Marktplaats Data Parser & API
Marktplaats is the Netherlands’ dominant general classifieds site — with 1M+ unique car shoppers per month — and its heavy automotive volume is extracted by Carapis through one REST API. Part of the eBay-classifieds lineage now in the Adevinta/Prosus orbit, Marktplaats carries the richest private and dealer car inventory in the Dutch market, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is Marktplaats?
Marktplaats is the leading general-classifieds platform in the Netherlands, with a very large vehicles category spanning cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles from both private sellers and dealers. Descended from the eBay classifieds business and now in the Adevinta/Prosus orbit, it attracts 1M+ unique car shoppers per month, making it the dominant source of Dutch private-seller car data.
Market Position
Marktplaats is the Netherlands’ dominant classifieds destination, with 1M+ unique monthly car shoppers and a vehicles category that anchors the Dutch used-car market. Alongside dealer-focused portals such as AutoTrack and AutoScout24.nl, Marktplaats stands out for its private/C2C inventory — vehicles listed directly by owners — giving the fullest view of Dutch consumer-level supply and pricing.
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 Marktplaats is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:
