Facebook Marketplace Scraper

🚀 What is Facebook Marketplace Scraper?

Facebook Marketplace Scraper is an Apify Actor that collects public Marketplace listings from search links, category links, single listing links, listing ids or plain keywords. Each listing becomes one row with price, photos, place, condition, seller details and vehicle or property specs. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel. No Facebook account or cookies are needed.

• Bulk input: use it as an FB marketplace scraper for many links and keywords in one run, with one row per listing.
• Facebook Marketplace scraper - no login: the Actor reads only what any visitor can see, so you never share an account.
• Live rows: every listing is saved as soon as it is read, so rows appear in the Output tab while the run is still going.
• Filters: narrow by price, condition, age of the listing, delivery method and availability.
• Vehicles and homes: year, make and mileage are filled in for cars, and bedrooms and bathrooms for homes, when the listing shows them.

📊 What data can you extract from Facebook Marketplace?

Each listing in the main table has up to 71 fields. These are the ones most people take from this Facebook Marketplace data scraper. A field that Marketplace does not show for a listing stays null.

Field	Description	Example
id, url, title	Listing id, link and title	1568638318275481, Electric Bike
price, price_amount, currency	Price as shown, numeric price and currency code	$400, 400.0, USD
original_price, is_free	Price before a reduction, and whether the item is listed for free	false
condition, condition_label	Condition code and the label shown on the listing	used_good
category_name, description	Category and the seller's text (needs listing details)	Bicycles
city, state, location_text, latitude, longitude	Place of the listing	Jersey City, NJ
images, image_count, videos	Photo links, number of photos, video links	7
status, is_live, is_sold, is_pending	Availability of the item	AVAILABLE
created_at, days_listed, scraped_at	When the listing was created, its age in days, when it was collected	2026-10-16T06:21:31Z
vehicle_year, vehicle_make, vehicle_model, vehicle_mileage	Car details when the listing shows them	2018, Honda
property_type, bedrooms, bathrooms	Rental and home details, read from the listing text	2
seller_name, seller_rating, seller_joined, seller_verified, seller_is_business	Who sells it, rating, join date, verified badge and business flag	4.8
search_query, search_location, position, source_url	Which input produced the listing and where it ranked	bike, nyc, 1

Four more tables are written next to the main one and are not charged: Sellers (one row per listing seller), Photos and videos (one row per file), Attributes (one row per listing attribute) and Inputs (one row per link or keyword you gave, including ones that failed). A SUMMARY record holds the run totals. The Sellers table is Facebook Marketplace seller data such as rating, join date and business flag. Together the tables form a Facebook Marketplace dataset you can open in a sheet.

⚠️ The description, all photos, condition, category, coordinates, attributes, seller rating and join date, and the vehicle and property fields are filled only when Include listing details is on.

2. Add one or more Marketplace search links, category links, listing links, listing ids or keywords to Marketplace links or keywords.
3. Enter a Location such as nyc, Austin, TX or 40.73,-74.06 if you use keywords.
4. Set Maximum listings and any filters, such as price range or Listed within.
5. Keep Include listing details on if you need descriptions, all photos and seller details.

7. Download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML.

How to monitor Facebook Marketplace for new listings

Set Sort by to Newest first, Listed within to Last 24 hours and schedule the run daily in Apify (see schedules). With that setup you scrape Facebook Marketplace data every day and each run returns a fresh table to compare with the last one. Marketplace returns no listings when Listed within is combined with price sorting, so use Newest first or Best match.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Facebook Marketplace?

The Actor uses pay per event pricing. You pay for each listing saved to the main table, plus a very small start fee.

• Results (main_result): charged once for every listing saved to the main table.
• Actor start (apify-actor-start): $0.00005 per run (one event per GB of memory; this Actor runs with 1024 MB).

Plan tier	Price per result	Price per 1,000 results
Free	$0.002	1,000 x $0.002 = $2.00
Bronze	$0.0018	1,000 x $0.0018 = $1.80
Silver	$0.0016	1,000 x $0.0016 = $1.60
Gold and above	$0.0014	1,000 x $0.0014 = $1.40

Example: 500 listings on the Free tier cost 500 x $0.002 = $1.00, plus the $0.00005 start fee, so $1.00005 in total. The same 500 listings on the Gold tier cost 500 x $0.0014 = $0.70, plus the start fee.

The Sellers, Photos and videos, Attributes and Inputs tables are not charged. Apify platform usage (compute) is billed on top of the events above. You can set a maximum spend for a run; when it is reached the run stops cleanly and keeps every listing already saved. See the Pricing tab of the Actor page for current prices.

