Edmunds Data Parser & API
Edmunds is a leading US automotive valuation and listings aggregator — around 15.5M visits per month — and Carapis extracts both its True Market Value pricing and its dealer listings through one REST API. Owned by CarMax, Edmunds layers structured valuation data on top of dealer-feed inventory, making it a strong pricing-signal source — delivered without you building or maintaining a scraper.

What is Edmunds?
Edmunds is a well-known US car-research and shopping site owned by CarMax. It draws roughly 15.5M visits per month (Semrush, Apr 2026), combining editorial reviews, dealer-feed listings and its True Market Value (TMV) pricing — structured estimates of what buyers actually pay. The TMV pricing layer, like KBB’s value bands, is what differentiates Edmunds from a pure listings portal.
Market Position
Edmunds attracts ~15.5M visits per month (Semrush, Apr 2026), sitting alongside TrueCar in the US aggregator/valuation tier below the big shopping portals. It is owned by CarMax, so it shares an ownership cluster with the largest US used-car retailer within Carapis’s North American coverage. Its value to data buyers is the valuation layer: True Market Value provides a pricing reference that complements raw listings from CarGurus, Cars.com and AutoTrader.com.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a complete structured record from Edmunds:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, VIN
- Condition — mileage and condition
- Valuation — True Market Value (TMV) price estimates (the standout field)
- Pricing — dealer listing price (via dealer feed)
- Specification — factory options and trim packages
- Listing context — dealer name / location, photo gallery
The TMV valuation data is the unique asset — a ready-made pricing-signal layer for appraisal and residual-value models.
