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 extracts 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 serves its data without you fighting Sahibinden’s heavy bot defenses yourself.

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.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Sahibinden auto listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, body type, engine, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage, damage / “hasar” status (Turkey’s structured tradable-damage indicator)
• Pricing — listed price; OtoBid auction data where available
• Listing context — seller type (dealer vs private), location, photo gallery

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.
