They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does Facebook Marketplace Scraper do? **Facebook Marketplace Scraper** extracts search results and listing details from [Facebook Marketplace](https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/) - title, price, location, category, condition, seller-visible attributes, all photos, and more - **anonymously, no login or cookies required**. A single search or category URL typically yields 150-200+ unique listings (the Actor automatically pulls multiple sort orders and price bands per query, each returning a different anonymous-view batch). ### Why use Facebook Marketplace Scraper? - Track listings and pricing in a local market without manually browsing Marketplace or risking an account. - Feed Marketplace data into research, resale, or price-comparison tools. - No Facebook account, cookies, or login risk involved - runs entirely against Facebook's public, logged-out view. ### How to use Facebook Marketplace Scraper 1. Click **Try for free** (or **Start**) to open the Actor. 2. Paste one or more Marketplace search/category URLs into **Start URLs**, e.g. `https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/austin/search?query=bicycle`. 3. Optionally set **Max items** to cap how many listings are scraped - leave it blank to scrape everything a query yields. 4. Leave **Fetch listing details** on for full descriptions, exact price/currency, and category - or turn it off for a faster, search-page-only run. 5. Click **Start** and open the **Dataset** tab when it finishes. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `startUrls` | array (required) | Facebook Marketplace search or category URLs to scrape. | | `maxItems` | integer (optional) | Stop the run after this many listings. Unset by default - no cap. | | `fetchDetails` | boolean (optional) | Visit each listing's own page for description/price/category. Defaults to `true`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object (optional) | Residential proxy recommended for high-volume runs. | ### Output Each dataset item looks like this: ```json { "id": "1064565086196393", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1064565086196393/", "title": "Men’s Bicycle - Huffy Incline", "price": "$50", "amount": 50, "strikethroughPrice": null, "postedAt": "2026-08-19T16:28:33.000Z", "city": "Austin", "state": "TX", "locationText": "Austin, TX", "latitude": 30.27008, "longitude": -97.75085, "category": "Hobbies", "status": "AVAILABLE", "condition": "Used - like new", "attributes": [{ "attribute_name": "Condition", "value": "used_like_new", "label": "Used - like new" }], "deliveryTypes": ["IN_PERSON"], "isShippingOffered": false, "description": "Perfect condition, clean, and ready to ride! 26”", "photoUrls": ["https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/..."] } ``` #### Data table | Field | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `id`, `url` | Listing identifier and link | | `title`, `price`, `amount`, `currency`, `strikethroughPrice` | Core listing pricing (currency only set when `fetchDetails` is on) | | `city`, `state`, `locationText`, `latitude`, `longitude` | Location, including precise coordinates (with `fetchDetails`) | | `category`, `categoryId`, `condition`, `attributes` | Category and category-specific attributes (with `fetchDetails`) | | `status` | Listing status, e.g. `AVAILABLE` (with `fetchDetails`) | | `postedAt`, `deliveryTypes`, `isShippingOffered` | Post time and delivery/shipping options | | `description` | Full listing description (only with `fetchDetails`) | | `thumbnailUrl`, `photoUrls` | Listing photo(s) - full gallery with `fetchDetails` | ### Limitations - Facebook caps anonymous search results at ~24 listings per request - the Actor fans out across multiple sort orders and price bands automatically, typically yielding 150-200+ unique listings per query, but this isn't a true "get everything" pagination. - Seller name/profile and video URLs are not reliably extractable anonymously. ### Cost estimation This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing - see the **Pricing** tab for the current rate per listing. Since there's no built-in cap, set **Max items** if you want to bound spend on a run; leaving it blank scrapes everything a query yields. ### FAQ, disclaimers, and support This Actor only accesses data Facebook serves publicly to anonymous, logged-out visitors - no account or cookies are used or required. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Facebook/Meta. Respect Facebook's Terms of Service when using the scraped data. Found a bug or have a feature request? Use the Issues tab on this Actor's page. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Facebook Marketplace search or category URLs, e.g. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/austin/search?query=bicycle. Each search returns up to ~24 listings per request (Facebook's anonymous-view cap - no login) - the Actor automatically also fetches alternate sort orders and price bands per URL, typically yielding 150-200+ unique listings per query. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop the run once this many listings have been scraped across all start URLs. Leave blank for no cap - the run stops naturally once listings are exhausted. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, also visits each listing's own page for its full description, exact price/currency, and posted time. If disabled, only the fields available on the search results page are returned (faster, half the requests). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): A residential proxy is recommended - Facebook may flag high-volume traffic from datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/austin/search?query=bicycle" } ], "fetchDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/7hCWBQMuis9LOoeYx/builds/WLMCsPWJ37ElJKXov/openapi.json
