CarDekho Data Parser & API
CarDekho is one of India’s largest car portals — with an estimated ~14-20M monthly visits and the deepest structured new-car specification and on-road-pricing database in the country — and Carapis can extract its listing, spec and pricing data through one REST API. Operated by the CarDekho Group (Girnar Software), it pairs a huge variant-level new-car catalogue with used-car listings, so Carapis can serve it without you maintaining a JavaScript-heavy scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl CarDekho right now. Activation takes 2–3 weeks of engineering and is quoted per source, because each one ships with dedicated proxies, anti-bot tuning and ongoing maintenance. Ask us to add it.

What is CarDekho?
CarDekho is an Indian car-research and marketplace portal run by Girnar Software (CarDekho Group). It is best known for the most granular new-car spec and on-road-pricing database in India — variant-level specifications, city-wise on-road prices, expert and owner reviews — alongside used-car listings and dealer connections. SimilarWeb reported around 40M visits in November 2024; Semrush 2025-2026 estimates read lower at ~14-20M/mo.
Market Position
CarDekho is one of the two dominant organised-auto groups in India. The CarDekho Group also owns BikeDekho, Gaadi.com, ZigWheels, PowerDrift, InsuranceDekho and Rupyy — a content-and-spec moat that funnels research traffic into used-car and financing. Its new-car database is the deepest in India and powers spec/price enrichment across the group’s sites. India’s used-car market is estimated at ~USD 36B (2025), projected to roughly double by 2030, making structured spec and pricing data increasingly valuable.
What the API returns
Response schema
Indicative — this is the shape, not a guarantee. Every source returns the same structure, so what you build against does not change when you add one. Which fields carry a value depends on the source and on the individual listing: a site that does not publish mileage returns null there, and CarDekho is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:

}Which sources you can actually query is answered by GET /apix/api/sources/ with your API key — it is the list your account can pull today, and it is the one to trust over any page on this site.
CarDekho’s variant-level spec and on-road-pricing fields are what make it especially valuable for price enrichment and residual-value modelling — the richest new-car reference data in India.
