Facebook Marketplace Search

Search nearby Facebook Marketplace listings via a user-provided local Marketplace service.

Design goal

This published skill is intentionally a thin wrapper client.

It does not ship with:

  • embedded Facebook scraping logic
  • vendored Marketplace scraper code
  • built-in background services
  • LaunchAgent installers

That design keeps the published package smaller, easier to review, and less sensitive from a security-scanning perspective.

What this skill does

  • sends a search request to a local Marketplace-compatible service
  • supports:
    • query
    • location
    • radius_km
    • min_price
    • max_price
    • limit
    • pickup_only
    • sort
  • returns normalized JSON with:
    • id
    • title
    • price
    • location
    • seller_name
    • image_url
    • listing_url

Expected local service

By default this client calls:

  • http://127.0.0.1:8787/search

Override with:

  • MARKETPLACE_API_BASE_URL

The local service is expected to accept query parameters such as:

  • query
  • location
  • radius_km
  • min_price
  • max_price
  • limit
  • pickup_only
  • sort

Setup

Install deps:

python3 -m pip install -r skills/facebook-marketplace-search/requirements.txt

Optionally copy config:

cp skills/facebook-marketplace-search/config.example.json \
   skills/facebook-marketplace-search/config.json

Usage

python3 skills/facebook-marketplace-search/scripts/facebook_marketplace_search.py \
  --query "burrow sofa" \
  --location "Livingston, NJ" \
  --radius-km 48 \
  --limit 10 \
  --sort local_first

Output shape

{
  "query": "burrow sofa",
  "location": "Livingston, NJ",
  "count": 2,
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "123",
      "title": "Burrow Sofa",
      "price": 400.0,
      "location": "Livingston, NJ",
      "seller_name": "Jane Doe",
      "image_url": "https://...",
      "listing_url": "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/123"
    }
  ]
}

Notes

  • This skill is a client wrapper, not a bundled scraper.
  • It is meant to integrate with a local service you control.
  • Some upstream services may not always provide seller names or exact pickup semantics.
  • Sorting behavior depends on the local service implementation.
