Car Data API for Exporters & Importers
Car exporters and importers use Carapis to source vehicles and verify their condition remotely — pulling inspection sheets, mileage, accident history, options and prices from Korean and Japanese portals like Encar, Goo-net and USS through one REST API — so they can buy across borders without a person at every auction. Carapis turns scattered, JavaScript-heavy, regionally blocked marketplaces into one structured feed you can query from anywhere.
Who they are
Cross-border car traders move Korean, Japanese and European used vehicles into markets across Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America and the Pacific. The whole business is remote vetting: you are buying a car you will never physically inspect before it ships. The constraint is trustworthy condition data — and the markets richest in exportable stock (Korea, Japan) are exactly the ones with the strongest anti-bot and regional access controls.
What data they pull
- Condition records — official inspection sheets (Korea), auction grade sheets (Japan) and accident/repair history, the fields that make a remote purchase safe.
- Mileage and identity — make, model, trim, year and mileage to match buyer demand in the destination market.
- Pricing and price history — to land vehicles at a margin after freight and duties.
- Photos and options — to confirm spec and trim before committing.
- Source and location — dealer or auction context for logistics planning.
Why Carapis
Korean and Japanese portals are precisely the sources hardest to reach from outside the country — JS-rendered, private app APIs, regional blocks. Carapis already solves that extraction and delivers inspection-sheet and accident data as structured fields, not scanned PDFs, so your sourcing tools can score and filter thousands of cars automatically. One source parameter switches between Encar, Goo-net, USS and the rest. See the markets we cover and pricing.
