Carwow Data Parser & API

Carwow is a UK, German and Spanish car marketplace — combining new-car lead generation with a “sell my car” auction — and Carapis extracts its listing and offer data through one REST API. Carwow blends dealer offers, used inventory and consumer auctions across three markets, and Carapis serves the data without you building a scraper.

What is Carwow?

Carwow is a car-buying and selling marketplace operating in the UK, Germany and Spain. It started as a new-car lead-generation platform connecting buyers with dealer offers, and has expanded into used cars and a “sell my car” auction model. In 2024 it acquired Autovia (Auto Express, evo, Carbuyer, DrivingElectric) and raised $52M to expand across the UK, Germany and Spain.

Market Position

Carwow occupies a hybrid position: new-car lead-gen plus a “sell my car” auction, rather than a pure listings portal, operating across the UK, Germany and Spain. Its 2024 Autovia acquisition and $52M raise signalled expansion ambitions. For data buyers, Carwow’s value lies in its dealer-offer and auction signals across three markets — a different angle from straightforward classified inventory.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Carwow listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year
• Specification — fuel type, transmission, spec details
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price / dealer offer
• Listing context — dealer info, location, photo gallery

Carwow’s mix of new-car offers, used inventory and auction data makes it useful for understanding dealer pricing across the UK, Germany and Spain.
