craigslistparser v1.1.0

Unlike other npm craigslist parsers, this parser returns the body text for all craigslist listings in a given city and craigslist category (not just title and summary of each listing)

Use the getPostings function to return the listings for a given city and category. It takes a city name as its first argument and craigslist category as its second.

The function returns a promise containing the listings for that category.

The listings include each listings title, price, latitude and longitude (if they exist on the listing), and text body. Formatted as below:

{ link: 'http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/bks/5790115280.html', title: 'The Good Cook Time Life Hardcovers', price: '$20', lat: undefined, lon: undefined, text: '\nThe Good Cook Time Life Hardcovers\n\n21 books + 1 pamphlet\nincludes the following titles:\nBreads, Lamb, Salads, Pasta, Beef and Veal, Pork, Fish, Poultry, Dried Beans & Grains, Eggs and Cheese, Soups, Vegetables, Preserving, Cakes, Summer Flavors (pamphlet),\nincluded but not pictured - Classic Desserts, Candy, Terrines, Pates &Galantines, Snacks and Sandwiches, Pies and Pastries, Shellfish, Wine\n\nall in excellent condition\n\n$20 / lot\n ' } ]

Example function usage:

//Enter city and category to generate promise var promise = module.exports.getLinks('boston','bka') //Use the promises then function to something with the data promise.then(function(data){ console.log(data); })
