Hey guys,

Does anyone know of a Craigslist Auto Post program? Im trying to solicit my business on the services option and posting every few days manually sucks. Im trying to figure out if theirs a way i can do this automatically.

Any advice would be appreciated.


I did a google search but couldnt find anything definitive.

Personally I find it annoying when a section is clogged up with one companies ads. For my electronics repair ad on Kijiji I just delete the old ad and repost it when I hit page 2, get me new hits. That takes me all of 5 minutes tops every 3 days or so.

yes but automation would make things alot more easy!
this is the key im looking for.


im not talking about spamming the section. I just dont want to manually post the stuff every few days.

I dont think there is any auto posted. Looks like you'll have to stick to manual :)

^ It wouldn't be a built in thing, it'd have to be some kinda external program you keep running that checks your ad every so often, and then deletes the old one and reposts it. That's the only way I could see it done.

although you'd still have to get past the image verification.

They make it somewhat easy now when you can create an account. If you delete your old post from within your account, all you have to do is click on Repost for it to be re-added back in. However, you still have to do the image verification (where they show you the distored words and you have to type it in).

I doubt Craigslist has some kind of API to allow 3rd party apps to integrate for easy posting. That would just set them up for some big time spamming.
