Stay away from doing this. I built a small business doing real-time alerts on CL and eventually got a C&D letter from their lawyers. I gave up.
I got around IP restrictions by essential having SETI like software running on my client's computers.
They will threaten you saying you're committing a felony by violating the CFAA. They are insane, but have deep pockets.
After I shut down, others stood up against CL's ridiculous claims and lost. Search for 3taps.com and padmapper.com to learn more.
- kinkdr 10y agoWow! Thanks for the info. So sad that they lost. How is this not illegally thwarting of competition? I wonder how can they claim that what you did was illegal or against their TOS, but what search engines are doing is not. I guess I am lucky I didn't spend too much time on this. Thanks again!
