⚡ Why Use This Scraper?

• Zero Browser Overhead (Pure HTTP Fast-Path): Powered by Crawlee and got-scraping with TLS fingerprinting (Chrome 125+) and HTTP/2 framing. Scrapes in seconds with minimal RAM (512MB) compared to 2-4GB required by Puppeteer/Playwright browsers.
• No Facebook Login or Cookies Required: Extracts public Marketplace listings directly from Facebook's Relay hydration streams and internal SSR data. Your accounts will never get banned.
• Comprehensive Listing Fields: Extracts item ID, title, formatted price, numerical price, location, high-res photos, listing creation timestamp, availability, delivery options, and listing URLs.
• Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Transparent Billing: Pay only for successful records extracted and events used—no expensive flat subscription tiers or wasted compute fees.
