ContactCars Data Parser & API
ContactCars is Egypt’s leading new- and used-car marketplace and dealer network, paired with auto-finance services — and Carapis can extract its full listing data, including make, model, year, mileage, price, specs and dealer info, through one REST API. It combines dealer inventory with new-car spec content, and Carapis can serve its data without you maintaining a scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl ContactCars right now. Activation takes 2–3 weeks of engineering and is quoted per source, because each one ships with dedicated proxies, anti-bot tuning and ongoing maintenance. Ask us to add it.

What is ContactCars?
ContactCars is a long-established Egyptian automotive marketplace covering both new and used cars, with a dealer network and integrated auto services (including financing via Contact Financial). It offers structured new-car spec databases alongside used-car listings, giving it both transactional and reference data. Estimated traffic is ~1-2M monthly visits.
Market Position
ContactCars is a leading new+used auto marketplace in Egypt (~1-2M monthly visits, est.; thousands of listings), differentiated by its dealer network and integrated auto-finance offering. Alongside Dubizzle Egypt and Hatla2ee, it is one of the three core Egyptian auto sources Carapis covers — ContactCars adds dealer-network and new-car spec depth where the classifieds add private-seller breadth.
What the API returns
Response schema
Indicative — this is the shape, not a guarantee. Every source returns the same structure, so what you build against does not change when you add one. Which fields carry a value depends on the source and on the individual listing: a site that does not publish mileage returns null there, and ContactCars is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:

}Which sources you can actually query is answered by GET /apix/api/sources/ with your API key — it is the list your account can pull today, and it is the one to trust over any page on this site.
The combination of dealer inventory and structured new-car specs makes ContactCars useful for both pricing and specification reference in the Egyptian market.
