It is totally new experience with Craigslist.com

I think it’s pretty cool. Basically the program give you the ability to search multiple cities across craigslist, plus it give you picture preveiws of each post on the search results.

The program is called Craigslist Multi City Search or CLSearch in short from a new site called Craigslist Companion.

You can visit their website at http://www.craigslistcompanion.com/

PS -I would love to see that code as well.

Yes, for sure.

I emailed craigslist to see if developing this app out further would be acceptable per their Terms Of Use however did not receive a response. That being the case I kind of bailed on the project. I was just thinking about picking it back up though and changing out the craigslist RSS calls with some other usable job related RSS feeds. That kind of nukes my craigslist idea though at the same time. I wanted to use this app for searching everything on craigslist by multiple cities, like the “for sale” section etc.

I am not sure on the legalities of releasing the source for this with the craigslist RSS feed addresses in the code. I might have to remove those before releasing the source (and that kinda kills the whole point).

I’ll email craigslist again and see if I can get any kind of response. Even a “HELL NO” would be ok at this point just so I can either bury this project of keep moving on it.

Thanks much for the interest. I am sure there is probably not a huge problem with me sharing the code with a few developers as a learning example so perhaps I can just send you the source. Let me try contacting the craigslist peeps again and see what’s up.

Take care,

Sean
