## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Craigslist Scraper

Apify Actor for scraping Craigslist marketplace listings across any city. Uses CheerioCrawler for fast, efficient HTML parsing without a browser.

### Features

- Search any Craigslist city by subdomain (newyork, sfbay, chicago, etc.)
- Filter by category, price range, and sort order
- Two modes: quick search results or full detail scraping
- Extracts JSON-LD structured data when available, falls back to HTML parsing
- Detail mode captures: price, description, images, location coordinates, item attributes, post date, and post ID

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | `["bicycle"]` | Search terms to scrape |
| `city` | string | `"newyork"` | Craigslist city subdomain |
| `category` | string | `"sss"` | Category code (`sss`=all, `cta`=cars, `ela`=electronics, etc.) |
| `maxListings` | integer | `100` | Max listings per query (0=unlimited) |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | `false` | Visit each listing for full details |
| `minPrice` | integer | - | Minimum price filter |
| `maxPrice` | integer | - | Maximum price filter |
| `sortBy` | string | `""` | Sort: `newest`, `price_asc`, `price_desc`, `relevant` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | `{}` | Proxy settings (optional for Craigslist) |

#### Example Input

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["bicycle", "laptop"],
    "city": "sfbay",
    "category": "sss",
    "maxListings": 50,
    "scrapeDetails": true,
    "minPrice": 50,
    "maxPrice": 500
}
```

### Output

#### Search-only mode (`scrapeDetails: false`)

```json
{
    "title": "Trek Mountain Bike",
    "url": "https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/d/trek-mountain-bike/123456.html",
    "imageUrl": "https://images.craigslist.org/...",
    "position": 1,
    "city": "sfbay",
    "searchQuery": "bicycle",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-03-17T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

#### Detail mode (`scrapeDetails: true`)

```json
{
    "title": "Trek Mountain Bike",
    "url": "https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/d/trek-mountain-bike/123456.html",
    "price": 280,
    "currency": "USD",
    "description": "Great condition Trek mountain bike, 21 speed...",
    "images": ["https://images.craigslist.org/..."],
    "imageCount": 5,
    "condition": "excellent",
    "make": "Trek",
    "model": "Marlin 5",
    "attributes": {
        "condition": "excellent",
        "make": "Trek",
        "model": "Marlin 5"
    },
    "addressLocality": "San Jose",
    "addressRegion": "CA",
    "latitude": 37.3382,
    "longitude": -121.8863,
    "postedDate": "2026-03-15T10:30:00-0700",
    "postId": "7654321",
    "searchQuery": "bicycle",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-03-17T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Common City Subdomains

| City | Subdomain |
|------|-----------|
| New York | `newyork` |
| San Francisco Bay Area | `sfbay` |
| Los Angeles | `losangeles` |
| Chicago | `chicago` |
| Seattle | `seattle` |
| Boston | `boston` |
| Austin | `austin` |
| Denver | `denver` |
| Portland | `portland` |
| Miami | `miami` |
| Atlanta | `atlanta` |
| Dallas | `dallas` |
| Philadelphia | `philadelphia` |
| Washington DC | `washingtondc` |

### How It Works

1. Builds search URLs for each query using the city subdomain and category
2. Parses search results via JSON-LD `ItemList` schema (300+ items per page)
3. Falls back to HTML parsing (`li.cl-static-search-result`) if JSON-LD is unavailable
4. Optionally visits each listing detail page for rich data extraction
5. Detail pages are parsed via JSON-LD `Product` schema with HTML fallback enrichment

### Quick Start

```bash
apify run --purge
```

### Deploy to Apify

```bash
apify login
apify push
```

## MCP server setup

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
