Copart Data Parser & API

Copart is the world’s largest online salvage and used-vehicle auction platform — moving 4M+ vehicles a year across 11 countries with ~250K+ live lots at a time — and Carapis extracts its full lot data, including VIN, primary/secondary damage, run-and-drive status, title brand and sale history, through one REST API. This salvage condition and history data is prized by importers, rebuilders and parts buyers, and Carapis delivers it without you maintaining a login-gated, anti-bot-heavy scraper.

What is Copart?

Copart is a global online vehicle-auction company that sells salvage, used, repairable, fleet and clean-title vehicles, mostly sourced from insurers. With operations across 11 countries and 250+ yards, it runs ~250K+ live lots and moves 4M+ vehicles per year. Together with IAA it forms a duopoly holding roughly 80% of the US salvage market. Copart sees ~13M monthly visits (SimilarWeb, Jul 2025).

Market Position

Copart is one half of the US salvage-auction duopoly, with ~13M visits/mo (SimilarWeb, Jul 2025), ~250K+ live lots and 4M+ vehicles auctioned annually across 11 countries. Its insurance-sourced supply makes its data uniquely rich for damage and title history — fields that drive importer and rebuilder decisions. Because Copart operates one platform across many markets, a single Carapis parser surfaces salvage supply spanning the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Germany, Brazil and more.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Copart lot:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, VIN
• Condition — mileage, primary and secondary damage type, run-and-drive status, title brand (the standout salvage fields)
• Auction — current bid, sale date, lot number, sale history
• Listing context — yard location, photo set

VIN plus damage type, run-and-drive status, title brand and sale history are what make Copart’s data uniquely valuable: they let importers and rebuilders assess and price a damaged vehicle remotely — structured fields rather than scattered notes.
