Craigslist Script

[Tish 0]

I am 2 days new to uBot so any help will be appreciated. I have watched all of the videos, read wikis, blah, blah, but i still cant figure this part out.  It may not be possible, so rather than spin my wheels, I thought Id ask you more knowledgeable souls.  So here it goes.

 

Missing how to collect default emails from CL ads.  Here is the section in question...

 

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/search/rea?query=rent+to+own&srchType=T 

 

I need coding solution to the problem below: 

 

1. Collect emails from main rent to own page above
 

--or--

 

2. Collect them one at a time moving through each ad in the section rent to own

 

Thank you in advance for any of your help and course your time...

Tish,

You may want to write all your own code; but if you want done for you source code that you can learn from, check out Nick's Craigslist Scraper Source Code here:

I have learned a lot from Nick.

Thank you so much.  I will write my own for sure, I am trying to stay focused on one and this one area is frustrating me.  Thank you for the useful link.  I will check it out.

Thank you for this.  I actually had the reply button for the click element, and needed the email variable.  I will try that.  Thank you.

By the way is there a particular scrape element that you used?  Thank you.

sure thing, used innerhtml from <class="anonemail">, but a few others will probably work as well

Still a little stuck, as I am trying to work through most of this myself with your help.  See attached screen shot.

 

How do i get uBot to capture the emails of all of those in the "rent to own" category.  On this search it offers 100 "rent to own".  Is there a way to capture emails from this page, and drop into excel spread sheet?

 

If not how do I get it to scrape each one from this page?

 

Again, thank you so much...

Right on, you'll need to scrape the URL's off the listing pages you captured above (visit the rent to own category page) and then put them in a list, then loop that list and visit each page then run that code that pulls the email off. 

 

You'll need to build a little error correction in of course, like if a listing doesn't have an email etc.

 

If you only need the emails, save them to a list, or if you need the url and email (probably) then save them to a table and then save the table to a file.
