Carvana Data Parser & API
Carvana is a major US online used-car retailer — an estimated 25-30M visits per month across ~40K+ vehicles in stock — and Carapis can extract its full own-inventory listing data, including 360° spin photos, reconditioning notes and free CARFAX history, through one REST API. After a near-collapse in 2022, Carvana recovered to the S&P 500 by 2025; it sells only its own reconditioned inventory, giving clean, standardized structured data — delivered without you building or maintaining a PerimeterX/HUMAN-protected scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Carvana 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 Carvana?
Carvana is an independent US online-only used-car retailer known for its “car vending machine” delivery model. It sells its own reconditioned inventory with fixed online pricing, 360° interior/exterior spins and a free CARFAX report per car. Traffic is estimated at ~25-30M visits per month (recovered through 2025) across roughly 40K+ vehicles in stock — a dramatic rebound after its 2022 near-bankruptcy.
Market Position
Carvana draws an estimated 25-30M visits per month (recovered 2025) across ~40K+ listed vehicles, making it one of the two dominant US online used-car retailers alongside CarMax. Its data is single-seller — uniform and high-quality but scoped to Carvana’s own inventory rather than a multi-dealer marketplace. Its standardized 360° photography and free CARFAX make it a clean reference point for online retail used-car pricing.
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 Carvana 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.
The 360° imagery and free CARFAX make Carvana data uniquely complete for a single-seller source.
