Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use 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 ## Facebook Marketplace Scraper — Local Listings & Prices, No Login Scrape **Facebook Marketplace** local listings by **area** — no Facebook account, no cookies, no login required. Get titles, prices, locations, images, conditions and direct listing URLs as clean structured data. Most Marketplace scrapers break because Facebook hides everything behind a login wall and aggressively rate-limits datacenter IPs. This actor uses a **real Chromium browser + residential proxies** (routed through the requested US state) and reads Marketplace's own public local feed the same way your browser does — so it keeps working without an account. > **How location works:** Facebook geolocates the public feed to your IP. This actor routes residential proxies through the **US state** matching your `location`, so listings come back local to that area. It then reloads the feed across fresh sessions to accumulate more unique listings. > **About keyword search:** Facebook gates true keyword *search* behind login. This actor reads the public **local feed** (no login), so the optional `searchQuery` is a best-effort client-side title filter — for full, reliable results, leave it empty. ### What you get per listing | Field | Example | |-------|---------| | `title` | `2013 Chevrolet Cruze · 1LT Sedan 4D` | | `price` / `priceAmount` | `$1,950` / `1950` | | `condition` | `Used` | | `location` / `city` / `state` | `Oakland, California` / `Oakland` / `CA` | | `details` | `88K miles` | | `imageUrl` | `https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/...jpg` | | `listingUrl` | `https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2801263570237384/` | | `deliveryTypes` | `["IN_PERSON"]` | | `createdAt` | `2026-05-27T22:44:47.000Z` | | `isSold` / `isPending` | `false` / `false` | | `categoryId`, `currency`, `sellerName` | … | ### Input ```json { "location": "Miami", "maxResults": 50, "minPrice": 100, "maxPrice": 800, "proxyCountry": "US" } ```` - **location** — a US city (`Miami`), `City, ST`, a US state, or exact `lat,lng`. Routes the proxy through the matching US state so listings are local. - **maxResults** — cap on listings returned (1–500). - **searchQuery** — *optional* best-effort title filter. Leave empty for full results (see note above). - **minPrice / maxPrice** — optional price filters. - **proxyCountry** — residential proxy country (`US`, `GB`, `CA`, `AU`, …). **Residential proxies are required** — Facebook rate-limits datacenter IPs. ### Output (sample) ```json { "listingId": "2801263570237384", "title": "2013 Chevrolet Cruze · 1LT Sedan 4D", "price": "$1,950", "priceAmount": 1950, "currency": "USD", "condition": "Used", "location": "Oakland, California", "city": "Oakland", "state": "CA", "details": "88K miles", "imageUrl": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/...jpg", "listingUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2801263570237384/", "deliveryTypes": ["IN_PERSON"], "createdAt": "2026-05-27T22:44:47.000Z", "isSold": false, "isPending": false } ``` ### Use cases - **Resellers & flippers** — find underpriced inventory across cities and react fast. - **Price monitoring** — track what comparable items actually sell for in a market. - **Local lead generation** — surface sellers and inventory in a target metro. - **Market research** — measure supply, pricing and condition mix by category and city. ### Pricing Pay-per-event: - **$0.005** per actor start - **$0.008** per listing returned A 50-listing run costs about **$0.40**. You only pay for listings actually delivered. ### Notes & limitations (read this) - **No login, no credentials.** Uses residential proxies + a real browser to read Marketplace's public local feed. - **Location is state-level**, not exact-city. Facebook geolocates the feed by IP and Apify residential proxies target US states (not individual cities), so results are local to the requested state/metro area. - **Keyword search needs login** on Facebook's side, which this actor deliberately avoids. The public feed is a live local browse feed (heavy on vehicles, furniture, electronics, free items). `searchQuery` filters that feed by title — leave it empty for full results. - **Per-load batch.** Facebook serves ~20 listings per public feed load and gates pagination; this actor reloads with fresh sessions to gather more, so very large `maxResults` may return fewer if the local feed is sparse. - Reads Facebook's public pages only; use responsibly and within Facebook's terms and your local laws. ### FAQ **How do I scrape Facebook Marketplace listings?** Set `location` to a US city, `City, ST`, state, or `lat,lng`, choose `maxResults`, optionally add `minPrice`/`maxPrice`, and run the actor. It routes a residential proxy through the matching US state and returns local listings with title, price, condition, location, image, and direct listing URL — no Facebook account needed. **Do I need an API key or to log in?** No. There is no login, cookie, Facebook account, or API key required. The actor reads Marketplace's public local feed through a real browser and residential proxies. **Why use this instead of an official Facebook Marketplace API?** There is no public Facebook Marketplace API — Meta does not offer one for browsing listings, and it gates keyword search and most data behind a login wall. This actor reads the same public local feed your browser sees, so you can extract listings programmatically without an account. **Is there a Facebook Marketplace API alternative?** Yes — since no official API exists, this actor is the practical alternative for pulling Marketplace listings at scale, returning local prices, conditions, and listing URLs as a clean dataset with pay-per-event pricing. **Why are results state-level and why is keyword search limited?** Facebook geolocates the public feed by IP, and Apify residential proxies target US states rather than individual cities, so listings come back local to the state/metro. True keyword search is gated behind login, which the actor avoids — so `searchQuery` is a best-effort client-side title filter; leave it empty for full results. **Is scraping Facebook Marketplace legal?** The actor reads only Facebook's public pages — no login or personal data. Public-data scraping is generally permitted, but you are responsible for using the data within Facebook's terms and your local laws. ### Automate it Add this actor to an Apify **Schedule** for recurring runs — for example a daily sweep of a target metro and price band to surface freshly listed, underpriced inventory before other resellers. Pipe results into **Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, or a webhook/CRM** via Apify integrations so new local listings reach you the moment they appear. Recurring monitoring is what turns a one-off browse into a live local-deal feed. ### Related actors - [Facebook Ad Library Scraper](https://apify.com/renzomacar/facebook-ads-library-scraper) — Spy on any brand's live Facebook & Instagram ads, also without login. - [eBay Product Scraper](https://apify.com/renzomacar/ebay-products) — Compare local Marketplace prices against eBay sold listings for arbitrage. - [Amazon Product Scraper](https://apify.com/renzomacar/amazon-products) — Cross-reference resale finds against current Amazon retail prices. - [Yelp Businesses Scraper](https://apify.com/renzomacar/yelp-businesses) — Build local business and seller leads in a target metro. - [Google Maps Businesses Scraper](https://apify.com/renzomacar/google-maps-businesses) — Generate local leads and supplier contacts in any city.
