iCar (Israel) Data Parser & API
iCar (icar.co.il) is a secondary Israeli auto portal carrying dealer and new-car listings — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including make, model, year, mileage, price and dealer info, through one REST API. It complements the dominant Yad2 with a more dealer- and new-car-focused inventory, and Carapis serves its data without you maintaining a scraper.

What is iCar (Israel)?
iCar (icar.co.il) is an Israeli automotive portal focused on dealer and new-car listings, sitting behind Yad2 in the market. It offers structured used- and new-car inventory with the Israeli-specific “hand” (previous-owners) field, and is a useful secondary data source for cross-referencing pricing and supply against Yad2.
Market Position
iCar is a secondary auto portal in Israel (moderate traffic, thousands of listings), well behind the dominant horizontal Yad2 but valuable as a dealer- and new-car-leaning complement. Using both gives a fuller picture of the Israeli market — Yad2 for breadth and private supply, iCar for additional dealer and new-car coverage. It is a lower-priority but clean structured source.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each iCar listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, body type, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage, “hand” (number of previous owners)
- Pricing — listed price (in ILS)
- Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery
Like Yad2, iCar carries the Israeli “hand” field, useful for ownership-history-aware pricing, with a more dealer-focused inventory mix.
