This python script was created to automate the process of posting craigslist ads while emulating a real user via the Selenium browser engine. It has the ability to spin content in the post title and post body to allow for completely dynamic ads.
In this script's current state, you WILL have to modify the selections in the script for proper navigation to your posting area. This will be fixed in future versions.
Usage of this script is incredibly simple.
python /path/to/craigslist-poster/__main__.py "LoginEmail" "LoginPassword" "Contact Phone Number" "ContactName" "Post Title (Spin allowed)" "Zip Code" "/path/to/content.txt" int(TimeDelay)
Example:
python /craigslist-poster/__main__.py "example@demo.com" "password" "123-456-7890" "Mike" "This is an {example|test} {post|ad}" "12345" "/craigslist-poster/content.txt" 3
