results or login walls** — always use RESIDENTIAL proxy on cloud.
- Cursor pagination is disabled for anonymous sessions; price-range slicing is used to return >24 listings per query.


### 💰 Pricing & how we compare

**Pay-per-result (PPE): from $1.49 / 1K listings.** You are billed per `listing-item` actually returned — plus the tiny
`apify-actor-start` fee Apify waives for short runs. No subscription, no API key, no proxy fee on top.

**Our edge:** No login or cookies · keyword + location + radius search · per-listing detail enrichment (all photos, condition, seller, GPS) · `parse_confidence` on every row.

**Pricing examples** (pay only for what you get, minus Apify's 20%):

| Volume | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 listings | $0.15 |
| 1,000 listings | $1.49 |
| 10,000 listings | $14.90 |

#### How rivals price the same job (live Apify Store, checked 2026-06-09)

| Actor | Their price | What they lack vs us |
|---|---|---|
| `apify/facebook-marketplace-scraper` | $6.20/1K | king (3.3★) but needs start URLs — no keyword/location search |
| `crowdpull/facebook-marketplace-scraper` | $5.00/1K | no-login peer, but no per-listing detail depth |
| `memo23/facebook-marketplace-scraper-ppe` | $1.50/1K | 5★, but thinner per-listing fields |

_Prices above are competitors' live Store prices at the time of writing; ours is set to sit just
below the strongest comparable while returning richer, quality-scored data._
