Drom.ru Data Parser & API
Drom.ru is a major independent Russian car classifieds — around 22M visits per month and an estimated 1M+ listings — and Carapis can extract its full listing data, including spec, mileage, photos and dealer details, through one REST API. Especially strong in the Russian Far East and Siberia, Drom.ru is one of the four leading Russian auto verticals and a key source for right-hand-drive and import-heavy inventory.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Drom.ru 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 Drom.ru?
Drom.ru is an independent used- and new-car classifieds site in Russia, historically strongest in the Far East and Siberia where Japanese imports dominate. It carries private and dealer listings plus motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Drom.ru draws an estimated ~22M visits per month (Semrush, Jan 2026) with roughly 1M+ active listings.
Market Position
Drom.ru is one of the four major Russian auto verticals alongside Avito Auto, Auto.ru and AM.ru, with ~22M monthly visits (Semrush, Jan 2026, est.) and an estimated 1M+ listings. Its regional strength in the Far East/Siberia and import-heavy inventory make it complementary to the Moscow-centric portals. There is no clean public API and the site is JS-rendered with medium-to-high anti-bot — work Carapis absorbs so you receive clean structured data through one endpoint.
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 Drom.ru 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.
Drom’s import-heavy inventory makes its spec and mileage data valuable for tracking the right-hand-drive and Japanese-import segments.
