CarExpert.com.au Data Parser & API
CarExpert.com.au is an independent Australian new-car news, reviews and deals portal with a vehicle-brokerage service — and Carapis can extract its new and used listing and pricing data through one REST API. Its focus on new-car deals and drive-away pricing makes it a useful source for benchmarking new-car offers across the Australian market.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl CarExpert.com.au 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 CarExpert.com.au?
CarExpert.com.au is an independent Australian automotive media site combining new-car news and reviews with a deals marketplace and brokerage service that connects buyers to dealer offers. It is not part of the carsales or Gumtree groups — it is an independent player focused on new-car pricing and deals, with some used-car coverage.
Market Position
CarExpert is a mid-tier independent portal in the Australian market (traffic estimated; no current published figure). Unlike the dominant carsales and Gumtree Group networks, CarExpert leads with editorial and a new-car deals/brokerage model rather than a large classifieds inventory. That makes its data most valuable for new-car deal and drive-away-price benchmarking rather than used-car volume.
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 CarExpert.com.au 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 drive-away deal pricing is CarExpert’s distinctive field — a clean signal for new-car price benchmarking that classifieds portals expose less consistently.
