Developer & Business API

Facebook Marketplace API Access

Facebook doesn't offer a public API for Marketplace listings. Flipify does — create an account in the API console to get programmatic access to real-time listing data.

Why Doesn't Facebook Marketplace Have an API?

Facebook (Meta) has never released a public API for Marketplace listings. Unlike the older Facebook Graph API — which allowed third-party apps to access posts, pages, and events — Marketplace has always been a closed, consumer-only product with no developer access.

Meta has shown no signs of opening Marketplace up to developers. Their business model on Marketplace is built around keeping buyers and sellers inside the Facebook app, making a public data API contrary to their interests.

This leaves developers and businesses with two bad options: build and maintain their own scraper (technically complex, fragile, and legally grey), or go without the data entirely. Flipify exists to solve this problem.

How Flipify's API Works

Flipify has built and operates its own infrastructure for monitoring Facebook Marketplace listings in real time. We use this same infrastructure to power our consumer app, and we can expose it to you through a simple REST API.

Near Real-Time Data

Listings appear in the API within minutes of being posted on Facebook Marketplace.

Location-Scoped

Query by keyword, location, and radius — the same filters our app supports.

Key-Based Auth

Authenticate with an API key. Rate limits and pricing are tailored to your use case.

Available Data Fields

  • Listing title
  • Price
  • Location / city
  • Distance from a given coordinate
  • Listing URL
  • Thumbnail image URL
  • Time posted
  • Platform (Facebook Marketplace)
