CarWale Data Parser & API
CarWale is one of India’s leading used-and-new car marketplaces — an estimated ~17.9M monthly visits (Semrush Apr 2026; SimilarWeb reported ~51M in Nov 2024) — and Carapis extracts its full listing, pricing and dealer data through one REST API. Owned by CarTrade Tech (the listed group that also owns CarTrade, OLX India, BikeWale and Shriram Automall), CarWale sits at the centre of India’s largest auto ownership cluster, and Carapis serves it without you maintaining a CDN/JS-defended scraper.

What is CarWale?
CarWale is an Indian car portal and aggregator operated by CarTrade Tech. It carries both used and new car listings with prices, variant specs, dealer details and photo galleries, and is one of the highest-traffic auto sites in India. Estimates diverge widely between sources: Semrush reported ~17.9M/mo in April 2026, while SimilarWeb reported ~51M in November 2024 — treat both as order-of-magnitude.
Market Position
CarWale is part of CarTrade Tech, the single most important ownership cluster in Indian auto classifieds. The group owns CarWale, CarTrade, OLX India (acquired Aug 2023 for ₹535.54 Cr, adding ~68M average monthly unique visitors and ~32M listings/yr), BikeWale and Shriram Automall (B2B auctions). One parser stack against CarTrade properties therefore covers used C2C (OLX India), used/new portal (CarWale), motorcycles (BikeWale) and physical-auction inventory — a huge slice of India’s organised auto listings.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each CarWale listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, variant, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage on used listings
- Pricing — listed price (new and used)
- Specification — variant-level specs and features
- Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery
CarWale’s combination of used+new listings with dealer data makes it a core pricing and inventory feed for the Indian market.
