Sahibinden Data Parser & API
Sahibinden is Turkey’s dominant horizontal classifieds platform — roughly 560M total visits per month and around 25K new auto listings added per day — and Carapis can extract its full car listing data, including deep spec, damage (“hasar”) status and OtoBid auction data, through one REST API. It is the single largest marketplace in the MENA region by traffic, and Carapis can serve its data without you fighting Sahibinden’s heavy bot defenses yourself.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Sahibinden 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 Sahibinden?
Sahibinden (“from the owner”) is Turkey’s leading horizontal classifieds site, with a large automotive vertical, and operating independently — it is not part of Adevinta or OLX. Its automotive vertical is the country’s reference used-car marketplace, adding roughly 25K new auto listings per day, and it also runs OtoBid, a C2B used-car auction product, plus VR auto tours. Sahibinden drew ~560M total visits per month and ~62.8M unique users (April 2025, all categories).
Market Position
Sahibinden is by far the largest single marketplace in the MENA region by traffic — ~560M total visits/mo and ~62.8M unique users (April 2025), with ~25K new auto listings added daily. The auto vertical alone makes it the dominant Turkish used-car platform. Note that the 560M figure covers all categories, not auto only. Sahibinden remains independent (not rolled into Adevinta/OLX), so it must be parsed as its own source. Its scale is the prize; its anti-bot is the catch — defenses are hard, which is exactly why a managed Carapis feed is valuable here.
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 Sahibinden 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 deep spec fields and the damage-status indicator are what make Turkish data unusually rich, and OtoBid adds C2B auction signals on top — but Sahibinden’s strong bot defense makes it the highest-value, hardest target in the region.
