Australia Car Market Data

Carapis provides car-listing data for Australia’s leading marketplaces — carsales.com.au, CarsGuide and Gumtree Cars — through one REST API; carsales is the dominant national portal, drawing around 11.2M monthly visits and 100M+ searches per month. Australia is a consolidated car market led by carsales (the CAR Group flagship that also owns Encar and part of Webmotors), backed by the Gumtree network and physical auctions.

Dominant marketplaces

• carsales.com.au — Australia’s #1 car portal, owned by CAR Group (the same group behind Encar and Webmotors). ~11.2M visits/mo (Jan 2025) and 100M+ searches/mo across used, new, dealer and private stock.
• CarsGuide — owned by the Gumtree Group, the #2 vehicles portal, part of a 2M+ listing network.
• Gumtree Cars (AU) — the Gumtree classifieds auto vertical, strong on private-seller listings within a 2M+ live-listing network.
• Pickles — a major physical and online auction group with rotating used, commercial and salvage stock.

Australian listings carry price, mileage, specs and dealer data; carsales’ shared CAR Group data model means parsing techniques transfer across Encar, Webmotors and carsales.
