Patiotuerca Data Parser & API
Patiotuerca is Ecuador’s leading used-car portal — known for inspected vehicles and an Andean regional footprint — and Carapis can extract its full listing data, including make, model, year, mileage, price, inspection status and dealer info, through one REST API. It is the single best source for Ecuadorian car-listing data.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Patiotuerca 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 Patiotuerca?
Patiotuerca (ecuador.patiotuerca.com) is the leading car marketplace in Ecuador, listing used and new vehicles, with a presence across the wider Andean region. It is known for surfacing inspected vehicles, giving its listings a condition signal beyond a plain asking price.
Market Position
Patiotuerca is the clear per-country leader in Ecuador, with an Andean footprint that extends its reach beyond a single market. Like NeoAuto in Peru, it is the dominant national portal in a smaller Andean market with relatively low anti-bot, giving good breadth-per-parser value. Its inspected-vehicle tagging is a useful differentiator in a region where structured condition data is scarce.
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 Patiotuerca 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 inspection-status tag is Patiotuerca’s standout signal — a condition marker that most regional classifieds don’t expose.
