💰 How much does it cost to scrape Facebook Marketplace vehicles?

Facebook Marketplace Vehicle Scraper runs on Apify's pay-per-use model. You only pay for the compute resources you use.

Listings	Standard	With Detailed Fetch
50	~$0.05	~$0.15
200	~$0.15	~$0.50
500	~$0.35	~$1.20

Costs vary based on filters, location, and whether detailed fetch is enabled. Residential proxy usage is included in compute costs.

Free tier: New Apify users get $5 in free credits monthly — enough to scrape hundreds of vehicle listings!

🔍 Fetch Detailed Item Info

Toggle Fetch Detailed Item Info in the input to control how much data you get per listing:

	Standard (off)	Detailed Fetch (on)
Speed	Fast	Slower (1 extra request per listing)
Cost	Low	Higher (additional proxy usage)
Listing date	✅ Approximate (~1 min accuracy)	✅ Exact creation time
Description	—	✅ Full seller description
Make/Model/Year	—	✅ Structured vehicle data
Mileage	—	✅ Odometer reading + unit
Colors	—	✅ Exterior + interior
Condition	—	✅ Vehicle condition rating
Seller info	—	✅ Name, type, dealership
All photos	—	✅ Every listing photo
Coordinates	—	✅ Latitude/longitude

Recommendation: Start with detailed fetch off for speed and cost savings. Enable it when you need the richer vehicle data (mileage, condition, seller, description).

📅 How listing dates work

Every listing automatically gets an approximate posting date — no extra cost, no extra requests. This means:

• Age filtering always works — filter by "Last 1 hour", "Last 24 hours", etc. without enabling detailed fetch
• Discord timestamps always show — "Listed 2 hours ago in Edmonton, AB"
• Accuracy: ~1 minute of the actual posting time

When Fetch Detailed Item Info is enabled, the scraper also gets the exact creation_time from Facebook and uses it for a second, more precise age filter pass.

💬 Discord notifications for new listings

Never miss a deal! Set up Discord notifications to get instant alerts when new vehicles match your criteria:

1. Create a webhook in your Discord server (Server Settings > Integrations > Webhooks)
2. Copy the webhook URL
3. Paste it into the "Discord Webhook URL" field
4. Configure notification preferences (new items only, image style, etc.)

Each notification includes:

• Vehicle photo (thumbnail or full size)
• Title, price, and location
• Live-updating relative time — "Listed 2 hours ago" (auto-updates in Discord)
• Direct link to the listing
• Available/Sold status

🔤 Filtering by keywords

Facebook only lets you filter by ONE make at a time. Use the Keywords feature to filter by multiple makes, models, or features:

{
  "keywords": ["BMW", "Mercedes", "Audi", "M3", "AMG", "S-line"]
}

Keywords match against listing titles, descriptions, and vehicle attributes. Perfect for:

• Finding specific trims (GT, Sport, Limited)
• Filtering luxury brands together
• Searching for specific features (leather, sunroof, AWD)

🔄 Deduplication across runs

The scraper remembers listings from previous runs, so you can:

• Monitor new listings: Run daily and only see fresh inventory
• Avoid duplicates: Perfect for building a unique dataset over time
• Get Discord alerts for new items only: No spam from listings you've already seen

Deduplication data persists in your Apify storage between runs.

✨ Tips for best results

1. Start with a smaller radius — Begin with 40-65km and expand if needed
2. Use age filtering — "Maximum Listing Age" catches bumped/boosted old listings that appear as new
3. Enable detailed fetch selectively — Only when you need mileage, condition, seller, or description data
4. Combine keywords strategically — Filter by multiple makes OR specific trims/features
5. Run scheduled jobs — Set up hourly or daily runs to monitor the market continuously
6. Use Discord alerts — Get instant notifications instead of checking the dataset manually

🛠️ Using the API

run_input = {
    "location": "Toronto, Ontario",
    "makes": "367577657422824",  # Toyota
    "priceMax": 25000,
    "maxResults": 50
}

run = client.actor("your-username/facebook-marketplace-vehicle-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["marketplace_listing_title"], item["listing_price"]["formatted_amount"])

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('your-username/facebook-marketplace-vehicle-scraper').call({
    location: 'Toronto, Ontario',
    makes: '367577657422824',  // Toyota
    priceMax: 25000,
    maxResults: 50
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(item => console.log(item.marketplace_listing_title));

❓ FAQ

What vehicle types can I scrape?

The scraper supports all Facebook Marketplace vehicle categories: Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, Powersports (ATVs, snowmobiles), RVs & Campers, Boats, Commercial & Industrial vehicles, and Trailers.

Why do I need residential proxies?

Facebook blocks datacenter IP addresses. The scraper uses Apify's residential proxy network to access Marketplace reliably. This is included automatically — no extra configuration needed.

Can I scrape multiple locations?

Currently, the scraper searches one location per run. For multiple locations, you can run the scraper multiple times with different locations, use the Apify Scheduler to automate runs, or orchestrate via the API.

Do I need "Fetch Detailed Item Info" for age filtering?

No. Age filtering works out of the box using approximate listing dates. Enabling detailed fetch adds a second, more precise filter pass using the exact creation time, but is not required.

How accurate is the listing date without detailed fetch?

The approximate listing date is accurate to within ~1 minute of the actual posting time. This is precise enough for age filtering and Discord timestamps.

Can I filter by multiple makes?

Facebook's native filters only allow one make at a time. Use the Keywords feature to filter by multiple makes (e.g., "BMW, Mercedes, Audi").

Is scraping Facebook Marketplace legal?

Web scraping publicly available data is generally legal. This scraper only extracts publicly visible listing information — no private user data, login credentials, or personal information. Always use scraped data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws.
