Facebook Marketplace Browse API

GET https://scrappa.co/api/facebook/marketplace/browse?location=sanfrancisco

Browse public Facebook Marketplace listings for a location. Each listing carries the listing id, title, price in both raw and display form, currency, creation time, sold, live, hidden and pending flags, category id, primary photo, reverse-geocoded location and delivery types. This surface needs no keyword and returns about 20 listings per request. Omit the location to browse the default feed.

Errors

Handle these documented responses before retrying or showing customer-facing failures.

422

Validation Error

A required parameter is missing or malformed, for example a handle with characters Facebook does not allow or a non-numeric id.

{
    "message": "The request validation failed",
    "errors": {
        "handle": [
            "The handle is required."
        ]
    }
}
404

Not Found

The page, profile, group, event, photo, reel, post or listing does not exist, is not public, or was served by Facebook without the requested record. This is the truthful answer, not a temporary fault: it is never billed and retrying the same permalink will not change it.

{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "code": "NOT_FOUND",
        "message": "The requested Facebook resource was not found."
    },
    "meta": {
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": false
    }
}
503

Records Not Read

Facebook returned records for this request that the parser could not read. The origin status is 502 and it is reported here as 503 because Cloudflare replaces 502 and 504 bodies with its own page. This request is never billed: the customer received no data.

{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "code": "EXTRACTION_MISS",
        "message": "Facebook returned records for this request that could not be read. This request is not billed."
    },
    "meta": {
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": false
    }
}
503

Temporarily Unavailable

The upstream service is temporarily unavailable. Please retry shortly.

{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "code": "UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE",
        "message": "Facebook is temporarily unavailable. Please retry."
    },
