Bikroy Data Parser & API
Bikroy is Bangladesh’s national classifieds leader for vehicles — drawing millions of visits a month, with 86% of car ads Toyota and 59% reconditioned imports — and Carapis extracts its listing data, including price, mileage, year and seller info, through one REST API. Acquired by Jiji (Africa’s largest classifieds group) in its first deal outside Africa, Bikroy is the de facto used-car channel in Bangladesh, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is Bikroy?
Bikroy is the leading general-classifieds platform in Bangladesh, with a heritage in Saltside Technologies and now owned by Jiji after its 2024-2025 acquisition. Its vehicles vertical covers used and new cars, reconditioned imports, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Per Bikroy’s own 2025 market report, 86% of car ads are Toyota, 59% are reconditioned, 40% used and 1% new — a strongly reconditioned-import-skewed market.
Market Position
Bikroy is the de facto national vehicle channel in Bangladesh; rival Carmudi exited South Asia years ago, leaving Bikroy without a direct large competitor. Its acquisition by Jiji marked Jiji’s first move outside Africa. The Bangladeshi auto market is recovering through 2025 after 2024 political unrest, and Bikroy’s reconditioned-import skew (heavy Toyota, 59% recond) makes its data particularly relevant for import/export tracking.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Bikroy vehicle listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage (self-reported), used/reconditioned/new condition flag
- Import context — registration year and reconditioned-import status
- Pricing — listed asking price
- Listing context — seller info, location, photo gallery
Bikroy is a classifieds source (listing-level fields, no VIN feed), but its reconditioned-import depth makes it the key window into Bangladesh’s car market.
