Overview

Scrape Craigslist by providing search terms, categories, or specific listing URLs. Extract prices, seller details, locations, and more to track market trends or find sales leads.

Craigslist is a massive, constantly-updated marketplace for everything from used cars and rental apartments to freelance gigs and second-hand furniture. The challenge is that this data is unstructured and spread across thousands of regional sites with no official API for analysis. This tool bridges that gap. It's designed for anyone who needs to monitor Craigslist at a local or national level. This includes automotive dealers tracking competitor inventory, real estate agents searching for 'For Sale By Owner' listings, e-commerce resellers hunting for undervalued items to flip, and market researchers analyzing pricing trends in specific categories. ### How to Target Your Data You can provide data in two main ways: by pasting direct URLs from Craigslist (for a specific listing, a category page, or a search results page) or by entering search queries and then specifying the location (e.g., 'newyork' or 'sfbay') and category (e.g., 'jjj' for jobs, 'sss' for for sale). A powerful set of filters lets you narrow down the results. You can set minimum and maximum prices, specify if you want listings from private owners or dealers, and pull only listings posted within the last 24 hours. You can also filter for listings that have photos or offer delivery, which is useful for product and vehicle research. ### What You Get The output is a structured dataset containing the listing's title, price, full description, and location details including neighborhood and sometimes specific coordinates. You also receive key metadata like the post ID, when it was posted and last updated, and links to all associated images. For certain categories like vehicles, the tool extracts specific attributes like VIN, odometer reading, vehicle condition, and transmission type.
