# Craigslist Scraper
[](https://oxylabs.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=7&aff_id=877&url_id=112)
[<u>Craigslist
Scraper</u>](https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api/web/craigslist) is
a scraping tool that overcomes advanced anti-bot systems and helps you
gather public data from Craigslist on any scale you need. This guide
will show you how to scrape Craigslist using Oxylabs’ [<u>Scraper
API</u>](https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api).
## How it works
You can get Craigslist data by sending a request to our API with the
URLs you want to access and scrape. The API will return the HTML of any
public Craigslist page.
### Python code example
The below code sample sends a request to our service, which uses a
headless browser to execute JavaScript and sends back the HTML of a
Craigslist page:
```python
import requests
from pprint import pprint
# Structure payload.
payload = {
'source': 'universal',
'url': 'https://berlin.craigslist.org/search/ela#search=1~gallery~0~0',
'geo_location': 'Germany',
'render': 'html'
}
# Get a response.
response = requests.request(
'POST',
'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'), #Your credentials go here
json=payload
)
# Instead of response with job status and results URL, this will return the
# JSON response with results.
pprint(response.json())
```
Visit the
[<u>documentation</u>](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/all-domains)
to find more payload parameters and other details.
