Scrape facebook marketplace with highly targeted/customized search queries and filters. Export and download data to CSV/JSON etc.
No output from non-US cities/locations
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.

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.
