CarDekho Data Parser & API

CarDekho is one of India’s largest car portals — with an estimated ~14-20M monthly visits and the deepest structured new-car specification and on-road-pricing database in the country — and Carapis extracts its listing, spec and pricing data through one REST API. Operated by the CarDekho Group (Girnar Software), it pairs a huge variant-level new-car catalogue with used-car listings, so Carapis serves it without you maintaining a JavaScript-heavy scraper.

What is CarDekho?

CarDekho is an Indian car-research and marketplace portal run by Girnar Software (CarDekho Group). It is best known for the most granular new-car spec and on-road-pricing database in India — variant-level specifications, city-wise on-road prices, expert and owner reviews — alongside used-car listings and dealer connections. SimilarWeb reported around 40M visits in November 2024; Semrush 2025-2026 estimates read lower at ~14-20M/mo.

Market Position

CarDekho is one of the two dominant organised-auto groups in India. The CarDekho Group also owns BikeDekho, Gaadi.com, ZigWheels, PowerDrift, InsuranceDekho and Rupyy — a content-and-spec moat that funnels research traffic into used-car and financing. Its new-car database is the deepest in India and powers spec/price enrichment across the group’s sites. India’s used-car market is estimated at ~USD 36B (2025), projected to roughly double by 2030, making structured spec and pricing data increasingly valuable.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from CarDekho:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, variant/trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Specification — variant-level technical specs (the standout CarDekho field: engine, dimensions, features by trim)
• Pricing — listed price plus city-wise on-road pricing for new cars
• Condition — mileage on used listings
• Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery, expert/owner reviews

CarDekho’s variant-level spec and on-road-pricing fields are what make it especially valuable for price enrichment and residual-value modelling — the richest new-car reference data in India.
