Craigslist

The craigslist plugin connects Hyacinth to Craigslist.

Search configuration

Two fields are available for configuration when creating a new Craigslist search.

Site

The regional site to poll. This is the first part of the Craigslist domain, e.g. boston in boston.craigslist.org or sfbay in sfbay.craigslist.org.

Category

The category to poll. Must be one of the subcategories under the "For sale" section on the homepage, or sss to search everything. Housing search is currently not supported.

Category should be entered as the 3-digit code at the end of the Craigslist URL when clicking into this category. For example, clicking into motorcycles brings you to https://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/mca/, so mca is the code for this category.
