PatPat.lk Data Parser & API

PatPat.lk is a Sri Lankan vehicle-classifieds site carrying around 13K vehicle listings — and Carapis extracts its listing data, including price, mileage, year and seller info, through one REST API. PatPat sits in the Sri Lankan long tail behind ikman.lk and Riyasewana, covering used and new cars and motorcycles, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is PatPat.lk?

PatPat.lk is a Sri Lankan classifieds platform with a vehicles vertical of around 13K listings spanning used and new cars and motorcycles. It is a secondary source behind market-leader ikman.lk and #2 Riyasewana, useful as additional coverage for the Sri Lankan market.

Market Position

PatPat.lk is part of the Sri Lankan classifieds long tail, behind ikman.lk (~75% share) and Riyasewana (~24.5%). With ~13K vehicle listings it adds incremental supply coverage, and its low anti-bot profile makes it easy to include. Combined with ikman.lk and Riyasewana, PatPat helps build a fuller picture of Sri Lankan vehicle supply.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each PatPat.lk listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year, body type, fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage (self-reported)
• Pricing — listed asking price
• Listing context — seller info, location, photo gallery

PatPat.lk is a classifieds source (listing-level fields, no VIN feed), best used alongside ikman.lk and Riyasewana for fuller Sri Lankan coverage.
