8891 Data Parser & API
8891 is Taiwan’s largest automotive marketplace — “全台最大” (largest in Taiwan), with over 1 million cars sold cumulatively — covering used cars, new cars, dealer inventory and motorcycles, and Carapis can extract its full listing data through one REST API. As the dominant single-country portal in Taiwan, 8891 carries the deepest Taiwanese vehicle inventory, served by Carapis without you building a JavaScript-heavy scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl 8891 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 8891?
8891 (8891汽車, auto.8891.com.tw) is the leading vehicle marketplace in Taiwan, part of a multi-vertical platform that also covers property and motorcycles. Its automotive section markets itself as the largest in Taiwan (“全台最大”) and has facilitated over 1 million cumulative used-car sales. It aggregates both dealer and private-seller inventory across cars, new vehicles and motorcycles, with structured price, spec and condition fields per listing.
Market Position
8891 is the dominant automotive marketplace in Taiwan — a relatively underserved single-country market — claiming the “largest in Taiwan” position with 1M+ cumulative used-car sales. Because Taiwan’s online-car landscape is consolidated around a small number of portals, a single 8891 parser captures the bulk of the addressable Taiwanese inventory. Its multi-vertical breadth (autos + motorcycles) also makes it a strong source for the Taiwanese two-wheeler market, which is unusually large.
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 8891 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.
8891’s distinctive value is its combination of dominant Taiwanese car coverage with a large motorcycle vertical — a one-stop source for the Taiwanese vehicle market that no single rival matches on breadth.
