OLX Autos México Data Parser & API
OLX Autos México wound down its instant-buy (buy-and-resell) operations on 14 June 2023, so it is no longer an active source of fresh car-listing data — for the Mexican market, Carapis instead delivers Kavak, MercadoLibre Autos and Seminuevos through one REST API. This page is kept for honesty and for buyers searching the OLX Autos name in Mexico.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl OLX Autos México 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 OLX Autos México?
OLX Autos México was the Mexican instant-buy used-car arm of OLX, owned by Prosus/Naspers. It bought cars directly from consumers and resold them, similar to Kavak’s model. As part of Prosus’s broader exit from the OLX Autos buy-and-resell business, it ceased purchasing operations on 14 June 2023. Any remaining OLX classifieds presence is a remnant, not an active instant-buy operation.
Market Position
OLX Autos México is effectively wound down. The OLX Autos instant-buy business exited Spanish-speaking Latin America in 2023, ceasing buy-operations in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia on the same date — only OLX’s classifieds business in Brazil remains relevant to parse. For Mexico’s active car market, the platforms to follow are Kavak (the dominant certified online dealer, born in Mexico, ~54% of Kavak’s global traffic), MercadoLibre Autos (the giant marketplace) and Seminuevos (the leading dedicated used-car portal). Because OLX Autos México no longer generates meaningful fresh inventory, Carapis prioritizes those live sources instead.
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 OLX Autos México 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.
OLX Autos México is no longer a live data source. Where any residual OLX classifieds inventory exists, the available fields are limited to basic identity and pricing — make, model, year, mileage, price and location. For full, current Mexican car data (spec, condition, dealer info, inspection), use the active platforms below.
API Quick Start
The same canonical Carapis endpoint serves every platform — point source at an active Mexican platform such as kavak or seminuevos instead of the wound-down OLX Autos México.
Python
import requests
resp = requests.get(
"https://api.carapis.com/v2/listings",
params={"source": "kavak", "limit": 20},
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"},
)
for car in resp.json()["results"]:
print(car["make"], car["model"], car["year"], car["price"])Get an API key at my.carapis.com and see the full API reference. Pricing is on the pricing page .
Use Cases
- Market research — for live Mexican car-market analysis, use Kavak, MercadoLibre Autos and Seminuevos instead. See market research.
- Pricing intelligence — current Mexican pricing comes from the active platforms, not OLX Autos. See dealers.
- Import / export — source live Mexican inventory from active sources. See import & export.
