What can I get

• 🚗 Any make and model, 700+ Craigslist sites — cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, trailers and more
• 💵 Price, mileage & photos on every row — every photo link, GPS coordinates and posting date

Why Craigslist Cars Scraper

Most other Craigslist Actors fail you in one of four ways:

• 🗄️ Inaccurate, cached, stale data
• 🧩 Low-detail rows — a title and a price, never the full picture
• 💸 Pay more to get the same data
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Craigslist Cars Scraper reads Craigslist live on every run, is priced honestly, and is actively maintained.

Trimmed for readability. Every row is flat — each value is its own column, so CSV and Excel exports need no clean-up. This row has Scrape Full Vehicle Details on; without it you get the title, price, odometer, location and photos.

FAQ

How do I write a make and model?

The way you would type it on Craigslist: tesla model 3, honda civic, ford f-150. Each entry under Makes & Models is searched separately in every location. Leave it empty to get every vehicle that matches the filters.

Can I scrape motorcycles, boats or RVs?

Yes — pick them under Vehicle Type. Price, year, odometer and seller filters apply to all of them.

Can I scrape other Craigslist categories?

Use Craigslist Scraper — it covers for sale, housing, jobs, gigs, services, community, events and resumes.

What can I put in Locations?

A Craigslist site name — the part before .craigslist.org, such as newyork, sfbay, losangeles or chicago — a ZIP or postal code (94103), or latitude,longitude (40.7128,-74.0060). ZIP codes and coordinates search a radius you set with Radius. Craigslist has 700+ sites in 79 countries, and every one works.

How many cars can one search return?

Up to 10,000 — Craigslist's own limit per search. Split a bigger search by location, price range or keyword.

Why are some rows marked is_nearby_result?

When a location has few matches, Craigslist adds listings from neighbouring sites. Those rows carry is_nearby_result: true so you can keep or drop them.

Are duplicates billed?

No. A listing is pushed and billed once per run, even when two searches find it.

Can I get the seller's phone or email?

No. Craigslist releases contact details only through its reply button, which is protected by a captcha. has_contact_info tells you a listing has them; phone numbers typed into the description are part of description.

What does it cost?

$0.001 per row — $1 per 1,000 — and $0.003 per fully detailed row, flat on every plan, with no start fee. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 5,000 cars free every month.

Is it legal to scrape Craigslist?

The Actor collects the public listing data craigslist.org shows any visitor. Please review Craigslist's terms of use and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction, including data-protection law.
