Leboncoin Data Parser & API

Leboncoin is France’s #1 marketplace — around 124M visits per month across all verticals — and its auto section is the country’s dominant car classifieds, which Carapis extracts through one REST API. Owned by Adevinta (Permira/Blackstone), Leboncoin carries the deepest private/C2C car inventory in France — vehicles you will not find on dealer-only portals — and Carapis serves it without you fighting a DataDome-protected scraper.

What is Leboncoin?

Leboncoin is the leading classifieds marketplace in France, owned by Adevinta (controlled by Permira and Blackstone). Its vehicles vertical is the #1 auto marketplace in the country by traffic and revenue, carrying both private (C2C) and dealer listings for cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. The site draws ~124M visits/mo across all categories (Mar 2025), making its automotive section one of the largest car-data sources in Western Europe.

Market Position

Leboncoin is France’s dominant auto marketplace, part of a site that sees ~124M visits/mo across all verticals (Mar 2025). Its parent, leboncoin Group, acquired the Argus Group (L’Argus, France’s reference vehicle-valuation brand) and PayCar, and in 2025 began charging private vehicle sellers — a sign of how central auto is to its business. The standout asset for data buyers is its private/C2C inventory: a large pool of vehicles absent from dealer-only portals, valuable for true market-supply and pricing analysis.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Leboncoin car listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, body type
• Specification — fuel type, transmission, spec details
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price
• Listing context — seller type (private vs dealer), location, photo gallery

The private-vs-dealer seller flag and the depth of C2C listings make Leboncoin uniquely valuable for understanding the full French used-car supply, not just the dealer slice.
