What is Avito Auto?
Avito Auto is the vehicles vertical of Avito, the leading classifieds site in Russia. It combines a huge private-seller (C2C) base with dealer inventory, covering used and new cars plus motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Avito self-reports 35M+ monthly auto visits and roughly 3M+ active vehicle listings, drawing on avito.ru’s ~280M/mo all-category traffic.
Market Position
Avito Auto is the region’s biggest dataset by a wide margin: ~3M+ active vehicle ads, more than any other Eastern Europe / CIS platform, representing a large share of Russian online auto traffic. Its scale across both private and dealer listings makes it the prize target for inventory and pricing analysis in the region. The trade-off is anti-bot difficulty — Avito runs PerimeterX/Geetest-class protection and JS rendering — which is exactly the work Carapis absorbs so you receive clean structured data through one endpoint.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Avito Auto listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage (and VIN where the seller provides it)
- Pricing — listed price
- Specification — factory options and trim
- Listing context — seller type (private vs dealer), location, photo gallery
The breadth of ~3M+ ads is what makes Avito uniquely valuable: it is the most complete view of the Russian used-car market available as structured data.
