2. Optionally set a ZIP code and radius to search locally
3. Set price filters if needed
4. Toggle Scrape Full Details for complete listing data (slower but richer)

Tips

• Search mode is ~10x faster than detail mode. Use it for bulk price monitoring.
• Detail mode is best when you need descriptions, all photos, or seller info.
• Use Apify Schedules to run this scraper daily/hourly for automated monitoring.
• Combine with Apify integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier) for automated workflows.

Important: Proxy Required

OfferUp blocks datacenter IP addresses. You must use residential proxies for this scraper to return results. The scraper defaults to Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy group — make sure your Apify plan includes residential proxy access.

If you get 0 results, check that proxy is set to RESIDENTIAL in the input settings.

Limitations

• Only scrapes publicly available listing data
• Requires residential proxies (included in Apify paid plans)
• OfferUp may limit results for very broad queries — use specific search terms for best results
• Seller contact info is not available through public pages
