Description

Need data extracted from craigslist.com ad postings. Need the posting email address, ad date and ad description, ad picture if available. I also need the data to be inserted in a MySQL database using PHP.

I had this job completed before, however Craigslist changed their structure and the software currtly does not work properly for some categories. Attached is the old software. I need it to function the same with these new additional features.

1. Craigslist.com Postings
I need data crawled / extracted from all major cities and international countries.

2. Need to be able to search by state or by city grouped by state.

3. If an image is in the description. I need the url of that image link extracted.

4. A date search would be nice to have, but not required.

------------
Old working version attached.

I need someone who has either done this before or has a current solution. Also Craigslist dones change their site structure from time to time, so I need the developer to be available to make changes at a good rate for me.

Hi! I`ve made simillar project - now it`s very fast script and doesn`t highloads server. Also my method doesn`t depends on site structure. It build on PHP5+MySQL throw using Code Igniter Framework. But there a one minus - if you want for parsing of many sites - it will get big count of network traffic. Also I need some details: which e-mails do you want to store? Internal in system or external?
