Autofact Data Parser & API

Autofact is Chile’s CARFAX-style vehicle-history service — pairing used-car listings with detailed history and accident records — and Carapis extracts its data, including history, accident and owner fields, through one REST API. In a region where structured condition data is scarce, Autofact’s history reports are one of the richest sources of accident/history fields in Latin America.

What is Autofact?

Autofact (autofact.cl) is a Chilean vehicle-history service — the closest thing Chile has to a CARFAX — that generates structured history reports for used cars and also surfaces used-car listings. Its reports cover prior incidents, ownership and other history that ordinary classifieds don’t provide, making it a data-rich source for condition and provenance.

Market Position

Autofact fills a region-wide gap: outside of online-dealers like Kavak, Latin America has little public VIN-history or inspection-sheet data — and Autofact is one of the few services that generates it itself. As Chile’s CARFAX-style history provider, it complements the listing depth of Chileautos and Yapo.cl with the accident and history fields they lack, making it valuable for condition-aware pricing and vetting.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from Autofact:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage
• History — vehicle history report, accident/incident history, owner history (Autofact’s standout CARFAX-style fields)
• Pricing — listed price (where listings are present)
• Listing context — location, photo gallery

The history and accident fields are Autofact’s distinctive value — among the richest structured condition/provenance data available in the region.
