Our Market Data API streams live inventory counts, sold volumes, pricing trends, and velocity metrics from 60,000+ Dealer Rooftops across U.S.
Power your marketplace, analytics dashboard, or lending platform with the most current view of what’s actually happening on dealer lots right now.
Live Data, Not Batch Files
Real-time feeds replace stale CSV exports and weekly data dumps.
National + Local Granularity
Filter to metro markets or DMA-level segments for hyper-local pricing analysis.
Built for Platform Teams
Designed for technical integration – not dealer-facing dashboards.
Carketa’s Vehicle Valuation API is built around our proprietary Estimated Wholesale Value – a confidence-scored figure derived from actual wholesale lane transactions, live local comps, and real market supply/demand signals. It’s the number dealers trust when real money is on the line.
Unlike book-value providers that rely on lagging retail data, Carketa’s estimated wholesale value reflects what a vehicle will actually bring in a wholesale environment – giving your appraisal tools, lending models, and trade-in widgets a grounded, defensible number.
Carketa’s Estimated Wholesale Value
Proprietary valuation methodology built from real lane data and local market signals.
200+ Live Local Comps
Market-specific comps for true local retail conditions – not national averages.
Bid/Ask Spread Insight
See the average gap between wholesale and retail to model margin and risk.
Make/Model Ranking
Identify which trims are over- or under-valued in your target markets right now.
