Hi CrewBloom,
Thank you for contact me, it seems that they have changed something in structure of HTML on some pages. I will take a look.
Thank you for informing me about this issue.

Hi CrewBloom,
I checked log and do some debugging. It seems that in general parser is working. I fixed one minor bug. The problem here is that after some time Craigslist is detecting that it is being parsed. Have you enabled Automatic proxy
like I did on picture below?
That should help you with this issue. Also I have add some additional configuration so that it would be harder for the Craigslist to detect that we are scraping it.

Let me check what is happening with this.

Hi Paulo,
I checked the issue. Craigslist has changed structure of html. I have fixed the issue, I've tested quiet a few urls, and it seems that everything should work now.
Also, I've added additional field that could be interesting for you. On job posts I've managed to parse company name on pages where company name exists.
Thank you for informing me about this issue. Sorry for this inconvenience.

In the description of this actor is says contact details are available. Does that direct email address, or something different?

It is email address that you get when you press "Replay" button. It takes a lot of time to load this information and it is protected with captcha. So it will increase time needed to scrape page.