⬇️ Input

Only Marketplace links or keywords is required. Start small: the form is pre-filled with one search link and a limit of 10 listings. Each field is explained in the Input tab of the Actor page. Give it keywords or search links and it works as a Facebook Marketplace search scraper for any city you name.

Field	What it does
urls	Search links, category links, listing links, listing ids or keywords such as iphone 13
location	City name (nyc, london), a place such as Austin, TX, or lat,lon. Empty uses the city in each link, or New York
resultsLimit	Maximum listings per link or keyword (default 10). Use 0 for as many as Marketplace returns
includeListingDetails	Opens each listing for the full details (default on), which makes the run a Facebook Marketplace listing details scraper. Slower, one extra request per listing
minPrice, maxPrice	Price range
condition	new, used_like_new, used_good, used_fair
listedWithin	any, 24h, 7d, 30d
sortBy	best_match, newest, price_low, price_high, distance
radiusKm	Distance from the location
delivery	any, pickup, shipping
availability	any, available, sold
proxyConfiguration	Optional proxy. Runs start without one and switch to another connection if blocked

{
  "urls": ["bike"],
  "location": "nyc",
  "resultsLimit": 10,
  "includeListingDetails": true,
  "maxPrice": 300,
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "availability": "available"
}

💡 Category links support only price and distance filters. Other filters are ignored with a warning. A single listing link or id returns one row and ignores the filters, location and limit.

⚠️ Marketplace may ignore the search radius for visitors who are not logged in, and shipping-only searches often return no listings.

⬆️ Output

Results are stored in the run's dataset. Open the Output tab to browse the tables, and note that the table view does not show every field. Export the listings as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML, or read them through the Apify API for Facebook Marketplace data analytics in your own tools. The sample below is illustrative: it uses made-up values and shows a short selection of fields, continuing from the input above.

{
  "id": "1000000000000001",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1000000000000001/",
  "title": "City bike, 21 speed",
  "price": "$120",
  "price_amount": 120.0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "condition": "used_good",
  "condition_label": "Used - good",
  "category_name": "Bicycles",
  "city": "Brooklyn",
  "state": "NY",
  "image_count": 4,
  "status": "AVAILABLE",
  "is_live": true,
  "created_at": "2026-10-25T08:30:00Z",
  "days_listed": 1.2,
  "seller_name": "Example Seller",
  "seller_rating": 4.9,
  "search_query": "bike",
  "search_location": "nyc",
  "position": 1,
  "has_details": true,
  "scraped_at": "2026-10-26T10:00:00Z"
}

Use the Inputs table and the SUMMARY record to check what happened: SUMMARY holds the number of listings saved and billed, requests made, run duration, notices and one entry per input.

⚠️ Limitations and error handling

• Facebook Marketplace data scraping covers public data only. Private profiles, messages and saved items are not available.
• A very large search is read up to a built-in page limit per input, so use more specific links or filters to cover more ground.
• Real-estate category links are not supported; use a keyword search such as apartment instead.
• The Actor does not send alerts by itself. Schedule runs and connect them to other apps with webhooks and integrations.
• This is not the official Facebook Marketplace API; the Actor reads public pages.
• Property fields (property_type, bedrooms, bathrooms) are read from listing text, so check them before relying on them.
• As a Facebook Marketplace vehicle scraper it reads year and mileage from the title and subtitle when the details page does not give them, so spot-check cars before you compare prices.
• Fields that need listing details are null when Include listing details is off or the listing page cannot be read.

The Inputs table gives each link or keyword a status:

Status	Meaning
ok	Listings were saved
empty	The input worked but no listing matched
failed	The input could not be read or loaded; the error column says why
skipped	The run stopped earlier, for example after the connection was lost or the spend limit was reached

Example row for a listing id that is no longer available:

{
  "input": "1000000000000009",
  "type": "item",
  "status": "failed",
  "listings": 0,
  "error": "this listing is unavailable (removed, hidden or private)"
}

Run status messages you may see: N listings saved, No listings matched - check the links, keywords and filters, Nothing collected - <reason> and Spend limit reached before the run started - nothing to do. Listings saved before a stop are always kept.

🔌 Integrating Facebook Marketplace Scraper with other apps

• Schedules: run the same search daily or weekly to build a Facebook Marketplace database of listings over time. See Apify schedules.
• Apify API: start runs and download results from your own code with the Apify API, which gives scripts and dashboards a Facebook Marketplace data API.
• Webhooks and integrations: send finished runs to other apps such as Google Sheets, Make or Zapier (see Apify integrations).
• Price monitoring: with a scheduled run the Actor works as a price monitoring scraper, so you can compare price_amount between runs.
• Cars: search a car keyword to get Facebook Marketplace vehicle listings with year, make and mileage.
• AI agents: the Actor can be called through the Apify MCP server.
