Goo-net Data Parser & API
Goo-net is one of Japan’s leading used-car portals — about 24 million visits per month and ~500K listings, run by PROTO Corporation — and Carapis extracts its listing data, including auction-sheet condition grades and export pricing, through one REST API. Its English-language Goo-net Exchange is the key gateway for the global Japanese-used-car export trade, and Carapis serves both without you building a scraper.

What is Goo-net?
Goo-net (グーネット, goo-net.com) is a major Japanese used-car portal operated by PROTO Corporation, carrying roughly 500K listings and ~24M monthly visits (Dec 2024). It is best known for Goo-net Exchange, its English-language export gateway, which republishes Japanese dealer inventory — often with auction-sheet-derived condition grades and FOB export pricing — for buyers worldwide. That makes Goo-net unusually important for the cross-border use case among Japanese portals.
Market Position
Goo-net is the #2 Japanese vehicles portal by traffic (~24M/mo, Dec 2024), behind Carsensor (~35.8M/mo). Its strategic edge is the export channel: Goo-net Exchange is one of the primary English gateways through which Japanese used cars reach Africa, Asia and beyond. Unlike a purely domestic portal, it surfaces export-oriented fields — condition grades and FOB pricing — making it a cornerstone source for the global Japanese-used-car trade.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Goo-net listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage, dealer condition grade, auction-sheet-derived condition grade (where republished), remaining shaken
- Pricing — domestic listed price and FOB export price (on the export gateway)
- Specification — factory and dealer-added options
- Listing context — dealer info, location, full photo gallery
Goo-net’s standout is its export layer: auction-sheet condition grades plus FOB pricing on Goo-net Exchange give import buyers structured, normalizable condition and landed-cost data that domestic-only portals lack.
