## FAQ

### Are USD and CAD prices converted?

No. Each ad retains its local currency. The 20–1,000 price filter applies as USD in New York and CAD in Toronto and Vancouver. Each city keeps its own price ordering.

### Are descriptions, photos and public contacts included?

Yes. Full details are enabled and included in the per-ad price. Public contacts are returned when present in the ad text or links. Hidden Reply contacts are not retrieved.

### Will every city return five ads?

Five is the per-city limit. Fewer may be available after the keyword, price, image and source filters. The task delivers at most 15 unique ads.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/arjun_code/craigslist-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
