The Korean used car market, as an API
South Korea exports more used cars every year, and almost all of that supply sits on Korean-language marketplaces that were never built for foreign buyers. This API is the layer in between.
Built for the import business
An importer's website lives or dies on whether its stock page is current. Running that page off a nightly CSV means showing cars that sold yesterday, and showing a sold car costs you the enquiry and the trust behind it. This API is read at request time, so your stock page is as current as the moment the visitor loaded it.
Korean fields, translated
Manufacturer, model group, model, badge and fuel type all come back in the Korean source form and again in a de / en block you can render directly. Your German customer reads Diesel and Allradantrieb, not a Hangul string their browser renders as boxes.
Prices in money people recognise
Encar quotes prices in units of 10,000 KRW, which is the single most common integration bug we see: a 4339 rendered as €4,339 instead of roughly €29,070. The field is documented, and the priceFrom and priceTo filters take plain EUR and are converted for you.
Where the car physically is
Every listing carries the Korean region the vehicle stands in, which decides your inland haulage to Incheon or Busan and therefore your quote. It is in the response, not something you call to ask.
Who runs on it
Three importers in three markets serve their public inventory from this API. Each one is a working, visitable site, not a logo.
Public stock listings and vehicle detail pages, filtered to what their Belarusian buyers import.

This is the page people land on when they search for the Encar API, so it answers the question directly, before anything else.
The data comes from a Korean source, so four of these fields are read wrong by default. Each one fails silently — your page renders, it is simply incorrect.
Not logos. Three live businesses importing Korean cars into three different markets, each serving its public inventory from these endpoints.
