Craigslist Scraper: Listings, Prices, Housing & Jobs

Scrape listings from Craigslist in any city and category: for sale, cars and trucks, furniture, apartments and rooms, real estate, jobs, services and gigs. Each listing comes with its title, price, location, neighborhood, GPS coordinates, images, posting date and link; housing adds bedrooms and square feet, cars the odometer, jobs the compensation, job title and company.

Craigslist stops a search at 360 results. This actor splits the search into price ranges automatically, so you can collect thousands of listings from one search.

Turn on Full listing details to also get the description, every attribute (condition, make and model, bike size, pets, laundry, parking, employment type...), street address, postal code, last update date and all images.

No login, no browser. You pay per listing delivered.

Pricing

• Listing: charged per listing from the search results.
• Listing with details: charged per listing when Full listing details is on (and for single listing URLs).

No start fee. Inputs that fail are reported as error records and are not charged.

Tips and limits

• Price splitting only reaches listings that have a price. Jobs, services, gigs and community posts have no price, so they stop at 360 per search; split them by city part (e.g. /search/brk/jjj) or keyword.
• The same listing found by two searches is saved once.
• Coordinates in search results are rounded by Craigslist; details give the exact map pin and its accuracy.
• Contact details (phone, email) are hidden by Craigslist behind a button and are not collected.
