Scraping craigslist with phone numbers is such a pain. I’ve been using Scrapy with Zyte proxies, and it’s been working pretty well.
Zyte is a bit pricey, but their proxies are super reliable and help avoid bans. If you’re serious about scraping, it’s worth checking out.

Hey, I’ve been scraping craigslist with phone numbers for a while now, and I’ve found that using a combination of Scrapy and Smartproxy works pretty well.
Smartproxy is affordable and has a good pool of IPs, so you can scrape without getting blocked too often. Just make sure to set a reasonable delay between requests.
