Craigslist Listings Scraper

🚀 Craigslist Listings Scraper

Extract listings from Craigslist in any city or across the whole United States. The Craigslist Listings Scraper returns every matching post as structured data (title, price, posting date, category, location with coordinates and photos), with the full description and attributes when you need them.

Use it for resale and arbitrage research, local price tracking, car and housing market analysis, or a daily feed of new posts.

✨ Features

• 📋 Complete results: collects every listing that matches your search, not just the first page.
• 🇺🇸 Any city or the whole country: search one or more Craigslist sites (newyork, sfbay, chicago…) or all 400+ US areas at once.
• 🗂️ All major sections: for sale (electronics, furniture, cars & trucks, bikes, tickets, free stuff…), housing, jobs, gigs and services.
• 💲 Price and freshness filters: minimum/maximum price, posted today, and listings with photos only.
• 📝 Optional details: full description plus the listing's attributes (condition, make, odometer, transmission, bedrooms, square footage…).
• 📍 Exact location: site, neighbourhood code, latitude and longitude for every listing.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter a keyword (optional) and pick a category.
2. Choose locations: Craigslist site names such as newyork or sfbay, or turn on Search all US areas.
3. Set filters and a maximum, then run. Listings land in the dataset, and the SUMMARY record shows how many matched in each location.

💰 Pricing

⚠️ Good to know

• Craigslist shows posts until they expire (typically 30–45 days), so results cover live listings only.
• A single search returns at most 10,000 listings per location. For very large searches (e.g. all of New York for sale), narrow by keyword, category or price range; the log tells you when this happens.
• With Search all US areas, listings are collected location by location. Set Maximum listings high enough to cover the whole country.
• Seller phone numbers and emails are not shown publicly by Craigslist and are not included.
