ZigWheels Data Parser & API

ZigWheels is a car-and-bike research portal in the CarDekho Group — sharing CarDekho’s deep new-car specification and on-road-pricing database — and Carapis can extract its spec, pricing and review data through one REST API. Acquired by the CarDekho Group (Girnar Software) in 2015, ZigWheels carries variant-level specs and city pricing for both cars and two-wheelers, and Carapis can serve it without you building a scraper.

On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl ZigWheels 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 ZigWheels?

ZigWheels is an Indian automobile research portal covering new and used cars plus motorcycles, owned by the CarDekho Group since 2015. It shares the group’s spec/price moat — variant-level technical specifications, city-wise on-road pricing, and expert/owner reviews. Its traffic is reported jointly with CarDekho rather than separately.

Market Position

ZigWheels sits inside the CarDekho Group (Girnar Software), which also owns CarDekho, BikeDekho, Gaadi.com, PowerDrift and InsuranceDekho. This consolidation means ZigWheels draws on the deepest structured new-car spec database in India. Together with CarDekho, it is the spec-and-pricing pillar of one of the country’s two dominant auto groups (the other being CarTrade Tech). Parsing ZigWheels and CarDekho together gives full CarDekho-group spec coverage.

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 ZigWheels is no exception.

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.

ZigWheels’ variant-level specs and on-road pricing make it valuable for spec enrichment and pricing models across both cars and motorcycles.
