Blocket Data Parser & API
Blocket is Sweden’s leading classifieds marketplace — part of Vend’s Nordic network that totals ~325M monthly visits across all categories — and Carapis extracts its deep private and dealer car listings through one REST API. Owned by Vend (the rebranded Schibsted Marketplaces), Blocket carries Sweden’s richest C2C car inventory, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is Blocket?
Blocket is Sweden’s dominant general-classifieds platform, owned by Vend (Schibsted Marketplaces, rebranded in 2025). Its vehicles category covers used cars from both private sellers and dealers. In November 2025 Blocket relaunched on a common Nordic architecture shared with Finn.no, Bilbasen and DBA. The wider Vend Nordic network draws ~325M monthly visits across all categories.
Market Position
Blocket is the #1 classifieds destination in Sweden and a flagship of Vend’s Nordic marketplace network (~325M monthly visits group-wide, all categories). Following its November 2025 relaunch on a shared Nordic platform, Blocket sits alongside Finn.no (NO) and Bilbasen/DBA (DK) under common ownership. Its standout asset is private/C2C car inventory — Swedish vehicles listed directly by owners — making it the fullest window into Swedish consumer-level used-car supply.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Blocket car listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, model year
- Specification — fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage
- Pricing — listed price
- Listing context — seller type (private vs dealer), location, photo gallery
The private-seller depth and seller-type flag make Blocket valuable for analysing the C2C half of the Swedish market.
