No output from non-US cities/locations

Closed

For some strange reason, it seems that selecting a non-US city causes the actor to produce no results. I get the impression that Facebook now requires a logged-in account to display listings in any category for non-US cities, based on the quick tests I did (this wasn't the case about a month ago).

Would it be feasible/safe to add an additional option to this actor to allow entering a Facebook account's username and password in order to perform scraping for these cases? Or is there any other possible solution to this?

The specific URL I've been trying is: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/mexicocity/cell-phones/

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. Yes, sometimes non US proxies don't do well in the sense that return 0 results. Also, the url you are using isn't supported by the actor.

Supported search urls examples

1https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/105618626137781/search?sortBy=distance_ascend&query=rebuilt%20title%20car&exact=false
2https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/nyc/search/?maxPrice=7896&sortBy=distance_ascend&query=rebuilt%20title%20car&exact=false
3https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/category/search?deliveryMethod=shipping&query=bag
4https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/category/vehicles?deliveryMethod=shipping&sortBy=price_descend&vehicleExteriorColors=black&exact=false

Search section

As, cell-phone isn't a standard category on fb marketplace, you can use the Search section to search for a custom query along with lat/lng/radius

Answering the question about whether it's possible to allow logged in scraping: with this actor, it is not possible at the moment. However, it can be done with a custom script, although there are downsides to this approach, and Facebook will eventually ban the account.
