Dubizzle (OLX) product data API

ShopAPIS returns structured Dubizzle classifieds data — listing title, free-text description, asking price in AED and SAR, condition, location, seller type and image set — as clean JSON across cars, property, goods and jobs. Dubizzle (part of the OLX family) is the UAE’s leading C2C classifieds platform with an estimated ~6.8M monthly visits in the Emirates (Similarweb, OpenSooq vs Dubizzle ). Its dominance in vehicles, real estate and used goods makes it a key source of Gulf second-hand price signals alongside pan-Arab OpenSooq.

Classifieds data differs from marketplace retail: each listing is individual, free-text and seller-priced, so the value is in turning noisy human-written posts into structured, comparable records.

Why Dubizzle data is hard to get

Dubizzle is C2C classifieds, so every listing is unique, free-text and seller-set — there is no SKU, no canonical price, and listings render dynamically behind bot defense. Dubizzle exposes no public API for listing data at scale. The hard part is extracting the asking price, condition, location and seller type (private versus dealer) from free text in English and Arabic, and de-duplicating reposted ads. ShopAPIS normalizes each listing into structured fields — parsing price, condition, location and category from the description — so unstructured Gulf classifieds become usable price signals.

Data fields returned

• Listing — listing ID, title, free-text description, category path
• Pricing — asking price, currency (AED / SAR), negotiable flag
• Condition — new / used / refurbished as parsed from the listing
• Location — emirate/city, area, geo where present
• Seller — seller type (private / dealer / agency), seller name, member-since
• Attributes — vertical-specific fields (mileage, bedrooms, brand) parsed from text
• Media — image set
• Status — active / sold / expired

Markets and domains covered

Dubizzle operates dubai.dubizzle.com and city subdomains across the UAE (AED) and a Saudi presence (SAR), in English and Arabic. ShopAPIS resolves listings by URL or by market + listing ID and returns the asking price in local currency with parsed condition, location and seller type. The same classifieds schema covers cars, property, goods and jobs.
