Craigslist Scraper
Craigslist
Scraper is
a scraping tool that overcomes advanced anti-bot systems and helps you
gather public data from Craigslist on any scale you need. This guide
will show you how to scrape Craigslist using Oxylabs’ Scraper
API.
How it works
You can get Craigslist data by sending a request to our API with the
URLs you want to access and scrape. The API will return the HTML of any
public Craigslist page.
Python code example
The below code sample sends a request to our service, which uses a
headless browser to execute JavaScript and sends back the HTML of a
Craigslist page:
import requests
from pprint import pprint
payload = {
'source': 'universal',
'url': 'https://berlin.craigslist.org/search/ela#search=1~gallery~0~0',
'geo_location': 'Germany',
'render': 'html'
}
response = requests.request(
'POST',
'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),
json=payload
)
pprint(response.json())
Visit the
documentation
to find more payload parameters and other details.
