Craigslist Scraper — Listings, Prices & Photos (No API Key)

Search Craigslist for-sale classifieds in any city and export one clean row per listing: title, price, location, and listing URL — plus, optionally, the full description, posting date, seller attributes (condition, make, size) and photo URLs from each listing page.

No API key, no login. Craigslist serves a no-JavaScript static result list, which is what this actor reads — so no browser is needed and it stays on public data.

A practical alternative to Facebook Marketplace for local-classifieds data.

What you can do with it

• ♻️ Reseller sourcing — find underpriced items across several cities at once.
• 💵 Local price research — see what a category actually sells for in each market.
• 📉 Inventory & deal monitoring — re-run on a schedule and diff the results.
• 🚗 Dealer / seller lead-gen — surface high-volume sellers in a category.

Honest notes

• maxItems is split across every city × term pair, so 100 items over 2 cities and 1 term is ~50 per city. That keeps one busy city from consuming the whole run.
• attributes is null when a listing has no attribute block — many sellers don't fill it in. It is left null rather than padded with placeholders.
• price is null for listings posted without one (common on free/wanted ads).
• Descriptions have Craigslist's QR Code Link to This Post boilerplate stripped.
• includeDetails costs one extra request per listing, so runs take noticeably longer.
• Requests are paced and retried automatically. For large runs, enable Apify Proxy.
