Our Story
Founded in 2020, Carapis was born from a simple frustration: accessing automotive data from international markets was unnecessarily complex and unreliable.
Our founders, experienced in both automotive industry and data engineering, saw an opportunity to build a better solution. What started as a parser for Korean automotive market (Encar) quickly expanded as demand grew from businesses worldwide.
Today, we serve hundreds of clients across automotive marketplaces, dealerships, research firms, logistics companies, and fintech platforms.
