Craigslist Searchy

Craigslist Searchy is a Google Wave robot that monitors results of a given search on Craigslist. It simply takes the URL of the results page of a search on Craigslist, and adds each result item (with its title, date, text, and pictures) to the wave, in a separate blip. The bot includes code to update the Wave when new results are found, but it is not yet functioning due to API issues.

 BEST PRACTICE

Uses memcache to cache wepages, the app engine datastore to store internal data, the cron feature to update waves periodically and regular expressions to parse and extract data from Craigslist.
