✨ Why this Craigslist Email Scraper?

• 📈 No more empty results – many scrapers return only a handful of emails. This one is built to deliver volume, even in niches where emails are rare
• 🔎 Reads the full ad – search results cut the ad text before the email: the actor opens the ad to read it entirely
• 🕵️ Finds hidden emails – Craigslist advertisers often write name at gmail dot com or name [at] yahoo [dot] com to avoid spam: the actor decodes them
• 🌐 Double coverage – searches Craigslist ads and businesses' own websites and pages that mention Craigslist
• 🎯 Unique emails only – every email appears once, no duplicates (Craigslist relay addresses are ignored)
• ⚡ Fast – hundreds of emails in a few minutes, no Craigslist account needed
• 🧹 Clean data – placeholders and fake addresses are filtered out
• 🛑 Stops exactly at your target – and stops automatically when no more emails are available, so you never waste time or money
• 📤 Export anywhere – JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, API, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Craigslist emails? This actor only collects emails that advertisers have published publicly in their ads and websites – mostly businesses and service providers advertising their services. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with privacy and anti-spam laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CCPA…): have a legitimate business reason, personalise your messages and always include an unsubscribe option.

Why did I get fewer emails than requested? Many Craigslist ads use the anonymous Craigslist relay instead of a real email, and ads expire after a few weeks. The actor searches Craigslist and the wider web, decodes hidden emails, then stops automatically when no more can be found. To get more, add more keywords (services, cities) and more email domains.

Do I need a Craigslist account or API key? No. Just enter your keywords and run the actor.

Can I schedule it? Yes – Craigslist ads change every day. Use Apify Schedules to collect new emails daily or weekly and send them automatically to Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook.

💰 Pricing

Simple pay-per-result model: you only pay for the emails you collect.
