Smart Scrape: How It Saves You Money

Enable Smart Scrape to skip listings you've already extracted. The scraper maintains a persistent cache per search query that survives across runs indefinitely.

Refresh Window

Set refreshWindowDays to re-check recent listings for updated data. For example, refreshWindowDays: 7 re-scrapes listings from the last 7 days even if cached, so you always get fresh data on recent content.

How it works

1. Establishes an anonymous session with OfferUp — no login, no cookies, no browser
2. Resolves location from city/state or ZIP code (or uses provided lat/lng)
3. Searches via OfferUp's internal GraphQL API with your filters
4. Checks each listing against the dedup cache (if Smart Scrape is enabled)
5. Optionally fetches full details for each listing (description, photos, seller info)
6. Applies date filtering on post date (requires includeDetails)
7. Saves updated cache for next run

Is it legal to scrape OfferUp?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location beyond what is publicly displayed. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Limitations

• OfferUp's API returns up to ~50 listings per search request
• Date filtering (onlyListingsNewerThan) requires includeDetails: true since search results don't include post dates
• OfferUp may change internal APIs — report issues if extraction stops
• OfferUp rate limits apply; residential proxies recommended
• Location resolution depends on OfferUp's cookie-based geolocation
