Facebook Marketplace Scraper & Monitor

Scrape Facebook Marketplace listings by keyword and location, get everything newly listed in a city category by category, or run any Marketplace search URL. No Facebook account, login or cookies needed.

Turn on monitor mode and schedule it: each run returns only the listings that are new or dropped in price since the last run, and can post them straight to Discord or Slack. You're never billed for a listing you've already received, or for listings your filters drop.

What you get

For every listing:

Field	Example
Title	2008 Honda Civic Sport Sedan 4D
Price, and the crossed-out previous price when the seller cut it	3200, was 3500
Details Facebook shows under the title, like vehicle mileage	170K miles
When it was listed	2026-09-27T00:45:36Z
City and state	Houston, TX
Main photo	image link
Sold / pending status	false / false
Delivery options	in person, public meetup, shipping
Link to the listing	facebook.com/marketplace/item/...

Each row also names the keyword or category and the location it was found with. In monitor mode it says what changed (new or price-drop), the last price seen, and when the listing was first seen.

Turn on Add listing details to also get the description, condition, currency, every photo, and for vehicles: year, make, model, trim, exact mileage, transmission, fuel, colors, title status and private or dealer seller. VIN and number of owners come through only when the seller filled them in, which private sellers rarely do.

Seller names, profiles and contact details aren't collected.

How to use it

Search by keyword and location

Add one or more keywords and a location. The location can be a city ("Orlando, FL"), a neighborhood or a ZIP code ("78704"). Add more locations to run the same keywords in several cities.

{
  "searchQueries": ["road bike", "kayak"],
  "location": "Orlando, FL",
  "extraLocations": ["Tampa, FL", "32801"],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 100
}

Facebook searches roughly 40 miles around the location and sometimes mixes in listings from farther out.

Get everything new in a city

Leave Search keywords empty and set a location. The Actor goes through Facebook's categories and returns each one's newest listings. Pick Categories to limit it, or leave it empty for all 15 (vehicles, property rentals, electronics, home goods, free stuff and more).

{
  "location": "Orlando, FL",
  "categories": ["electronics", "home", "free"],
  "daysSinceListed": "1",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 100
}

Each category counts as one search. With Vehicles only on and no categories picked, only Vehicles is checked. Combine it with Monitor mode and a schedule to get only what's new since the last run.

Cut the noise

Facebook's search is loose. A "honda civic" search also returns other cars, parts and dealer ads. These filters drop that before you're charged:

• Only keep listings whose title matches the keywords: every keyword word has to be in the title.
• Exclude listings with these words: e.g. "parts", "wanted", "for parts".
• Vehicles only: keeps vehicles posted through Facebook's vehicle form (cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, with mileage and specs). Drops the tires, hardtops and bumpers that mention the model.
• Drop down-payment ads (on by default): drops dealer ads where the listed price is only the down payment, like a 2025 Tacoma "for $3,400". It reads the title ("$2,999 down", "enganche"), checks the price against the car's model year, and reads the description when listing details are on. In a test on 257 Dallas and Houston car listings it caught 34 of 37 such ads and dropped no real ones. Only cars and trucks are judged on price, so cheap motorcycles, dirt bikes and ATVs stay.

{
  "searchQueries": ["honda civic", "ford f-150"],
  "location": "Houston, TX",
  "strictKeywordMatch": true,
  "excludeKeywords": ["parts", "bumper", "wanted"]
}

Facebook's own filters are there too: Listed within (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days), Condition, Delivery method (local pickup or shipping) and Min / Max price.

Filter cars by year and mileage

Set Min / Max model year and Min / Max mileage to get only the cars you'd actually buy. Pair them with keywords, or leave keywords empty to check every new vehicle listed around a city.

{
  "searchQueries": ["toyota tacoma"],
  "location": "Dallas, TX",
  "minYear": 2018,
  "maxYear": 2020,
  "maxMileage": 100000,
  "maxPrice": 30000
}

Each listing is checked against your ranges before you're charged, so nothing outside them gets through. Listings that don't show a model year or mileage are dropped when you set those filters.

