Platforms we cover
Eight inventory sources in one inventory API — Auto1, OpenLane, Schadeautos, Copart DE, eCarsTrade, Encar, KB ChaChaCha and the Japanese auction houses — plus a European classifieds network of 681 retail portals across 39 countries, served as its own retail-price surface.
Auto1 Group
slug: auto1 · Europe · 30+ European countries
Europe’s largest digital wholesale B2B marketplace. TheCarApi normalizes stock numbers, multi-section inspection photos, damage items, equipment, and landed-style public EUR pricing for dealer-grade inventory.
Read /api/sites for the sources and counts available to your key. Refresh timing depends on the source and successful ingestion; these cards describe capabilities, not live service status.
Highlights
- Source-aware search and stored details
- Multi-section image galleries
- Normalized vehicle_details: structured damages, DAT equipment, paint measurements
- Strong buy-now coverage
- VIN read off the registration photos — Auto1 publishes none, so we OCR the paperwork

Sample public cards (Auto1)
scope: classifieds · 39 European countries · 681 origin portals
A retail price surface assembled from 681 national classifieds portals, dealer sites and manufacturer stock pages across 39 European countries — mobile.de, leboncoin.fr, autoscout24, lacentrale.fr, autosupermarket.it, njuskalo.hr and hundreds more — recorded as 9.8M listings in the 2026-08-18 coverage snapshot. Every listing keeps its origin portal, so the same feed answers both “what does a 2019 Golf ask for in Germany” and “what does it ask for on mobile.de specifically”. Use it as the market-reference layer next to auction inventory: what a car is actually listed for, by country, brand, seller type and portal.

- 681 named origin portals, filterable with source / source_exclude

Snapshot of active, non-promoted listings taken 2026-08-18; the figures move with every refresh. Only the largest portals are listed per country — the full vocabulary of 681 portals comes back from the sources facet on /api/classifieds/facets, and both source and source_exclude take a comma-separated, case-insensitive list of them on the listings feed.
