πŸ“– About This Skill


name: facebook-marketplace-search description: Search Facebook Marketplace listings near a specified location with filters for radius, price range, limit, and pickup-only. This skill is a thin client for a user-provided local Marketplace service and returns normalized JSON results with local-first ranking support.

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.
