Webmotors Data Parser & API
Webmotors is Brazil’s #1 car portal — roughly 22-27M visits a month and 2M+ active listings — and Carapis can extract its full listing data, including deep vehicle spec, dealer info and signals from its proprietary used-car price index, through one REST API. Owned by CAR Group (~70%) with Santander (~30%), Webmotors anchors the largest car market in Latin America, so a single parser covers the whole of Brazil’s dominant marketplace.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Webmotors 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 Webmotors?
Webmotors is the leading car marketplace in Brazil, listing used, new, dealer and private vehicles. It is majority-owned by CAR Group (the parent of carsales.com.au, Encar and Chileautos), with Banco Santander holding around 30% after selling down a stake. In 2024 it launched a used-car price index, a data product that makes its pricing signals especially valuable. Webmotors draws an estimated ~22-27M visits/mo with 2M+ listings (SimilarWeb/Semrush, 2025).
Market Position
Webmotors is #1 in Brazil — the dominant national car market in Latin America — with ~22.5M visits/mo measured by Semrush (Feb 2025) and 2M+ live listings. Its owner, CAR Group, runs a single corporate data model across Australia (carsales), Korea (Encar), Chile (Chileautos) and Brazil (Webmotors), so techniques that structure Webmotors data transfer to those siblings. The Santander stake is part of Brazil’s distinctive bank-owned portal pattern (iCarros↔Itaú, Mobiauto↔Banco Pan), where lenders own the classifieds to own the financing. Webmotors’ standout asset is its proprietary used-car price index — a valuation signal few regional portals publish.
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 Webmotors 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 price index is what makes Webmotors uniquely valuable for valuation products: it is a market-pricing reference rather than just a single asking price.
