Guazi Data Parser & API

Guazi (瓜子二手车) is one of China’s best-known online used-car platforms — part of the Chehaoduo/Uxin lineage — and Carapis extracts its inspected, fixed-price listing data, including mileage, condition reports and photos, through one REST API. Originally famous for its “no middleman” C2C pitch, Guazi has shifted toward a dealer-platform model, and Carapis serves its data without you battling China’s geo-blocks and JavaScript rendering.

What is Guazi?

Guazi (瓜子二手车) is a major Chinese online used-car platform tied to the Chehaoduo/Uxin lineage. It launched with a direct C2C “no middleman” model and heavy vehicle inspections, then pivoted toward a dealer-platform approach. Each car typically carries a structured inspection/condition report and a set price, which makes Guazi data cleaner and more standardized than open classifieds. SimilarWeb shows ~768K desktop visits (Nov 2024), but that understates real usage since Chinese traffic is overwhelmingly in-app.

Market Position

Guazi competes in China’s enormous used-car market — 20.1M transactions in 2025 (SCIO) — as an inspection-led online dealer rather than an info portal like Autohome or Che168. Its SimilarWeb figure (~768K desktop, Nov 2024) badly understates reality because Chinese traffic is overwhelmingly in-app and behind the Great Firewall, so treat it as a floor signal. Guazi’s differentiator is transaction-grade, inspected inventory with set prices, distinct from the dealer-ad model of the portals.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Guazi listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage and structured inspection/condition report
• Pricing — set price (transaction-grade, not open asking)
• Specification — options and trim
• Listing context — location, photo gallery

Guazi’s standout is its inspection report plus fixed pricing: like KCar in Korea, its data reflects what an inspected car actually sells for, making it a clean benchmark for Chinese used-car residual values.
