Facebook Marketplace search API

Q: Which errors can it return?

invalid_params (do not retry), not_found (do not retry). Account and platform errors from the errors list can also happen. A failure always costs 0 credits.

Q: How do I get more than one page?

Send the same request with cursor set to the cursor you received, until has_more is false . Each page costs its own price. See pagination .

Q: Is there an SDK call for it?

The preview Python client has client.facebook.marketplace_search(...) and the TypeScript client client.facebook.marketplaceSearch() . Both return the same envelope as the HTTP API. The packages are not published yet; plain HTTP works today in any language.

Search Marketplace by keyword, or browse a category without a keyword.
