Cars24 (India) Data Parser & API
Cars24 is a leading online used-car dealer in India — an estimated ~5.6M monthly visits and “lakhs” of certified listings — and Carapis can extract its inventory, including certified-inspection reports and condition grades, through one REST API. As a full-stack online dealer (not a classifieds site), Cars24 attaches inspection checklists and condition grades to its certified cars — among the richest condition data in South Asia — and Carapis can serve it without you fighting its JS-heavy bot defences.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Cars24 (India) 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 Cars24?
Cars24 is an Indian online used-car marketplace and dealer that buys, inspects, certifies and resells vehicles. It also operates regionally (UAE, Australia). Unlike pure classifieds, Cars24 lists curated certified inventory with structured inspection data, and is part of India’s “used-car IPO pipeline” alongside CarDekho and Spinny. SimilarWeb/Semrush estimate ~5.6M monthly visits (2025).
Market Position
Cars24 is one of the major independent D2C online-dealers in India, competing with Spinny, Maruti True Value and Mahindra First Choice on certified used-car supply. It is reportedly in a ~$1B India used-car IPO pipeline (PL Capital) alongside CarDekho and Spinny. Because it certifies its own inventory, Cars24’s inspection reports and condition grades are among the closest South-Asian analogues to inspection-sheet richness — though not as granular as Korean Encar or Japanese auction sheets.
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 Cars24 (India) is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:
