3 active endpoints. Every call is 2 credits.
- POST/kavak/v1/search
- POST/kavak/v1/detail

What Kavak endpoints does ReefAPI ship?
3 live read endpoints. Read-only data API: no writes, no account actions, no dashboard access on the target site.
Kavak API
2 of 3 endpoints, ready to run
Filter one country's Kavak stock and get 30 cars a page with the printed price and its kind, the Mexican monthly payment, mileage, gearbox, colour, region, reservation status and photo, plus Kavak's own total.
// Press "Try it" and this pane shows exactly what the // live site returned this second — including an empty // result, if that is the truth. No key, no account.
How the Kavak API works
Kavak is a normal ReefAPI surface — the same four rules that hold for every other engine on the key.
No OAuth app, no request signing, no per-site account. One key covers all 491 engines.
Every route is a POST with a JSON body. Parameters are validated against the published schema before anything is charged.
Credits, not seats. Failed and blocked calls are never charged, and cache hits cost nothing.
One envelope everywhere. meta carries latency_ms, record_count and the endpoint that answered.
Compare the real cost of a car paid in cash and on Kavak credit
Kavak's cards print the credit price, which is usually lower than the cash price. detail gives both with the service fee, so you can rank cars on what a buyer actually pays.
Each row carries the printed price, price_kind and the monthly payment.
price_cash, price_financed, service_fee_cash, total_cash, total_financed and initial_down_payment.
30 cars a page; a page past the last returns no rows.

}The prices Kavak publishes on each car
A Kavak car carries up to two prices and a fee. The API returns each under its own name; the examples are cars measured on 2026-10-14.
| Field | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| price + price_kind | The number the search card prints, and whether it is the Kavak-credit ('Precio desde') or the cash price | 189,999 MXN, from_financed (2024 Dodge Attitude) |
| price_cash / price_financed | Cash price and Kavak-credit price, side by side (detail) | 191,999 / 189,999 MXN |
| service_fee_cash / total_cash | Kavak's service fee and the total for each way of paying (Mexico) | 9,600 + 191,999 = 201,599 MXN |
| initial_down_payment | The down payment Kavak's credit simulator opens with (Mexico) | 142,499 MXN |
| monthly_payment | The monthly payment the Mexican card prints | 3,855 MXN / month |
| promotion_price | Argentina's 'Precio financiando 50%' price, next to the cash price | 17,550,538 vs 17,769,538 ARS |
| seller | The Kavak branch holding the car, with address and map coordinates | Kavak Tigre, Provincia de Buenos Aires |
Kavak's search cards mostly print the credit price, which in Mexico was below the cash price on 99 of 100 cars in Kavak's own feed (up to 8.9 % lower). Use price_kind on search rows, or price_cash and price_financed on detail, before comparing cars. The price excludes Kavak's service fee in Mexico.
What was measured on 2026-10-14
Two live runs on the same code, each running 12 to 16 filtered searches per country against an unfiltered one, all six sort orders, the last page and one past it, and opening 8 cars per country in full.
Mexico (MXN), Argentina (ARS), Chile (CLP); one country per call
8,437 to 8,438 cars in Mexico, 1,373 to 1,375 in Argentina, 1,208 to 1,215 in Chile, all sold by Kavak itself
30, with Kavak's own total; a page past the last returns no rows
Mexican cash and credit prices matched Kavak's own per-car feed on 7 of 7 cars in each run; the search card price matched detail on 24 of 24 cars opened per run (8 per country)
Credit ('desde') price on 481 of 514 Mexican rows, 225 of 368 Argentine and 321 of 356 Chilean; cash on 2, 109 and 1; reserved cars print no label
Median 1.2 seconds for search and 1.3 seconds for detail; the slowest of 200 successful calls took 2.9 seconds
Number plate, owner count, service history; no service fee or monthly payment in Argentina and Chile
What people build with Kavak
The jobs this data is most often used for.
endpoints
credits per call
Used-car dealers in Mexico, Argentina and Chile price their stock against a fixed-price retailer's live cash and credit prices by make, model, year and mileage.
Lenders and fintechs compare Kavak's credit price, cash price, service fee and down payment car by car.
Market analysts track how much stock Kavak holds per country, region, make and fuel, and how fast Argentine prices are revised.
Buyer apps show a car's VIN, engine, equipment, imperfection photos and the branch's map location next to both prices.

