Clutch Data Parser & API

Clutch is Canada’s leading online-only used-car retailer — an estimated 1.8M visits per month across thousands of reconditioned vehicles in stock — and Carapis extracts its full own-inventory listing data, including fixed pricing, condition and history reports, through one REST API. Clutch sells its own reconditioned inventory with fixed prices, giving clean, standardized structured data — delivered without you building or maintaining a scraper.

What is Clutch?

Clutch (clutch.ca) is a Canadian online-only used-car retailer, the Canadian counterpart to US players like Carvana and CarMax. It sells its own reconditioned inventory with fixed, no-haggle online pricing and per-vehicle history reports. Traffic is estimated at ~1.8M visits per month (2025) across thousands of vehicles in stock. Because every car is Clutch’s own inventory, listings are highly standardized.

Market Position

Clutch draws an estimated 1.8M visits per month (2025), making it the leading online-only used-car retailer in Canada — smaller than the marketplaces (AutoTrader.ca, Kijiji) but the clean own-inventory benchmark for the market. Its data is single-seller: uniform and high-quality but scoped to Clutch inventory only. As an online retailer with fixed pricing, it provides a reliable reference point for Canadian retail used-car prices.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Clutch listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, VIN
• Condition — mileage, reconditioned condition
• Pricing — fixed no-haggle online price
• Specification — factory options and trim packages
• Listing context — location, standardized photo gallery
• History — per-vehicle history report

The standardized own-inventory format makes Clutch data unusually clean for benchmarking Canadian retail used-car pricing.