Get listing details and vehicle specs

Turn on Add listing details. Each delivered listing then also carries:

{
  "description": "Clean title, new tires, cold AC.",
  "condition": "USED",
  "currency": "USD",
  "shippingOffered": false,
  "photos": ["https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/...", "..."],
  "vehicle": {
    "year": 2013, "make": "Honda", "model": "Civic", "trim": "EX Sedan 4D",
    "mileage": 76000, "mileageUnit": "MILES", "transmission": "AUTOMATIC", "fuelType": "GASOLINE",
    "exteriorColor": "grey", "interiorColor": "black", "titleStatus": "CLEAN",
    "owners": null, "vin": null, "sellerType": "PRIVATE_SELLER", "features": []
  }
}

vehicle is null for anything that isn't a vehicle, and any spec the seller left out is null. The Output tab has a Vehicles view with the specs as columns. In monitor mode only new listings and price drops get details, so a scheduled monitor stays cheap.

Switching from another Facebook Marketplace scraper

Input written for Apify's own Facebook Marketplace Scraper works here as is: startUrls, resultsLimit and includeListingDetails are read the same way. Change the Actor name in your API call or integration and keep your input. Listings cost $0.30 per 1,000 here.

Paste search URLs

For anything else Facebook offers (vehicle year and mileage filters, subcategories), run the search on facebook.com/marketplace in your browser and paste the URL into Marketplace search URLs. You can mix URLs and keywords in one run. Filters already in a pasted URL win over the input's filters.

Monitor new listings and price drops

1. Set up your searches and turn on Monitor mode.
2. Run it once. The first run returns everything as a baseline.
3. Add a schedule (every hour, every morning, whatever fits). Each later run returns only new listings and price drops.

Results come newest first. Use a different Monitor state store name for each independent monitor.

Get alerts in Discord or Slack

Paste a Discord or Slack incoming webhook URL into Send new listings to a webhook. Each run posts what it found, with photo, price, mileage and link, and price drops marked. Nothing is sent when a run finds nothing new. Any other URL receives the listings as JSON.

For email, Google Sheets, Zapier or Make, use Apify's integrations on the Actor or your task.

Pricing

You pay per event. Platform usage is included.

Event	Price
Listing delivered	$0.0003 ($0.30 per 1,000)
Search checked (once per keyword, category or URL on each run)	$0.003
Listing details (optional)	$0.002 per listing with details
Run start	$0.00005

Examples:

• Pull 1,000 listings once: $0.30 for the listings plus $0.003 for the search. Extra pages the Actor fetches to get past 24 listings aren't charged.
• Watch one search every hour for a month: 720 checks x $0.003 = $2.16, plus $0.0003 per new listing. A busy search with 30 new listings a day adds about $0.27.
• Check a search once a day: 30 checks = $0.09 a month, plus new listings.
• 1,000 car listings with specs: $0.30 for the listings, $2 for details, $0.003 for the search.
• Everything new in a city, all 15 categories, up to 50 each: 15 searches = $0.045, plus $0.0003 per listing. A full run of 750 listings is about $0.27.

Listings you've already received are never billed in monitor mode, listings your filters drop are never billed, and a search that fails, gets blocked or comes back empty is never billed. Details are only billed when they were actually fetched. Set a maximum charge per run in the run options and the Actor stops cleanly when it's reached.

Tips

• Schedule often enough. Each search page holds the 24 newest listings. If a search gets more than 24 new listings between runs, run more often or let automatic price ranges catch the rest.
• Free stuff tops out at 24 per run. Everything in it is $0, so price ranges can't split it. Check it more often if your city lists more than that between runs.
• Photo links expire. Facebook's image links stop working after a few days. Save the images if you need them longer.
• Location not found? Try "City, ST" or a ZIP code, or paste a search URL from your browser.

FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account? No. The Actor only reads what anyone can see on Marketplace without logging in.

Why 24 listings per search page? That's what Facebook shows logged-out visitors per search. Automatic price ranges get you past it by running more narrowly priced searches.

Can I set a search radius? No. Facebook ignores the radius for anyone who isn't logged in (tested with 2 km and 160 km: identical results), and this Actor never logs in. Searches cover Facebook's default area of about 40 miles. Use More locations to cover a wider region.

Is it legal to scrape Facebook Marketplace? The Actor collects only publicly visible listing data and no personal profiles. How you use the data is up to you; check the rules that apply where you are.

Something broke? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. The Actor is tested against live Facebook every day.
