Apify Actor for scraping Craigslist marketplace listings across any city. Uses CheerioCrawler for fast, efficient HTML parsing without a browser.

Features

  • Search any Craigslist city by subdomain (newyork, sfbay, chicago, etc.)
  • Filter by category, price range, and sort order
  • Two modes: quick search results or full detail scraping
  • Extracts JSON-LD structured data when available, falls back to HTML parsing
  • Detail mode captures: price, description, images, location coordinates, item attributes, post date, and post ID

How It Works

  1. Builds search URLs for each query using the city subdomain and category
  2. Parses search results via JSON-LD ItemList schema (300+ items per page)
  3. Falls back to HTML parsing (li.cl-static-search-result) if JSON-LD is unavailable
  4. Optionally visits each listing detail page for rich data extraction
  5. Detail pages are parsed via JSON-LD Product schema with HTML fallback enrichment
