Craigslist Listings Search API

Listings from any Craigslist city site by category and keyword (bikes in austin, cars and trucks in sfbay, apartments in london): title, price, currency, neighbourhood, area, posted date, coordinates, listing URL, images and the attributes Craigslist shows in results (bedrooms and square feet for housing, odometer for vehicles), with price range, picture, posted-today and title-only filters, newest, relevance or price order, up to 360 listings per query (the first batch Craigslist's own search page loads). Read from the public search the signed-out site uses; poster contact details are never collected and phone numbers or e-mail addresses typed into titles are removed. Billed per listing returned; blocked or failed requests are free.
