jaxed and craigslist

[Seth Vidal]

Hi folks,
I don''t know if I was the only one here who used bike.jaxed.com to
look for rivs (and other bikes) available on craigslist. But I used it
quite a bit and when the craigslist links were removed due to a C&D
from craigslist I was a bit sad.

So I wrote a craigslist crawler for my own personal use that takes a
simple config file and searches for whatever I want over whatever set
of cities from craigslist then parses out the results (and pictures)
and makes a nice page of the 100 most recent ads from craigslist.

It's not entirely trivial to use - you need the programming language
python and at least one non-default module (BeautifulSoup)

If you're comfortable with python and with command line programs in
general and would like to take a look at it email me off-list.

Yeah, that crimped my online buying style... I was able to get some pretty cool bikes via Jaxed... :-(

"Cool"....says the man with addictions, but... "please don't pass the
bottle to me".

I found a '94 XO-3 through JaXed..a very hard to find model which I was looking for to replace one that was stolen many years ago. No JaXed, no Bstone. It sucks that Craigslist freaked out.

Here is a search engine that I use now that there is no JaXed
http://www.crazedlist.org/

Yeah that's good one.

I use crazedlist to create a list of RSS feeds that I then import into a reader.   

Works a bit better than inside a webpage, and doesn't break b/c it just recreates CL's regular RSS for you.

This works ok:  http://www.searchtempest.com/

Nothing is as good as Jaxed, especially as they had the pictures which let me screen quickly through all the junk postings.
