Otomoto Data Parser & API
Otomoto is Poland’s #1 car portal — around 43M visits per month across 1M+ ads — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including spec, trim, mileage, photos, finance and dealer details, through one REST API. Owned by OLX Group (Prosus/Naspers), Otomoto runs the same tech stack as Autovit (Romania) and StandVirtual (Portugal), so one parser pattern generalizes across several markets.

What is Otomoto?
Otomoto (otomoto.pl) is the dominant car vertical in Poland, operated by OLX Group under Prosus/Naspers. It carries dealer and private listings plus motorcycles and commercial vehicles, on a standardized OLX-Motors schema. Otomoto draws ~43M visits per month (SimilarWeb, May 2025) with roughly 1M+ active ads.
Market Position
Otomoto is the leading auto vertical in Poland with ~43M monthly visits (SimilarWeb, May 2025) and 1M+ ads. Its strategic value goes beyond Poland: as an OLX Group / Prosus property it shares one technical platform with Autovit.ro, OLX.ro, OLX.uz and StandVirtual, so a single OLX-Motors parser pattern likely generalizes across all of them. That consolidation means one integration effort yields consistent, normalized data across several countries. The site is JS-rendered with DataDome-class anti-bot — work Carapis absorbs.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Otomoto listing on the standardized OLX-Motors schema:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage
- Pricing — listed price and finance options where shown
- Specification — factory options and trim
- Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery
The consistent OLX-Motors field schema across Poland, Romania and Portugal makes Otomoto data easy to normalize alongside its sister sites.
