Changing Cities and price limit

To change cities and price, modify the url used for both Kijiji and Craigslist in the path.js file accordingly.

api.cLinks.push('http://toronto.craigslist.ca/search/apa?maxAsk=2000&bedrooms=1&query=' + cStr);
api.kLinks.push('http://www.kijiji.ca/b-1-bedroom-apartments-condos/city-of-toronto/' + kStr + '/k0c212l1700273?price=__2000');

Changing Hoods

To change the hoods, update the api.hoods array in path.js.

example:

api.hoods = [ 'lakeshore','distillery','queen east','rosedale'];
