Riyapatuna Data Parser & API

Riyapatuna is a small Sri Lankan aggregator-style vehicle-classifieds site listing used and new car ads — and Carapis extracts its listing data, including price, mileage and seller info, through one REST API. A minor player in the Sri Lankan long tail behind ikman.lk and Riyasewana, Riyapatuna adds incremental supply coverage, and Carapis serves the data without you building a scraper.

What is Riyapatuna?

Riyapatuna is a small Sri Lankan vehicle-classifieds / aggregator site carrying used and new car ads. It sits in the long tail of the Sri Lankan market behind market-leader ikman.lk and #2 Riyasewana. Its data is listing-level and its traffic is small.

Market Position

Riyapatuna is a long-tail Sri Lankan classifieds source. The market is led by ikman.lk (~75% of auto-classifieds traffic) and Riyasewana (~24.5%), so Riyapatuna is best treated as supplementary coverage. Its aggregator-style listings and low anti-bot profile make it easy to include alongside the leaders for completeness.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Riyapatuna listing:

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

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