craigslist-scraper's Introduction

cl-scraper

Another Node.js web scraper with x-ray.

Usage

Automated

./for_sale2.sh to scrape all countries' for sale sections. ./personals.sh to scrape all countries' personals sections.

Manual

cd into root directory and run ╰─➤ node for_sale/scraper.js for now... (or jobs/scraper.js, or services/scraper.js etc.). ** Note: don't cd into category folder and run node scraper.js **

Will have to set up automation or at least some sort of persistence, with entry point app.js, at some point... 😩

TO-DO

  • Probably a smarter idea to scrape by search/jjj?employment_type=, and then get the category from either the page itself, or extracting from the URL to the details page. That way, we can get a whole extra dimension to the data -- employment type!
