AUTO.RIA Data Parser & API

AUTO.RIA is Ukraine’s #1 car marketplace — roughly 74M browser and app visits per month across ~300K listings — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including VIN-based vehicle history, spec, mileage and dealer details, through one REST API. Operated by RIA.com Marketplaces, AUTO.RIA is a global top-15 auto vertical and one of the few platforms in the region that exposes a documented developer API, making its data unusually rich and accessible.

What is AUTO.RIA?

AUTO.RIA (auto.ria.com) is the dominant car marketplace in Ukraine, run by RIA.com Marketplaces (also behind DOM.RIA and RIA.com). It carries both dealer and private listings and is best known in the region for attaching VIN-based vehicle history and check data to listings. AUTO.RIA self-reports around 74M browser and app visits per month and roughly 300K active listings.

Market Position

AUTO.RIA is overwhelmingly dominant in Ukraine and ranks as a global top-15 automotive vertical, with ~74M browser+app visits per month (self-reported) and ~300K active listings. Crucially, it is the standout low-friction target in Eastern Europe and CIS: it publishes a documented developer API, so its structured fields — including VIN history — are exposed more openly than on any other regional portal. Carapis serves that data through one unified endpoint so you do not have to manage tokens, rate limits or Cloudflare yourself.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each AUTO.RIA listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage and VIN-based vehicle history (the standout regional field: odometer, prior records and checks tied to the VIN)
• Pricing — listed price
• Specification — factory options and trim
• Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery

The VIN history is what makes AUTO.RIA especially valuable for import/export and pricing buyers: it is the closest analogue in the region to a CARFAX-style condition record, delivered as structured fields.
