Is it legal to scrape craigslist.org data?

It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as property prices, addresses, and listing details. However, you should be aware that results may contain personal information (agent names, contact details).

Personal data is protected by US state privacy laws (e.g. CCPA) and other regulations. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, please consult your lawyers. You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
