InstaCarro Data Parser & API

InstaCarro is Brazil’s C2B (consumer-to-business) auction-to-dealer used-car platform — buying cars from consumers and selling them to dealers via auction — and Carapis extracts its available listing data, including make, model, year, mileage and price, through one REST API. It exposes a different slice of the market: cars priced through a dealer-auction flow rather than retail classifieds.

What is InstaCarro?

InstaCarro (instacarro.com) is a Brazilian online-dealer operating a C2B model: consumers sell their cars, which InstaCarro then auctions to its dealer network. It has raised around $66.9M to date. Because vehicles move through an auction-to-dealer flow rather than a public retail listing site, its data reflects wholesale-style dealer pricing.

Market Position

InstaCarro is one of Latin America’s online-dealer/fintech challengers, alongside Karvi and Creditas Auto. Its C2B auction model gives a wholesale, dealer-facing pricing signal that complements the retail asking prices on portals like Webmotors. As an auction-to-dealer flow, public listing volume is limited and not separately published, so it is a lower-priority but distinctive data source for understanding the dealer-acquisition side of Brazil’s used-car market.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts the available structured fields from InstaCarro’s auction flow:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage, condition assessment
• Pricing — auction / dealer-facing price
• Listing context — location, photo gallery

The wholesale dealer-auction pricing is InstaCarro’s distinctive signal — useful as a buy-side counterpart to retail asking prices.
