Mobile.de Data Parser & API

Mobile.de is Germany’s #1 car marketplace — around 57.5M visits per month and an estimated 1.4M+ live listings — and Carapis extracts its full listing data, including German spec fields and TÜV/HU inspection context, through one REST API. Owned by Adevinta (controlled by a Permira + Blackstone consortium since the 2023 take-private), Mobile.de carries the deepest structured used-car data in Europe’s largest car market, and Carapis serves it without you fighting a DataDome-protected scraper.

What is Mobile.de?

Mobile.de is the leading vehicle marketplace in Germany, also serving Austria, listing cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles from both licensed dealers and private sellers. It is owned by Adevinta, the pan-European classifieds group taken private in 2023 by Permira and Blackstone. With roughly 57.5M monthly visits (SimilarWeb, Mar 2026) and well over a million live listings, it is the definitive source for German used-car inventory and pricing.

Market Position

Mobile.de is the clear #1 by traffic in Germany at ~57.5M visits/mo (SimilarWeb, Mar 2026), ahead of AutoScout24’s German site, with an estimated ~1.4M+ vehicles live. In 2025 its owners (Permira/Blackstone via Adevinta) were weighing a multi-billion-euro IPO or stake sale of the asset, with interest reported from Prosus and EQT — a signal of how strategically valuable German auto-classifieds data has become. Because Germany is the largest used-car market in Europe, one Mobile.de parser unlocks the single richest national dataset on the continent.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Mobile.de listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, first registration date
• Specification — power (kW/PS), fuel type, emission class, transmission, factory options
• Condition — mileage and TÜV/HU inspection status (the German roadworthiness check — valuable history-adjacent data, analogous to Korean Encar inspection sheets)
• Pricing — listed price
• Listing context — dealer / private seller info, location, photo gallery

The German spec depth (power, emission class, first-registration, TÜV/HU) is what makes Mobile.de data uniquely valuable for pricing intelligence and cross-border import buyers.
