ZigWheels Data Parser & API

ZigWheels is a car-and-bike research portal in the CarDekho Group — sharing CarDekho’s deep new-car specification and on-road-pricing database — and Carapis extracts its spec, pricing and review data through one REST API. Acquired by the CarDekho Group (Girnar Software) in 2015, ZigWheels carries variant-level specs and city pricing for both cars and two-wheelers, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is ZigWheels?

ZigWheels is an Indian automobile research portal covering new and used cars plus motorcycles, owned by the CarDekho Group since 2015. It shares the group’s spec/price moat — variant-level technical specifications, city-wise on-road pricing, and expert/owner reviews. Its traffic is reported jointly with CarDekho rather than separately.

Market Position

ZigWheels sits inside the CarDekho Group (Girnar Software), which also owns CarDekho, BikeDekho, Gaadi.com, PowerDrift and InsuranceDekho. This consolidation means ZigWheels draws on the deepest structured new-car spec database in India. Together with CarDekho, it is the spec-and-pricing pillar of one of the country’s two dominant auto groups (the other being CarTrade Tech). Parsing ZigWheels and CarDekho together gives full CarDekho-group spec coverage.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from ZigWheels:

  • Vehicle identity — make, model, variant, model year, fuel type, transmission
  • Specification — variant-level technical specs (cars and two-wheelers)
  • Pricing — listed price plus city-wise on-road pricing
  • Listing context — expert/owner reviews, photos, location

ZigWheels’ variant-level specs and on-road pricing make it valuable for spec enrichment and pricing models across both cars and motorcycles.
