Yad2 Data Parser & API

Yad2 is Israel’s dominant horizontal classifieds platform — its automotive section alone draws an estimated 1M+ monthly visits — and Carapis extracts its full car listing data, including make, model, year, mileage, price and seller info, through one REST API. It is the reference marketplace for Israeli used-car supply and pricing, and Carapis serves its data without you fighting its strong anti-bot defenses.

What is Yad2?

Yad2 (יד2) is Israel’s leading horizontal classifieds site, with a large automotive vertical. Its car section is the country’s primary used-car marketplace, carrying both private and dealer listings, with an Israeli-specific “hand” (number of previous owners) field that buyers rely on heavily. The auto section sees an estimated 1M+ monthly visits and is widely scraped (third-party scrapers exist), reflecting strong demand for its data.

Market Position

Yad2 is the dominant car-listing platform in Israel, with a large auto inventory and an estimated 1M+ monthly auto visits — the reference source for Israeli used-car pricing. Its anti-bot defenses are strong (which is why unofficial third-party scrapers circulate), making a managed Carapis feed the reliable way to access its data. As a horizontal classifieds it is the single most important Israeli auto source, well ahead of secondary portals such as iCar.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Yad2 car listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, body type, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage, “hand” (number of previous owners) — the Israeli condition signal
• Pricing — listed price (in ILS)
• Listing context — seller type (dealer vs private), location, photo gallery

The “hand” field is the standout Israeli-specific data point, a structured proxy for ownership history that strongly influences local pricing.
