Find recent Craigslist missed connections

Protocol

Step 1: Fetch the missed connections page

read_webpage https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/mis
Copy

This saves the HTML to the conversation workspace.

Step 2: Extract recent post URLs by ID pattern

Craigslist uses sequential post IDs. Recent posts have higher IDs:

• 7885xxxxxx = most recent day
• 7884xxxxxx = 1-2 days ago
• 7883xxxxxx = 2-3 days ago

# Extract URLs matching recent post IDs (last 3 days)
grep -o 'https://newyork.craigslist.org/[^"]*' /path/to/saved.html | grep -E '788[345]' | head -20
Copy

Step 3: Read individual posts in parallel

Use multiple read_webpage calls concurrently to fetch 5-10 interesting posts at once. This is much faster than sequential calls.

• IMPORTANT: use Read webpage , do not do alternatives like parallel curl bash commands + manual parsing.

Response

Extract the key details from each post and list each in a concise bullet. Be cheeky.
