Contact me for a quote if you want to buy custom selection of columns, makes, years, or body type. Custom subsets won’t let you download updates unless you ask me to send you updates, but are good for one-time use, for example to decide what used car to buy, or academic project.

List of updates

A lot of people asked me for a JDM car database, but I was facing trouble because most websites from Japan are in Japanese language while they needed English specifications. In March 2019 a customer told me about one Japanese website in English and after this I found 3 more similar websites, I choose the best one, coded a scraper and published database for sale in April 2019.

Note: sales of Japan database been lower than expected. I do scrap makes to get models URLs (takes 2 minutes) then scrap models to get versions URL (takes 40 minutes), so I can monitor how many cars are added. I do scrap versions details (which takes 22 hours) ONLY WHEN someone purchase this database and/or ask an update.
