💸 How much will scraping Facebook Marketplace cost you?

This scraper uses the Pay-per-result pricing model, so your costs can be easily calculated: it will cost you $5 to scrape 1,000 Marketplace items, so $0.005 per item. Apify provides you with $5 free usage credits every month on the Apify Free plan, so you can scrape 1,000 items on Facebook Marketplace for free for those credits.

But if you need to extract data regularly, you should get an Apify subscription. We recommend our $49/month Starter plan — that one could get you up to 9,800 Marketplace listings every month.

❓FAQ

Does Facebook Marketplace have an API?

Facebook Marketplace does not have an official API for retrieving data on Marketplace listings. While there are old sources from 2007 and an API for posting and receiving seller data (Marketplace Approval API), neither of these APIs provide access to the listings themselves. This means developers cannot use the official Marketplace API to extract details about listings on Facebook Marketplace regularly and at scale.

This is why alternative solutions like Facebook Marketplace Scraper exist. A scraper is essentially an API of its own if it allows exporting scraped data via an API.

How do I use data from Facebook Marketplace?
