About the Korean used car market

South Korea is one of the busiest used car export markets in the world. Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and imported cars leave Korean ports every week for Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Caucasus, and buyers abroad look for them on Korean sites.

Those sites are written in Korean and each one has its own layout: prices in units of 10,000 won (만원), model years like 20/05식, the performance check report (성능점검) and the insurance history (보험이력). Our API reads them and gives you plain numbers, dates and values.

One key covers every Korean site we collect, and a car listed on several of them arrives as one record with each price, so you can compare dealers without matching cars by hand.
