AutoTrader NZ Data Parser & API

AutoTrader NZ is a New Zealand used and new car portal — reaching 300,000+ car buyers a month — and Carapis extracts its dealer and private listing data through one REST API. It is a smaller, dealer-focused complement to Trade Me Motors and Turners (and is distinct from the unrelated Auto Trader brands in Australia, the UK and US).

What is AutoTrader NZ?

AutoTrader NZ is a New Zealand automotive listings portal covering used and new vehicles from dealers and private sellers. It draws 300,000+ car buyers per month — a smaller audience than Trade Me Motors but a focused dealer-listing source. Note: AutoTrader NZ is a distinct, independent brand and is not affiliated with the Auto Trader marketplaces in Australia, the UK or the US.

Market Position

AutoTrader NZ is a mid-sized portal in the New Zealand market, reaching 300,000+ car buyers per month — well behind Trade Me Motors (1M+ buyers/mo) but a useful additional source of dealer listings. It rounds out NZ coverage alongside the Trade Me marketplace and the Turners auction network. As a dealer-leaning portal, its data complements the C2C and auction supply captured elsewhere.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each AutoTrader NZ listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, variant, year, body type, fuel type, transmission
• Condition & pricing — odometer (mileage), listed price
• Listing context — dealer or private seller, location (region), photo gallery

As a dealer-focused NZ portal, AutoTrader NZ adds breadth to retail-price coverage that complements Trade Me and Turners.
