Autofact Data Parser & API
Autofact is Chile’s CARFAX-style vehicle-history service — pairing used-car listings with detailed history and accident records — and Carapis can extract its data, including history, accident and owner fields, through one REST API. In a region where structured condition data is scarce, Autofact’s history reports are one of the richest sources of accident/history fields in Latin America.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Autofact 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 Autofact?
Autofact (autofact.cl) is a Chilean vehicle-history service — the closest thing Chile has to a CARFAX — that generates structured history reports for used cars and also surfaces used-car listings. Its reports cover prior incidents, ownership and other history that ordinary classifieds don’t provide, making it a data-rich source for condition and provenance.
Market Position
Autofact fills a region-wide gap: outside of online-dealers like Kavak, Latin America has little public VIN-history or inspection-sheet data — and Autofact is one of the few services that generates it itself. As Chile’s CARFAX-style history provider, it complements the listing depth of Chileautos and Yapo.cl with the accident and history fields they lack, making it valuable for condition-aware pricing and vetting.
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 Autofact 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 history and accident fields are Autofact’s distinctive value — among the richest structured condition/provenance data available in the region.
