Overview

Craigslist scraper extracts listing titles, locations, dates, bedrooms, and images from search results. No API key needed.

Craigslist Search Results

Craigslist remains one of the most active classified marketplaces in the United States, with millions of listings across housing, jobs, services, vehicles, and general sale categories. The simplicity of the platform means there is no analytics dashboard, no export feature, and no public API - just raw listings that you have to browse one by one.

What it extracts

  • Position — The sequential position of the listing in the search results.
  • Image — The thumbnail image associated with the listing.
  • Title — The title of the Craigslist posting.
  • Link — Direct link to the full Craigslist posting.
  • Date — When the listing was posted.
  • Location — The area or neighborhood associated with the listing.
  • Bedrooms — The number of bedrooms listed (if provided).

What you can do with it

  • Structured listing data from any Craigslist search - titles, prices, locations, and dates captured in rows instead of manual browsing.
  • Market price monitoring: track asking prices across categories and regions to understand local market dynamics and pricing trends.
  • Inventory aggregation: pull together listings from multiple Craigslist regions into one dataset for national-level market analysis.
  • Competitive intelligence for local businesses: monitor what services and products are being offered in your area, at what prices, and by whom.
