OLX Pakistan Data Parser & API
OLX Pakistan (olx.com.pk) is one of the two largest vehicle-classifieds sites in Pakistan — PakWheels’ top competitor by traffic — and Carapis extracts its used-car listing data, including price, mileage and seller info, through one REST API. Owned by OLX Group (Prosus) — and, unlike OLX India, not divested to a local group — OLX Pakistan is a broad C2C classifieds source, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is OLX Pakistan?
OLX Pakistan is the Pakistani arm of the OLX classifieds brand, operated by OLX Group (Prosus). Its vehicles vertical covers used cars, private-sale listings and motorcycles, and ranks among the top-2 auto-classifieds sites in Pakistan alongside PakWheels. Note that this is OLX Pakistan — distinct from OLX India, which was sold to CarTrade Tech in 2023.
Market Position
OLX Pakistan is PakWheels’ main classifieds competitor, ranking in the top-2 Pakistani auto sites by SimilarWeb traffic. As a broad C2C platform it carries large private-sale volume, complementing PakWheels’ portal-and-dealer depth. Its OLX/Prosus ownership keeps it distinct from the CarTrade Tech cluster that absorbed OLX India.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each OLX Pakistan vehicle listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage (self-reported)
- Pricing — listed asking price
- Import context — registration city (relevant for reconditioned imports)
- Listing context — seller info, location, photo gallery
OLX Pakistan is a classifieds source (listing-level fields, no VIN feed), best used alongside PakWheels for full national coverage.
