Russia Car Market Data

Carapis provides car-listing data for Russia’s leading marketplaces — Avito Auto, Drom.ru and Auto.ru — through one REST API; Avito Auto self-reports 35M+ monthly auto visitors and ~3M+ active listings, making it the dominant car platform in Russia. The Russian market is huge and classifieds-led, with three major players carrying both private and dealer inventory behind strong captcha and JS anti-bot defenses.

Dominant marketplaces

  • Avito Auto — the auto vertical of Avito, Russia’s largest classifieds site. Self-reports 35M+ monthly auto visitors and ~3M+ active listings (avito.ru sees ~280M/mo all-category), covering used, new, dealer, private, moto and commercial.
  • Drom.ru — a long-established classifieds portal (~22M visits/mo, Semrush Jan 2026), especially strong in the Russian Far East and import-heavy regions.
  • Auto.ru — owned by Yandex (~17M visits/mo), a polished portal with dealer and private listings and Yandex SmartCaptcha protection.
  • AM.ru — a mid-tier portal adding further dealer and used inventory.

Russian listings carry price, mileage, specs and dealer data; direct scraping is hard because of PerimeterX/Geetest-class and SmartCaptcha defenses, which Carapis manages.
