Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clicking through the seller's other ads by hand | Open the posting, follow the seller link, page through the list | Free, and slow | Fine for one seller, impractical across a market |
| Building a scraper | Write it, host it, and repair it when Craigslist changes the page | Engineering time | A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product |
| NeuralVerge | One request, starting from any of the seller's postings | $1 per 1,000, empty results not billed | Works from a posting you already have; it does not find sellers on its own |
What you get back
Every field in the response shown above.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
total_items | number | How many postings were returned in this batch. |
total_results | number | How many postings the seller has in total. |
seller_posting_id | number | Numeric ID of the posting the seller was resolved from. |
seller_area | string | Area alias the seller posts in. |
first_item | object | The first returned posting; null when there are none. |
items | array | The seller's postings. Each item has the same shape as a Craigslist postings search result. |
How to run it
The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.
posting is the only required field. max_items caps the result count (up to 500) and sets what you're billed for; category and sort narrow the list. The sample is a real response where the seller had no other postings, so items is empty.
