Find cars and trucks for sale from around the world. (Note: you must have python-craigslist installed for this example)
from craigslist import CraigslistForSale
from craigslist_meta import Site
for site in Site.all():
if site.has_area():
for area in site:
auto = CraigslistForSale(site=site.key, area=area.key, category='cta')
# fetch posts from auto

auto = CraigslistForSale(site=site.key, category='cta')
# fetch posts from auto
Let’s get titles and urls from areas in the San Francisco Bay Area.
from craigslist_meta import Site
sfbay = Site("sfbay")

# East Bay Area | https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/
# North Bay / Marin | https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/
