Searchcraigslist Post Scraper

The Craigslist Post Scraper is a powerful automation tool that extracts detailed post information from Craigslist listings.

Key Parameters

date_limit

Filters posts by publication date to focus on recent listings.

• Example: 1 (extracts posts published within the last 1 day)

page_limit

Controls how many pages of search results to scrape.

• Example: 3 (scrapes the first 3 pages of results)
• Use case: Collect more data by processing multiple result pages

How It Works

The workflow follows this intelligent process:

1. Visit: Opens the Craigslist search results page
2. Loop: Begins the extraction cycle for multiple pages
3. Scroll Page: Ensures all content is loaded
4. Extract Data: Collects listing information from the current page
5. Pagination: Navigates to the next page (if page_limit > 1)
6. Output Data: Returns all collected listings in structured format

Smart Error Handling

The pagination node is configured to ignore errors, which means:

• ✅ When page_limit = 1, the workflow completes successfully without attempting pagination
