OpenSooq Data Parser & API
OpenSooq is the mobile-first classifieds leader across roughly 20 MENA markets — drawing about 800M visits per year region-wide — and Carapis extracts its full car listing data, including make, model, year, mileage, price and seller info, through one REST API. A single integration unlocks the auto markets of Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Oman, Bahrain and more, and Carapis serves its data without you maintaining a scraper.
Available now. OpenSooq is in the live feed — pull it from /apix/api/vehicles/ with your API key.

What is OpenSooq?
OpenSooq is the dominant mobile-first horizontal classifieds platform across the Levant and Gulf, operating in around 20 MENA markets, with autos as a top vertical. It carries a very large volume of private and dealer car listings and draws roughly 800M visits per year with about 2B monthly pageviews region-wide. Its breadth — many smaller national auto markets under one brand — is its defining feature.
Market Position
OpenSooq is the mobile-first classifieds leader across ~20 MENA markets, with ~800M visits/yr region-wide. Its strength is breadth: a single Carapis source covers the auto markets of Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Oman, Bahrain and more at once — many smaller national markets that would otherwise each need a separate parser. Its per-listing structure is shallower than a dedicated auto portal’s (mobile-first, C2C-heavy), so the value is geographic coverage rather than field depth.
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 OpenSooq 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.
As a mobile-first C2C classifieds, OpenSooq’s per-listing fields are broad but shallower than a dedicated portal’s — its strength is cross-country coverage rather than per-listing depth.
