Are there any api developers for craigslist.org

Question

I am creating an application and want to automatically publish to Craigslist with the click of a button. Is there any way to do this?

I have an account and will pay for each post.

Answer 1

Ultimately not. You can request listings with a search string from an RSS feed, for example:

http://YOURCITY.craigslist.org/search/sss?format=rss&query=SearchString 

As for publishing, craiglist did not open its API. However, this SO question may shed some light and a possible solution - albeit not very reliable.

Craigslist Automated Posting API?

Write a Craigslist note asking them to open their API,

Answer 2

Craigslist really has a "bulk posting interface" that allows you to run multiple messages simultaneously through POST HTTPS. Cm:

Answer 3

Craiglist is pretty mean with their data, they even go out of their way to block curettage. If you are using ruby, here is the gram that I wrote to help clear the craiglist data that you can search in several cities, calculate the average price ect ...

Answer 4

The closest I could find is called 3taps . Craigslist sued 3taps, resulting in “access to publicly available data on a public website can be selectively censored by blacklisting certain viewers (like competitors),” and thus says “3taps will therefore, access to the same data exclusively from publicly available sources that maintain open and equal access rights to publicly available data. "

Answer 5

Good news everyone! Craigslist has actually released Mass Publish API now!
