What is the Mercado de Cavalos API?

This API exposes 8 endpoints covering Brazil's primary horse trading marketplace, mercadodecavalos.com.br. You can search active for-sale listings by breed, price, age, and sex using search_horses_for_sale, retrieve full listing profiles via get_horse_details — including pedigree, photos, and seller location — and fetch seller phone and WhatsApp numbers through get_contact_info. Stallion coverings, embryo offerings, and editorial news articles are also accessible.

About the Mercado de Cavalos API

Horse Listing Search and Detail

search_horses_for_sale accepts filters for male, female, min_age, max_age, max_price, breed (numeric catalog ID — e.g. 9 for Crioulo, 10 for Quarto de Milha), and page. Note that the state filter is currently broken upstream and returns an HTTP 500 error; do not pass it. Each result object in the data array links to a listing via a ref_id and slug pair. Pass both to get_horse_details to retrieve the full record: name, price, seller, location, description, pedigree/lineage, and photos array.

Breeding and Genetic Listings

list_stallions_and_coverings returns paginated stallion records for breeders seeking coverage options. list_embryos_and_mares covers embryo and mare offerings; this endpoint may return an empty array when no listings are currently active on the source site, so callers should handle zero-result responses gracefully. Both endpoints accept a page parameter.

Featured Animals, Contact Info, and News

get_featured_animals returns the homepage spotlight animals — useful for tracking promoted listings over time. get_contact_info takes a ref_id from any listing and returns a contacts array containing the seller's phone and WhatsApp numbers. The list_news_articles endpoint paginates the site's editorial section ('Fique por Dentro'), returning article title, date, and url per item. Full article body, title, date, and URL are available via get_news_article using the ref_id and slug extracted from a news article URL.

Reliability & maintenanceVerified

The Mercado de Cavalos API is a managed, monitored endpoint for mercadodecavalos.com.br — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when mercadodecavalos.com.br changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.

This isn't an official mercadodecavalos.com.br API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Maintenance
Monitored & self-healing
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
It's built not to. Every endpoint is health-checked on a schedule with automated test probes. When the source site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified — that's the self-healing layer. Each API page shows when its endpoints were last verified. And because marketplace APIs are shared, any fix reaches everyone using it.
Is this an official API from the source site?+
No — Parse APIs are independent, managed REST wrappers over publicly available data. That is the point: where a site has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a maintained, monitored endpoint for that data and keeps it working as the site changes — so you get a stable contract over a source that never promised one.
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
Yes — and you don't have to wait on us. This API was generated by the Parse agent, which stays attached. Describe the change in plain English ("add an endpoint that returns reviews", "fix the price field") in the revise box on the API page or via the revise_api MCP tool, and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes. Contributing the change back to the public API is free.
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
Errors are machine-readable: a bad call returns a clean status with the list of available endpoints and a repair hint, so an agent (or you) can recover or trigger a fix instead of failing silently. Confirmed failures feed the automatic repair queue.
Common use cases
  • Build a price-tracking dashboard for Quarto de Milha and Crioulo horses using breed IDs in search_horses_for_sale.
  • Aggregate seller contact details across multiple listings with get_contact_info to build a breeder directory.
  • Monitor homepage featured animals via get_featured_animals to detect listing promotion patterns.
  • Compile pedigree and lineage data from get_horse_details for bloodline research tools.
  • Track stallion availability for breeding season planning using list_stallions_and_coverings.
  • Ingest news content from list_news_articles and get_news_article into a Brazilian equestrian industry feed.
  • Compare listing prices by age bracket using min_age, max_age, and max_price filters in bulk search jobs.

Frequently asked questions
Does Mercado de Cavalos offer an official developer API?+
Mercado de Cavalos does not publish a public developer API or documented data access program. This Parse API provides structured access to the site's listing and editorial data.
How does the breed filter work in `search_horses_for_sale`?+
The breed parameter accepts a numeric ID from the site's internal catalog. Documented values include 6 (Appaloosa), 7 (Árabe), 9 (Crioulo), and 10 (Quarto de Milha). Other breeds likely have IDs but are not currently enumerated in the endpoint spec.
Can I filter horse listings by Brazilian state?+
The state parameter is documented (e.g. 'SP', 'MG', 'RS') but is currently broken upstream — passing it causes an HTTP 500 error from the source. Omit it from requests. Regional filtering is not reliably available at this time. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to re-enable the state filter once the upstream issue is resolved.
Does the API cover auction listings or sold/expired horses?+
The API covers active for-sale listings, stallion coverings, embryos, and featured animals — all reflecting currently published content. Auction listings and historical or sold records are not currently exposed. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint targeting any auction section if one becomes available.
What data does `get_horse_details` return beyond the search listing summary?+
The detail endpoint returns a fuller record including the horse's description, pedigree/lineage tree, full photo array, seller name and location, and price — fields that are typically truncated or absent in the search_horses_for_sale result objects.
