Features
What the Facebook Marketplace Seller Scraper: Profile & Inventory Extracts
Disguised Car Dealers Posing as Private Owners
Unlicensed car flippers and commercial auto lots frequently post under personal Facebook accounts (vehicle_seller_type: "PRIVATE_SELLER") so buyers and dealership acquisition teams think they are buying a personal car from its original owner — when the seller actually has dozens of vehicles listed across their profile.
Competitor Dealer & Reseller Inventory Tracking
Starting from a single listing URL, extract up to 100 active and recently sold listings belonging to that seller, including current prices, strikethrough markdowns (original_price), mileage/subtitles, and availability status.
Seller Due Diligence, Trust & Fraud Prevention
Check account creation date (join_date_iso), 5-star seller rating (seller_rating, seller_review_count), combined buyer/seller rating (combined_rating), and personal profile URL (personal_vanity_url) before high-value transactions.
Seller Profile & Trust Signals
Seller_id & marketplace_user_profile_id — Unique seller and commerce profile identifiers
