Bots (mods) that scan and pull info from Craigslist?

[ScubaKeith]

I am starting an industry-specific forum and remember having seen an old (now defunct) forum that allegedly had a "bot" that would scan and automatically upload help wanted postings from Craigslist.

Does anyone here know of any sort of mod or bot that can be installed so that help wanted ads can be transferred automatically and not have to be entered manually?

Not familiar with one compatible with Craigslist, but my site has several RSS feeds imported from various sites & have some job listing feeds imported automatically every two hours, there are a couple good RSS feed importing modules in the module download section here, gotta warn ya tho, RSS is not as popular as it use to be and good reliable feeds are few and hard to find, but its still used heavily in wordpress sites...

I assume you should be able to use RSS:

And a RSS poster in SMF
