Carsome Data Parser & API
Carsome is Southeast Asia’s largest online used-car dealer — a single brand spanning Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines — and Carapis extracts its inspected-vehicle listing data, including condition reports and reconditioning history, through one REST API. Because Carsome runs one codebase across five countries, a single Carapis parser delivers multi-market SEA used-car inventory without you building or maintaining a scraper per country.

What is Carsome?
Carsome is an integrated online used-car marketplace and dealer operating across five Southeast Asian markets. Unlike open classifieds, Carsome buys, inspects, reconditions and resells vehicles, so each listing carries inspection-report-style structured data — a multi-point condition check, reconditioning notes and warranty terms. It reports roughly 60% online used-car share across its core MY/ID/TH markets.
Market Position
Carsome (Carsome Group) is the dominant pure-play online used-car dealer in Southeast Asia, with large regional inventory and a reported ~60% online share across Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Through its iCar Asia acquisition, Carsome also owns the dominant national classified portals in the region — Carlist.my (MY), One2car (TH), Mobil123 (ID) and Carmudi (PH/ID/VN) — so a single ownership cluster covers the leading auto portals across five SEA countries. This consolidation means one Carapis integration reaches several national markets at once.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Carsome listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage, multi-point inspection report, reconditioning history
- Pricing — fixed listed price
- Assurance — warranty / certification terms
- Listing context — location, photo gallery
The inspection report and reconditioning data are what make Carsome valuable: as a managed online dealer, its data is clean, fixed-price and condition-verified — higher quality (if lower volume) than open classifieds.
