Craigslist Search Module for Perl with accompanying search script
Search the Craigslist website for stuff. Note that this is done via a scraper and prone to breakage if CL feels like changing things.
There is no official API unfortunately :(
Check in the bin/ directory for script called clkrawl.pl that you can copy to any bin directory in your path after installing the module.
Configure the email settings with the following Environment Variables:
Host $ENV{'EMAIL_HOST'}
Port $ENV{EMAIL_PORT}
User $ENV{'EMAIL_USER'}
Pass $ENV{'EMAIL_PASS'}
TLS support for email servers is available and enabled by default.
Call clkrawl without options for a nice help message, including the categories and cities that are built in. It's a simple matter of adding to the hashes to add more.
- Locations
- Categories
- Email Support [-e email@address.tld]
