Hi,

I just watched your video on scraping Craigslist. Can you show me a video where it also scrapes images found in the listing? Does it only scrape the url of the image or can it download the image file itself?

Here is the Craigslist file:

Thanks for that explanation. I also didn't think to look in the project options menu where the download folder is defined.

This scraper is pretty slick so far!
