OfferUp Scraper — Listings, Prices & Seller Data

Scrape OfferUp listings at scale by keyword or direct URL. Extract titles, prices, locations, conditions, seller profiles, images, and shipping details from the largest US local marketplace. No API key, no login required.

What does OfferUp Scraper do?

This actor scrapes OfferUp's public search feed and listing detail pages to extract structured marketplace data. It uses OfferUp's server-rendered __NEXT_DATA__ JSON payload — no browser required, no API key needed.

In search mode, it paginates through OfferUp's search results using the nextPageCursor mechanism, collecting up to 50 listings per page. Each page returns listing titles, prices, locations, conditions, images, and delivery flags. In detail mode, it fetches individual listing pages and extracts the full Apollo GraphQL cache, which includes descriptions, category trees, seller profiles with ratings, GPS coordinates, all listing images, posting dates, and shipping details.

The scraper supports OfferUp's native filters: price range, item condition (New, Used, Open box, Reconditioned, For parts), and sort order (recent first, price ascending/descending, closest, best match). Datacenter proxies work reliably.

Who is it for?

• Resellers and flippers tracking local deals and price arbitrage opportunities across US markets
• Market researchers analyzing secondhand pricing trends, supply density, and category demand
• E-commerce analysts monitoring competitor pricing and inventory on the US local marketplace

• Competitor intelligence: Monitor what resellers and business accounts are listing, their pricing strategies, and seller ratings

Tips for best results

• Use specific keywords — "macbook pro m2" returns more targeted results than "laptop". OfferUp's search works best with specific product names.
• Combine keywords and filters — Use priceMin/priceMax with condition to narrow down to exactly what you need and avoid wasting compute.
• Sort by recent — Set sortBy to -posted to get the freshest listings first, useful for deal monitoring.
• Start with search mode — Keyword search is fast (no per-listing requests). Use direct URLs only when you need descriptions and seller data.
• Set reasonable maxResults — Each search page returns ~50 listings. Setting maxResults: 500 means ~10 pages per keyword, which runs in seconds.
• Detail pages need US proxy — If you use direct listing URLs and get geo-blocked, switch to the BUYPROXIES94952 proxy group (US datacenter IPs).
• Deduplicate across keywords — The scraper automatically deduplicates listings across keywords within the same run.
• Schedule regular runs — Use Apify Scheduler to run daily or weekly and track new listings or price changes over time.
• Check null fields — Search mode returns core fields only. Fields like description, sellerName, and images are null in search mode — use direct URLs for those.
• Monitor vehicle listings — OfferUp has a large vehicles section. Use condition and price filters to find cars, and the vehicleMiles field for mileage data.

FAQ

Does OfferUp Scraper require an API key or login?

No. This scraper works entirely with OfferUp's public pages. No API key, no account login, and no cookies are required. It extracts data from server-rendered HTML that OfferUp serves to any visitor.

What data does it extract from search results vs. detail pages?

Search mode extracts title, price, location, condition, image, shipping/pickup flags, and listing URL. Detail mode (direct URLs) adds the full description, category tree, seller name/rating/join date, GPS coordinates, all images, posting date, and quantity.

How many listings can I scrape in one run?

There is no hard limit. A typical search keyword returns 50 listings per page, and the scraper follows pagination automatically. You can collect thousands of listings per keyword. Set maxResults to control the volume.

Why do some fields show null in search mode?

Fields like description, sellerName, category, postDate, and images are only available on the detail page. In search mode, the scraper extracts only what OfferUp includes in the search feed. To get full data, provide the listing URL in startUrls.

Why am I getting zero results for detail URLs?

Detail pages may return "Geolocation Unavailable" when accessed from non-US IP addresses. Switch to the BUYPROXIES94952 proxy group in the proxy configuration, which routes through US-based datacenter IPs.

What export formats are available?

You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, or RSS directly from the Apify Console. You can also connect to Google Sheets for automatic syncing.

How fast is the scraper?

Search mode is very fast — each page request returns ~50 listings and takes 1-2 seconds. A run collecting 500 listings typically finishes in under 30 seconds. Detail mode is slower since it makes one request per listing URL.

Is it legal to scrape OfferUp?

This scraper extracts only publicly available listing data that any visitor can see on offerup.com without logging in. The data is factual marketplace information (prices, titles, locations). Users are responsible for complying with applicable laws, OfferUp's Terms of Service, and data protection regulations in their jurisdiction.

Does OfferUp block scraping?

OfferUp's search pages work reliably with standard datacenter proxies. Detail pages may enforce geographic restrictions (US-only access). The scraper handles retries and proxy rotation automatically.

Can I filter by location or city?

OfferUp's search results are influenced by the proxy's geographic location. The scraper uses rotating datacenter proxies, so results may come from various US cities. For location-specific results, you can filter the output data by the location field.

How often is the data updated?

OfferUp listings are live and change frequently. Schedule the scraper to run hourly or daily to track new listings, removed listings, and price changes over time.
