Export to Bazaraki for real-estate and auto

What is Bazaraki and why is it #1 in Cyprus

Bazaraki.com - Cyprus' largest classifieds portal founded in 2010. As of January 2026 - 1.5M+ active listings, 5M+ visits/month, dominates all niches: property (40% traffic), cars (25%), jobs (10%), services (8%), goods (10%), animals (5%), real-estate (10%). OLX/Avito equivalent for Cyprus. Mobile-first platform: 70%+ traffic from iOS/Android apps. Essential channel for businesses in Cyprus, especially for real-estate and car dealers.

The main limitation: no public REST API

In contrast to modern marketplaces (Bazaar Voice, Avito API, Etsy API), Bazaraki does not provide a public REST API for developers. Integration is only possible via:

• Partner Program (XML/JSON feed-export) — for real-estate agencies and car dealers with high volumes
• Bulk Excel uploader — for accounts with premium subscription
• Manual posting — via website or mobile app, for small sellers
• Web scraping — against ToS, do not make

This means that technically integration = generating a feed on your site side + Bazaraki periodically fetches the feed and publishes listings from your partner account.

Bazaraki Partner Program

To get feed access, you need to connect to the Partner Program:

• Real Estate Partners — for real estate agencies with at least 50+ properties
• Auto Partners — for car dealers with at least 30+ cars
• Service Partners — for large service providers
• For integration - individual agreement with Bazaraki, may be paid (€200-500/month fixed) or revshare model.
• You get partner_id, feed format specification, test account
• Aligning URL feed endpoint (your site's)
• Bazaraki periodically (2-4 times a day) pulls the feed and updates listings.

Feed format: XML or JSON

Bazaraki accepts feeds in XML or JSON format. Standard example for real-estate:

• id — unique listing identifier on your side
• category_id — Category ID Bazaraki (needs mapping)
• title — Title (max 60 characters)
• description A leading web development agency based in Limassol, Cyprus, serving businesses across the island and the EU.
• price + currency
• location — region of Cyprus (Limassol / Paphos / Larnaca / Nicosia / Famagusta)
• address — detailed address
• latitude / longitude — for map
• images[] — photo URL array (5-15 recommended)
• contact_name, contact_phone, contact_email
• category-specific attributes:
  • Real Estate: bedrooms, bathrooms, area_sqm, area_land, parking, year_built, energy_rating
  • Auto: brand, model, year, mileage, fuel_type, transmission, body_type, color
• status — active / sold / rented / withdrawn
• created_at, updated_at

Category mapping of Bazaraki

Bazaraki has a complex category hierarchy (3-4 levels), accurate mapping is required:

• Real Estate: Houses → For Sale / Rent → Detached / Semi-detached / Townhouse
• Real Estate: Apartments → For Sale / Rent → 1 bed / 2 bed / 3 bed / 4+ bed
• Real Estate: Commercial → Offices / Shops / Warehouses
• Auto: Cars → Sedan / SUV / Hatchback / Coupe / Convertible
• Auto: Motorcycles → Sport / Cruiser / Scooter / ATV
• Auto: Commercial → Vans / Trucks / Buses
• Services: Construction / Beauty / Education / Legal / Medical

We will create a mapping table between your categories and Bazaraki. If you have your own hierarchy (e.g., by districts of Limassol) - we'll gather two-level logic.

Sync statuses: key feature

Main pain without integration - manually removing listings from Bazaraki when item is sold/handed over. Solution via feed:

• In each listing feed, there is a status (active / sold / rented / withdrawn)
• When the status changes on the site → automatically updates in the feed
• Bazaraki upon next fetch removes listing or marks "Sold"
• Without sync - listings on Bazaraki are outdated, leading to fines from Bazaraki for "fake ads".

Image processing

Bazaraki image requirements:

• Minimum 800x600px, recommended 1920x1080px
• Format: JPEG (preferred), PNG, WebP not always supported
• File size up to 5MB
• At least 5 photos per listing for better ranking, ideally 10-15.
• Watermark with your logo - recommended (from being copied by other sellers)
• First photo = main (visible in preview)

We do automatic optimization: resize, JPEG compression (quality 80-85), watermark, file names with SEO keywords.

SEO optimization of listings on Bazaraki

To push listing higher in Bazaraki's search:

• Keyword-rich title + area (e.g., "3-bedroom apartment in Mesa Geitonia, Limassol")
• A detailed description of 200-500 words with unique text
• 10-15 high-quality photos
• Exact address and coordinates (for geo-filters)
• All optional attributes filled in (for filters)
• Fresh listings (Bazaraki ranking considers recency)

Anti-fraud and moderation

Bazaraki actively fights against duplicates and spam:

• Automatic photo comparison (via perceptual hash)
• No duplication of titles and descriptions
• Limitations on phone/email per account
• Hand moderation upon first publication
• Penalty for "too good to be true" prices (fraud detection)

For partner accounts, moderation is lighter, but all rules still need to be followed.
