Marketplace Scraper
Setup email alerts for new items on Facebook Marketplace. Expensive to run due to the proxies required.

Test with free trial credits. For production upgrade to the 'Startup' Plan at $100/month for ~35 search terms scraped every 15 minutes. For a cheaper alternative, maintain your own proxies.
