Webmotors Data Parser & API
Webmotors is Brazil’s #1 car portal — roughly 22-27M visits a month and 2M+ active listings — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including deep vehicle spec, dealer info and signals from its proprietary used-car price index, through one REST API. Owned by CAR Group (~70%) with Santander (~30%), Webmotors anchors the largest car market in Latin America, so a single parser covers the whole of Brazil’s dominant marketplace.

What is Webmotors?
Webmotors is the leading car marketplace in Brazil, listing used, new, dealer and private vehicles. It is majority-owned by CAR Group (the parent of carsales.com.au, Encar and Chileautos), with Banco Santander holding around 30% after selling down a stake. In 2024 it launched a used-car price index, a data product that makes its pricing signals especially valuable. Webmotors draws an estimated ~22-27M visits/mo with 2M+ listings (SimilarWeb/Semrush, 2025).
Market Position
Webmotors is #1 in Brazil — the dominant national car market in Latin America — with ~22.5M visits/mo measured by Semrush (Feb 2025) and 2M+ live listings. Its owner, CAR Group, runs a single corporate data model across Australia (carsales), Korea (Encar), Chile (Chileautos) and Brazil (Webmotors), so techniques that structure Webmotors data transfer to those siblings. The Santander stake is part of Brazil’s distinctive bank-owned portal pattern (iCarros↔Itaú, Mobiauto↔Banco Pan), where lenders own the classifieds to own the financing. Webmotors’ standout asset is its proprietary used-car price index — a valuation signal few regional portals publish.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Webmotors listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission, body type
- Condition — mileage
- Pricing — listed price plus price-index signal (Webmotors’ proprietary used-car pricing reference)
- Specification — factory options and trim packages
- Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery
The price index is what makes Webmotors uniquely valuable for valuation products: it is a market-pricing reference rather than just a single asking price.
