{/* Generated by scripts/generate-api-reference.mjs from data/api-reference.json. Do not edit. */}

Searches Facebook Marketplace listings by keyword and lat/lng. Pass category_id to restrict results to the numeric Facebook Marketplace category ID returned on listing results. Supports pagination with the returned cursor. Pass the cursor value back as-is. When sort_by is creation_time_descend, Facebook can still return slightly different ordering between identical requests. For alerting/new-item workflows, scrape multiple pages and dedupe by listing id instead of relying on page 1 item order being identical every run.

- **Tool id:** `scrapecreators-facebook-marketplace-search`
- **Provider:** [ScrapeCreators](/providers/scrapecreators)
- **Job:** [Search facebook marketplace](/reference/jobs/facebook-marketplace-search) (`facebook.marketplace.search`)
- **Price:** $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

```txt
{ success, listings: { id, url, price: { amount, formatted_amount, amount_with_offset_in_currency }, title, is_live, is_sold, mileage, location: { city, state, city_page_id, display_name }, is_hidden, story_key, is_pending, story_type, category_id, creation_time, primary_photo: { id, url }, delivery_types: string[], custom_subtitles: unknown[], is_viewer_seller, listing_date_text, strikethrough_price: { amount, formatted_amount } }[], has_next_page, credits_charged, credits_remaining }
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-facebook-marketplace-search","input":{"query":"<query>","lat":1,"lng":1},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "scrapecreators-facebook-marketplace-search",
    input: {
      query: "<query>",
      lat: 1,
      lng: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "scrapecreators-facebook-marketplace-search",
        "input": {
            "query": "<query>",
            "lat": 1,
            "lng": 1,
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send `job:facebook.marketplace.search` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/facebook-marketplace-search).
