TipCars Data Parser & API

TipCars is Czechia’s #2 car portal — around 0.9M visits per month but a large ~400K-listing catalog — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including spec, mileage, photos and dealer details, through one REST API. Owned by Vltava Labe Media (Penta), TipCars punches above its traffic with one of the deepest catalogs in the Czech market.

What is TipCars?

TipCars (tipcars.com) is the second-largest car portal in Czechia, operated by Vltava Labe Media under the Penta investment group. It carries dealer-heavy used- and new-car listings. TipCars draws ~0.9M visits per month (SimilarWeb) but self-reports a deep ~400K-listing catalog (2025).

Market Position

TipCars ranks #2 in Czechia behind Sauto.cz. While its traffic is modest (~0.9M/mo, SimilarWeb), its ~400K-listing catalog (2025, self-reported) makes it disproportionately valuable as a data source — broad dealer inventory at low anti-bot friction. Carapis serves its listing data through the same unified endpoint as every other platform.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each TipCars listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price
• Specification — factory options and trim
• Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery

Its large catalog relative to traffic makes TipCars an efficient complement to Sauto.cz for full Czech-market coverage.
