CarGurus UK Data Parser & API

CarGurus UK is a major British car portal — known for its fair-value deal ratings on every listing — and Carapis extracts its full inventory and price-rating data through one REST API. As the UK arm of the US CarGurus group (which also owns PistonHeads), it adds a derived value-rating layer on top of raw listings, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is CarGurus UK?

CarGurus UK is the British site of the US-based CarGurus group, a major car portal carrying used and new vehicles from dealers. Its signature feature is a deal rating on each listing — Great/Good/Fair/Overpriced — derived from market analysis. CarGurus also owns the UK enthusiast portal PistonHeads.

Market Position

CarGurus UK is a high-traffic UK portal that competes with AutoTrader UK and Motors.co.uk. Its standout asset is its deal-rating layer — a fair-value assessment computed across the market and attached to every listing. That derived analytics signal is itself resellable on top of the raw inventory, putting CarGurus UK alongside Comparis and AutoUncle as a price-intelligence source rather than just a listings feed.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each CarGurus UK listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year
• Specification — fuel type, transmission, spec details
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price plus deal rating (CarGurus’ Great/Good/Fair/Overpriced value signal)
• Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery

The deal rating is what sets CarGurus apart: a fair-value analytics layer, not just an asking price, valuable for pricing-intelligence buyers.
