It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Facebook Marketplace Scraper — Deals, Auto & Local Arbitrage (No Cookies) A high-performance, production-grade **Facebook Marketplace Scraper** that extracts newest listings, local deals, vehicle specifications, arbitrage opportunities, and seller details at blazing speeds—without running heavy headless browsers, and without needing Facebook cookies or account logins! *** ### ⚡ 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. *** ### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event) This actor operates on a pay-as-you-go **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model. You only pay for what you extract: | Event Name | Purpose | Price (USD) | Description | |---|---|---|---| | **`apify-default-dataset-item`** | result | `$0.0015` | Single result in the default dataset. | | **`additional-data`** | Additional cost for monitoring mode | `$0.001` | Charged for each item result check | | **`apify-actor-start`** | Actor Start | `$0.005` | Charged when the Actor starts running.
