Scrapes Craigslist classifieds listings by city, category, search query, or URL and returns structured listing data as a dataset job.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability crowdpull-craigslist-scraper-api-2e65aee5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Craigslist in the detroit region for used motorcycles under the 'mca' category and pull up to 50 listings with full details included.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured data from Craigslist classifieds — apartments, jobs, for-sale items, gigs, services — filtered by city, category, keyword, or location. Prefer it over general web scrapers when the target is specifically Craigslist and you want a managed, rate-limited job with a result set ID for downstream retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid city slug returns no results or error
- Unsupported category slug causes the job to fail or return empty data
- maxItems exceeding 250 is rejected by schema validation
- URL not accessible on Craigslist returns an empty result set
- Job timeout if waitForFinishSeconds is too low for large result sets
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

CrowdPull turns public web pages into useful datasets for marketplaces, housing, reviews, jobs, social posts, drug prices, video, and public records.

## Output

Returns a job token and job object with an ID, status, and optional resultSetId that can be used to retrieve the scraped Craigslist listings once the job completes.
