Mango Car API: Korean Export Listings from mangoworldcar.com as JSON

Mango Car, an export marketplace

Mango Car presents itself as a trading platform where overseas buyers find cars from verified Korean sellers, with inspection, photography, port storage and shipping offered around the listing. The listings carry prices, so in KoreaCarsAPI it is a marketplace source with is_auction=false.

KoreaCarsAPI is an independent data service and is not affiliated with Mango Car. It returns listing data only: purchases, payment and shipping stay between the buyer and the platform.

Who uses Mango Car data

Export listings are useful to anyone who sells or plans Korean cars abroad.

• Importers who compare export stock with the domestic marketplaces before they buy.
• Dealers abroad who show Korean stock on their own site, with the photos and specs of the source.
• Analysts who follow which models Korean sellers offer to foreign buyers.
• Developers who feed one catalogue from several Korean export sites.

What comes back for a Mango Car listing

Each record has a vehicle part, with year, brand, model, generation, trim, engine volume, fuel, transmission, body type, colour and options, and a listing part, with the Mango Car URL, title, odometer, price with currency, photos and the created_at, updated_at and last_seen_at dates. Prices keep a dated history.

Mango Car describes an inspection of 35 major items by a diagnostic expert. Where an inspection or history report is public for a car, it comes back in inspections[] and vehicle_history_reports[]. Where none is published, the condition is unknown from the data: a missing report never means a clean history.

Which fields are filled depends on what the listing shows. Build your import so that a missing value stays empty instead of turning into zero.

Exporting Mango Car listings

Use GET /cars with is_auction=false and the Mango Car entry in domains[]. Follow next_url until it is empty to read the whole source, then repeat the export on a schedule and update your copy by the listing URL.

last_seen_at tells you when a listing was last found on the source. A car that stops showing up has usually been sold or withdrawn, so mark it as inactive in your catalogue rather than deleting it, and keep its price history.

Practical tips for export listings

A few habits keep an export catalogue honest.

• Compare a Mango Car price with the same generation, trim, year and mileage band on Encar or KB ChaChaCha, not with the model alone.
• Show the source's own photos and link back to the listing, so buyers see the original.
• Keep the inspection data next to the car, and say clearly when there is none.
• Check a VIN with the reports endpoints before you rely on a car's history.
• Store prices with their currency and date, since export prices can move with the exchange rate.

Mango Car among the other Korean sources

Mango Car belongs with the export and trade marketplaces: Autowini, Autobell Global, Sena Auto, Carpool KR, RB Auto Trade and KS Cars. All of them come back in the same record format as Encar, so one import covers them together.

For price context, the domestic marketplaces such as Encar, KB ChaChaCha and K Car show what the same models ask inside Korea, and the dealer auctions come back with is_auction=true and lot data.
