I would think than an organization like Padmapper would have the technical  
and financial wherewithal to build out their own network of scraper nodes  
apart from the tor network.

This would be almost impossible to block especially if they stood up the  
infrastructure on a large cloud providers where instances could be  
re-provisioned with new IP address in numerous cities all over the globe  
in a matter of minutes with a click of the button.

It used to be that craigslist page loads via Tor were just painfully slow,  
which could have been a rate limiting strategy to combat scrapers, now  
they just ban it all together.

I'm curious why Craigslist doesn't just sell their listing data via API  
access to companies like Padmapper, that would be a win-win.
