PakWheels Data Parser & API

PakWheels is the undisputed leader of Pakistan’s online car market — ~6-7M monthly visits, 150K+ active listings (64.7K+ used cars) and 25M+ visitors a year — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including heavy reconditioned-import inventory, through one REST API. A single PakWheels parser covers an entire national market end to end (used, new, reconditioned-import, motorcycles, parts and dealers), making it likely the highest value-per-effort target in South Asia — and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is PakWheels?

PakWheels (est. 2003) is Pakistan’s dominant car portal and classifieds site, covering used and new cars, reconditioned imports, motorcycles, parts and dealers. It self-reports 25M+ annual visitors (over 20% of Pakistan’s internet population), 150K+ active vehicle listings, 64.7K used cars and 400K+ transactions/yr, plus a PakWheels Certified inspection program. In February 2026 it moved to free listings with extended ad duration, a sign of OLX competitive pressure.

Market Position

PakWheels is the clear #1 in Pakistan, well ahead of OLX Pakistan by depth of automotive data. Because it is effectively the national marketplace, one PakWheels parser covers an entire country’s car market — including a long tail of reconditioned-import (JDM) inventory with import-year, registration-city and grade-style fields that mirror the Japanese-auction demand seen in import/export. SimilarWeb/Semrush estimate ~6.1-7.3M monthly visits (Jan 2026).

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each PakWheels listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, variant, model year, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage; PakWheels Certified inspection status on certified cars
• Pricing — listed asking price
• Import context — import year and registration city (the standout PakWheels fields for reconditioned imports)
• Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery

The reconditioned-import fields make PakWheels especially valuable for import/export buyers tracking JDM inventory flowing into Pakistan.
