CarDekho Used Car Search API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/cardekho/v1/used-cars?city=new-delhi&make=maruti&model=swift&fuel=petrol&sort=price&sort_direction=asc

Search used cars on CarDekho India by city, make, model, price, year, kilometres, fuel, transmission, body type, owner and seats, with sort and pages. Every listing keeps all card fields: price against market price, kilometres, owner count, seller, images, EMI, trust tags and flags. The response carries the true total, the filter facets with counts and the sort list. CarDekho exposes one sliding window of cars, so pages overlap: window_overlap is true and clients should de-duplicate on used_car_sku_id.
