What is Autobell?

Autobell is a Korean used-car marketplace carrying dealer stock with the structured data the Korean market expects: make, model, trim, year, mileage, price, and in many cases accident and ownership history. Its operator also runs autobellglobal.com, an export-facing wholesale auction channel that Carapis collects as a second source.

Market position

Korea is the strongest market in the Carapis catalogue — Encar, KCar, KB Chachacha, Bobaedream and Autohub are all collected. Autobell adds a mid-size retail feed at 4,470 of about 6,100 advertised listings, and uniquely pairs it with an auction channel on the same operator.

What a lot count means here

This page covers two source codes: autobell (retail listings) and autobell_auction (the autobellglobal.com export auction). Auction lots re-post by design, so a lot count is not a count of distinct vehicles. The auction channel is in a rebuild as of 1 October 2026 and is not currently returning available lots — ask us for its live state before relying on it.

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 Autobell is no exception.
