Facebook Marketplace Scraper

Facebook Marketplace scraper for public listings. Paste a Marketplace search URL or a keyword, run the actor, and get title, price, location, seller, and photo into a clean dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

It works on public Marketplace pages only. Content that requires a login is out of scope.

What data does this actor extract

Field	Meaning
listingId	Marketplace listing id
listingTitle	Public listing title
price	Formatted asking price
priceAmount	Numeric price amount when present
strikethroughPrice	Previous or crossed-out price when present
city	City from the listing location
state	State or region
locationDisplay	Broader location display name
sellerName	Public seller name when available

Use cases

• Research local resale prices for furniture, bikes, or electronics before you buy or sell
• Price your own listing by comparing near-identical items in the same city
• Spot underpriced goods to review by hand against the local median
• Compare used car asking prices across metro areas
• Size supply for a category such as strollers or gaming consoles
• Schedule deal alerts into Sheets, Make, Zapier, or n8n

How to run

1. Add one or more public Marketplace URLs under startUrls, or set searchQuery with a location slug such as nyc.
2. Optionally set price, sort, days-listed, or condition filters.
3. Set maxItems if you want more than the default of 3 (up to 1000).
4. Start the run and download the dataset.

A URL that returns no listings writes an error row and the run continues with the next URL.
