Clutch Data Parser & API
Clutch is Canada’s leading online-only used-car retailer — an estimated 1.8M visits per month across thousands of reconditioned vehicles in stock — and Carapis can extract its full own-inventory listing data, including fixed pricing, condition and history reports, through one REST API. Clutch sells its own reconditioned inventory with fixed prices, giving clean, standardized structured data — delivered without you building or maintaining a scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Clutch 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 Clutch?
Clutch (clutch.ca) is a Canadian online-only used-car retailer, the Canadian counterpart to US players like Carvana and CarMax. It sells its own reconditioned inventory with fixed, no-haggle online pricing and per-vehicle history reports. Traffic is estimated at ~1.8M visits per month (2025) across thousands of vehicles in stock. Because every car is Clutch’s own inventory, listings are highly standardized.
Market Position
Clutch draws an estimated 1.8M visits per month (2025), making it the leading online-only used-car retailer in Canada — smaller than the marketplaces (AutoTrader.ca, Kijiji) but the clean own-inventory benchmark for the market. Its data is single-seller: uniform and high-quality but scoped to Clutch inventory only. As an online retailer with fixed pricing, it provides a reliable reference point for Canadian retail used-car prices.
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 Clutch 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 standardized own-inventory format makes Clutch data unusually clean for benchmarking Canadian retail used-car pricing.
