OLX Brasil Autos Data Parser & API

OLX Brasil Autos is one of Brazil’s top-five classifieds platforms, owned by Prosus/Naspers, and Carapis extracts its vehicle listing data — make, model, year, mileage, price, seller type and location — through one REST API. It captures the private-seller (C2C) side of Brazil’s car market that dedicated portals like Webmotors largely miss.

What is OLX Brasil Autos?

OLX Brasil is a major general-classifieds platform, and Autos is its vehicles vertical — covering used cars, private and dealer listings, and motorcycles. It is owned by Prosus (the Naspers digital-ecosystem arm). Unlike Brazil’s bank-owned portals, OLX skews heavily toward private (C2C) sellers, making it the place to capture true private-party pricing.

Market Position

OLX Brasil ranks among the country’s top-five classifieds platforms, and its Autos vertical is a primary surface for private-seller cars in Latin America’s largest car market. Note the consolidation contrast with the rest of Brazil: while Webmotors, Mobiauto and iCarros are bank-owned portals, OLX is the Prosus-owned classifieds player — and OLX, iCarros and Mercado Livre have run joint anti-fraud campaigns, showing how interlinked the Brazilian market is. Importantly, OLX’s classifieds business in Brazil remains active, unlike the OLX Autos instant-buy operations that exited Spanish-speaking Latin America in 2023.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each OLX Brasil Autos listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, fuel type, transmission, body type
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price
• Listing context — seller type (private vs. dealer), location, photo gallery

The private-seller coverage is OLX’s distinctive value: it surfaces C2C pricing the dealer-focused portals don’t carry.
