Hey! Scraping Craigslist with phone numbers can be tricky, especially with their anti-scraping measures. I’ve used Scrapy before, and it works pretty well if you set it up right. You’ll need to handle CAPTCHAs and IP blocking though.
For phone numbers specifically, try using regex patterns in your script to extract them from the HTML. Also, check out Octoparse—it’s a no-code tool that might save you some time.
As for legality, Craigslist’s TOS prohibits scraping, so tread carefully. Maybe look into their API or contact them directly if it’s for a legit project.
