Craigslist Scraper: Listings from Any Craigslist City

Craigslist Scraper extracts listings from Craigslist, the world's best-known classifieds site, in any of 700+ cities across the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. Search for sale (all), cars & trucks, motorcycles, furniture, electronics, bicycles, tools, apartments and housing for rent, real estate for sale, rooms & shares, jobs, services, gigs and free stuff by keyword, price range, ZIP code radius and photos-only, and get for every post the title, link, price, currency, category, area, sub-area, neighborhood, region, country, coordinates, photos and posted date. Large searches are automatically split to go beyond Craigslist's per-search result limit. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON. Ideal for resellers and flippers, car dealers, landlords and rental research, price monitoring, deal alerts and local market research.
