Workflow

/filtersget available filter values

/offersget listings (with or without filters) - use for initial data load

For updates (to keep data up-to-date after initial load):

/change_id?date=...get starting ID for changes feed

/changes?change_id=...get all changes in the database starting from ID

/offerget details of a specific listing by inner_id

Getting started with integration:

1. Pull the full inventory first using /offers - iterate through all pages to build your initial dataset

2. Once imported, poll /changes regularly to capture any additions, price adjustments, or removals and maintain synchronization

3. When building your frontend, use /offers with filters (brand, model, price, year, emirate) and pagination for efficient data retrieval

GET/filters

Returns all possible values for filtering

Dubicars.com

Launched in 2012, Dubicars.com is a dedicated automotive marketplace for the UAE. Unlike general classifieds, it focuses exclusively on vehicles. The platform hosts approximately 30,000 listings across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and the northern emirates, featuring both franchise dealerships and independent sellers.

The platform emphasizes key UAE market details. Listings distinguish between GCC specs and imports, a critical factor for resale value and insurance. Data includes warranty status, ownership history, and accident verification. Many listings also feature maintenance logs from authorized service centers.

Useful for diverse applications. Dealers can track competitor pricing across emirates-noting regional variances, such as price differences between Dubai Marina and Fujairah. Insurance adjusters use data for valuations, while exporters monitor specific models. The API provides this marketplace data through structured, queryable endpoints.

The Dubicars API operates continuously, detecting new listings within minutes. Removed listings are tracked to provide insights into actual transaction prices versus asking prices. All data is delivered via REST endpoints, eliminating the need for scraping infrastructure.
