How do craigslist mashups get data? [closed]

Answer 1

i am guessing screen scraping

i do not think there is a craigslist API yet.. and i do not think they will release one..

so the only way to go is to scrape data.. you could use cURL library and heave regex to scrape the data you want of a page

if you see a link .. access the page.. scrape the new page get the data and show it or store it

and so on..
