Would I get in trouble for making a website that cache's craigslist? - GoFuckYourself.com

If I made a website that cache's craigslist so you can see deleted and flagged posts, do you guys think CL or the privacy act will come after me? I mean google and wayback cache's them, the only difference is i am dedicating a site to it. Original creators will have the option of removing the cache. Seemed kinda sketchy..

Why would that site be useful?

Cl has it in their terms that you cannot spider their site.

However, almost all of the categories have rss feeds that you can pull in and do what you want to without breaking any rules.

httP://rantsandraves.us is one site I know of doing it with the Kansas City Rants and Raves section.

d-null · 11-26-2009, 07:13 PM

straight from their TOS... seems like they allow a fair bit as long as you have zero advertising on your site:

Quote:

... craigslist reserves all rights in the content of
the RSS feeds and may terminate any RSS feed at any time.

Use of the Service beyond the scope of authorized access granted to you by
craigslist immediately terminates said permission or license. In order to
collect, aggregate, copy, duplicate, display or make derivative use of the

purposes (including commercial purposes) not stated herein, you must first
obtain a license from craigslist.
