Car Inventory Feed API for Marketplaces & Apps

Carapis populates marketplaces, aggregators and apps with normalized multi-source car listings through one REST API — Encar, Mobile.de, CarGurus and 200+ portals merged into a single consistent schema. Product teams launch and grow inventory-backed apps without building and maintaining a separate scraper and data model for every source.

One feed, every source, one schema

A car marketplace or comparison app is only as good as the inventory behind it, and stitching together feeds from dozens of portals — each with its own fields, formats and anti-bot defenses — is where most projects stall. Carapis does the normalization: listings from Encar (Korea), Mobile.de (Germany), CarGurus (US) and 200+ other portals arrive in the same shape, so you map fields once and your catalog scales to new sources by changing a parameter, not rewriting an integration.

What product teams use the feed for

• Marketplace catalogs — populate and continuously refresh listing inventory from many sources at once.
• Comparison and aggregator apps — show users the same car across portals, with consistent make, model, price and mileage fields.
• Search and recommendation — index a normalized corpus so filtering and ranking behave the same regardless of origin source.
• White-label dealer sites — back partner storefronts with live, structured inventory without per-source plumbing.

Data fields available

Every listing arrives as one normalized record: make, model, trim, year, mileage, price and price history, fuel type, transmission, options, photos, dealer/seller, location and a source tag, plus condition fields (inspection sheets, accident history) where the platform exposes them. Because the schema is identical across all 200+ sources, a single ingestion pipeline and data model serves your entire catalog.