The questions people actually ask before wiring up Kavak.
Get a free key →What does the Kavak API cover?▾
The used cars Kavak sells from its own stock in Mexico (8,437 to 8,438 cars on 2026-10-14, 58 makes, 23 regions), Argentina (1,373 to 1,375 cars, 29 makes, Buenos Aires) and Chile (1,208 to 1,215 cars, 63 makes, Santiago). Kavak closed Colombia and Peru in 2024, so those are not covered. Each call covers one country.
Which price do I get?▾
search returns the number the card prints with price_kind: from_financed when the card says 'Precio desde' (the Kavak-credit price), cash when it says 'Precio de contado'. detail returns price_cash and price_financed separately, plus the service fee and total of each in Mexico. Prices are in MXN, ARS or CLP and the currency is a field on every row.
Are Argentine prices up to date?▾
They are what Kavak publishes at the moment of the call. Kavak Argentina reprices its stock against inflation, so a stored ARS price ages within weeks; call again rather than caching.
Who is the seller?▾
Kavak itself on every car. detail names the Kavak branch that holds the car with its address and map coordinates.
Do the filters really filter?▾
Each was compared with an unfiltered search of the same country in the same run (8,438 / 1,373 to 1,375 / 1,208 cars). Mexico: Nissan 800, Nissan Versa 219, Mexico City region 5,266, diesel 43, manual 1,536, pickup 295, red 947, 4x4 1,070, reserved 2,485, 7 seats 593, 200,000-300,000 MXN 3,345, model year 2023-2024 2,383, up to 20,000 km 1,100. Argentina: Toyota 152, Hilux 13, diesel 89, manual 757 to 758, front-wheel drive 1,249 to 1,250, reserved 458 to 459. Chile: Toyota 43, diesel 118, manual 537, red 100, reserved 185. Every row checked matched its filter, in two runs, except one Argentine price-range row whose promotion price sat just below the range (Kavak filters on the price before the promotion). Values Kavak would silently ignore are refused instead.
How many results can one search return?▾
30 cars a page, with Kavak's own total, last_page and has_more; Mexico's stock fills 282 pages. A page past the last one comes back empty instead of repeating a page.
How do I open one car in full?▾
Take id and country from a search row (for example 554699 and mx) and call detail, or pass the row's url. A car that has been sold or withdrawn returns NOT_FOUND; a reserved car still opens, with status reserved.
What does Kavak not publish?▾
Number plate, owner count and service history are not on these pages. Argentina and Chile print no service fee and no monthly payment. Search rows carry no fuel, engine or VIN; those are on detail.
What is the Kavak API?▾
Kavak API is a ReefAPI endpoint group for kavak's inspected used cars in mexico, argentina and chile as json: cash and credit price, service fee, mileage, branch and vin. It returns live JSON through POST requests under /kavak/v1.
Is the Kavak API free to try?▾
Yes. ReefAPI starts with 1,000 free credits, no card required. Kavak calls use the same shared credit balance as every other ReefAPI engine.
Do I need a Kavak login or account?▾
No login to Kavak is needed for the API response. You call ReefAPI with your x-api-key header, and the playground can run live examples before you create a production key.
How fresh is the Kavak data?▾
The page example is captured from a live search call, and production requests fetch live data through ReefAPI rather than a static sample.
How many credits does the Kavak API use?▾
Kavak actions currently cost 2 credits per successful call. Failed or blocked calls are free. All APIs draw from one credit pool.
Can I call Kavak from an AI assistant or MCP client?▾
Yes. Connect ReefAPI once through MCP and your assistant can call kavak actions with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope used by normal REST requests.
107 Classifieds & Second-hand APIs on the same key
One key, one credit pool, one response envelope. If you are pulling Kavak, you are one call away from the rest of the category — no second contract, no second integration.
Need something this API does not do?
Name the endpoint, the field, or a source we do not carry yet. We ship new APIs every week and you would be first to get the key. Real people read every message and reply the same day.
Try it on your own data before you pay anything
The call above is the real endpoint, not a recording. A free key gives you 1,000 credits, the other 490 APIs, and the same envelope everywhere.
Endpoints, parameters and credit costs on this page are read from the live catalog and cannot drift from what the API accepts. Field notes were captured on 2026-10-14.
