# Marketplace Cookies Setup

Both Facebook Marketplace and eBay require valid session cookies to bypass bot detection and access listings.

## Cookie Configuration

Authenticated scrapers now read cookies only from environment variables:
1. `FACEBOOK_COOKIE`
2. `EBAY_COOKIE`

---

## Facebook Marketplace

### Required Cookies
- `c_user`: Your Facebook user ID
- `xs`: Facebook session token
- `fr`: Facebook request token
- `datr`: Data attribution token
- `sb`: Session browser token

### Setup

```bash
export FACEBOOK_COOKIE='c_user=123; xs=token; fr=request'
```

Use the raw `Cookie` header string copied from an authenticated browser session.

---

## eBay

eBay has aggressive bot detection that blocks requests without valid session cookies.

### Setup

```bash
export EBAY_COOKIE='s=VALUE; ds2=VALUE; ebay=VALUE'
```

Use the raw `Cookie` header string copied from an authenticated browser session.

## Important Notes

- Cookies must be from active browser sessions
- Cookies expire and need periodic refresh
- **NEVER** commit real cookies to version control
- Platforms may still block automated scraping despite valid cookies

## Security

Do not commit real cookie values or store them in tracked files.
