⚠️ Important: "Your request has been blocked"

If you click a listing URL and see "Your request has been blocked" — this is normal and expected behavior from Craigslist. Here is why:

Craigslist blocks individual listing pages when accessed from non-US IP addresses and cloud/data center servers. This is Craigslist's own geo-restriction policy — it is not a bug in this actor.

The listing URLs in the output are 100% correct and working. They will open normally when:

• ✅ Opened from a US-based computer or browser
• ✅ Accessed through a US VPN or residential proxy
• ✅ Used by end-users located in the United States

What this actor scrapes is from the Craigslist search results page only — which is always accessible. All listing details (title, price, location, date, images) shown on the search page are extracted reliably.
