AutoScout24 Data Parser & API
AutoScout24 is a pan-European car marketplace spanning 18 countries with around 2.5M listings group-wide — and Carapis extracts its full listing data through one REST API, so a single parser gives you Europe-wide coverage. Owned by Hellman & Friedman (acquired in 2020), AutoScout24 runs a common platform across Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France and more — making it the most efficient single source of cross-border European car data, even behind its aggressive Akamai Bot Manager defences.

What is AutoScout24?
AutoScout24 is one of Europe’s largest car marketplaces, headquartered in Munich and operating localized portals across 18 countries from a shared platform. It lists used and new cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles from roughly 45,000 dealers plus private sellers. Its .com flagship sees ~46.6M visits/mo (Dec 2025), and the group carries about 2.5M cars at any time. It is owned by private-equity firm Hellman & Friedman.
Market Position
AutoScout24 is Germany’s #2 auto portal behind Mobile.de and the #1 or leading auto marketplace in several other European markets, with ~46.6M visits/mo on .com (Dec 2025) and ~2.5M listings group-wide. In 2024 the group expanded by acquiring LeasingMarkt.de, AutoProff and Canada’s TRADER Corporation. Because every national site shares one data model, a single AutoScout24 parser unlocks coverage across 18 markets at once — the most efficient cross-border footprint of any European platform Carapis serves.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each AutoScout24 listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, first registration date
- Specification — power (kW/PS), fuel type, emission class, transmission, factory options
- Condition — mileage
- Pricing — listed price
- Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery
The same field structure applies across all 18 markets, so data from Germany, Italy, Spain, France and the Nordics arrives in one consistent shape — ideal for pan-European pricing models.
