Pycras

Python scraper for Craigslist.

To start, update the file config.conf with your locations and categories.

Example of configuration file:

	locations = ["losangeles", "newyork"]
	categories = ["eng", "sof", "sad", "tch", "web"]

Now start the main python script simple using:

	python scraper.py

The output is a very simple html file with the posts found. The name of the file is the timestamp of the time when you ran the program.

You need BeautifulSoup and python3.
