OfferUp Scraper

🤖 What does OfferUp Scraper do?

OfferUp Scraper extracts marketplace listings from offerup.com so you can analyze local supply, monitor prices, or generate leads. It supports keyword search around a U.S. ZIP code and (optionally) enriches each result with a full details payload.

What you can do with it:

• 🔎 Track prices for items like phones, consoles, tools, furniture, etc.
• 📈 Build time-series dashboards for local market trends
• 🛍️ Generate leads for reselling or sourcing
• 🔔 Watch new listings for specific keywords

🚀 How to run

1. Add the actor to your Apify account.
2. Configure inputs (query, ZIP code, etc.).
3. Run the actor.
4. Get results from the Dataset tab (JSON, CSV, API).

💳 Cost & plans

You can try it on the Apify Free plan with monthly free credits. For heavier workloads, consider upgrading your plan on Apify for higher resource limits and more proxy usage.

📝 Input Parameters

Supply inputs in JSON. Here are all available fields:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description

query	string	iphone	Search query (e.g., "iphone 15", "sofa", "PS5").
zipCode	string	10001	U.S. ZIP code to search around.
fetchDetails	boolean	false	If true, performs 1 extra request per item and adds a rich _details object to each result.

Example input

{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "query": "playstation",

  "fetchDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],

📊 Output

The actor returns an array of listing objects. By default (without details), each item includes key marketplace fields such as listingId, title, price, locationName, formattedPrice, image, and url.

If fetchDetails: true, each item additionally contains a _details object with deeper listing, seller, photos, location, category, fulfillment, and status info.

🌍 Proxy configuration

OfferUp content is local to the U.S. This actor must run via U.S. residential proxies for best reliability.

Recommended settings:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
  "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
}

🧠 Tips & best practices

• ⏱️ Control scope with maxItems to manage run time and cost.
• 🧩 Only enable fetchDetails when you need granular data (it adds one extra request per item).
• 📍 Use a specific ZIP code close to your market of interest to improve relevance.
• 🔁 Schedule frequent, smaller runs to track price changes and new listings.

⚠️ Notes & limitations

• Results are influenced by OfferUp’s ranking and proximity to the provided ZIP code.
• Data fields may change over time as OfferUp updates its platform.
• Images are returned via OfferUp CDN links; availability can change.

📥 Exporting data

From the Dataset tab, export your results to JSON or CSV. You can also query datasets via the Apify API for automation.

⚖️ Legal
