What is the OpenSooq Scraper?

The OpenSooq Scraper is a data-extraction tool for OpenSooq.com, the classifieds platform used across the Arab world for cars, real estate, electronics, jobs, and services. OpenSooq has no public data API, so this actor acts as an OpenSooq API alternative: pass a country, a keyword, and a few filters — or paste a search URL straight from the site — and it returns every matching listing as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

It reads the same structured data the OpenSooq website itself renders, so results are complete and consistent: price, currency, city, neighborhood, category, image, listing specs, seller identity, and the phoneRevealKey used to request a seller's full phone number.

What can the OpenSooq Scraper do?

• 🌍 Scrape 15 OpenSooq country sites — Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon.
• 🔎 Search by free-text keyword, guided vertical (cars for sale, apartments for sale, apartments for rent), or category ID for general search.
• 📍 Filter by city and neighborhood ID, price range, car model year and mileage, apartment bedrooms and surface area.
• 🔗 Paste exact OpenSooq search URLs as start URLs to preserve every filter the site supports.
• 🏪 Restrict to business shop listings, listings with images, or listings with a disclosed price.
• 📞 Get seller info and the phone reveal key for every listing.
• ⏱️ Run on a schedule, call it by API, and connect it to Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, or Slack.
• 📤 Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML.

How to scrape OpenSooq

1. Open the OpenSooq Scraper and go to the Input tab.
2. Choose a Country site (for example jo for Jordan or sa for Saudi Arabia).
3. Either:
   • enter a Search query and pick a Vertical, or
   • paste one or more OpenSooq search URLs into Start URLs (recommended when you need advanced filters — build the search on the site, copy the URL).
4. Add optional filters — city ID, price range, car year, bedrooms, surface area, sort order.
5. Set Maximum number of items (this is the number of billed rows).
6. Keep proxy on Residential for clean regional access.
7. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab.

Finding city and neighborhood IDs

Run a search on the OpenSooq website and filter by a city. The city ID appears in the resulting URL (...?search=true&city_ids=59). Neighborhood IDs appear the same way as nhood_ids.

How much does it cost to scrape OpenSooq?

Use cases

How it works

1. The actor builds an OpenSooq search URL for the chosen country site from your keyword, vertical, category, and filters — or uses your start URLs directly.
2. It requests each search-results page and reads the structured listing data OpenSooq embeds in the page.
3. It paginates until it reaches maxItems or the last page of results.
4. It applies the hasPrice, hasImages, and isShop filters, de-duplicates by listing ID, and pushes rows to the dataset.
5. You are charged one event per listing saved.

Pricing

Event	Price per event	Price per 1,000
listing-scraped	$0.00079	$0.79 (Free tier)

One event is charged for every listing written to the dataset. Bronze/Silver/Gold plans pay $0.69 / $0.59 / $0.49 per 1,000.

FAQ

Which OpenSooq countries are supported? All 15 OpenSooq country sites: Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Lebanon. Pick one per run with the site input.

Can I get the seller's full phone number? The actor returns the masked number (phoneNumber) and the phoneRevealKey. OpenSooq requires an on-platform request to reveal the last digits, so the full number is not extracted automatically.

How do I filter by an exact search I built on the site? Copy the URL from your browser after applying filters on OpenSooq and paste it into Start URLs. Start URLs preserve every filter, including ones not exposed as inputs (make, model, condition, fuel type, furnished, floor, and more).

Why is price sometimes null? Some sellers post without a price. Enable Only listings with a price (hasPrice) to skip them.

Titles are in Arabic — can I get English? Listings are returned exactly as the seller posted them, which on OpenSooq is usually Arabic. City, neighborhood, and category names are returned in English.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify scheduling to run the scraper on any interval, and connect the output to integrations like Google Sheets, Make, or Slack.
