Riyasewana Data Parser & API

Riyasewana is Sri Lanka’s #2 vehicle classifieds — around 2M monthly visits and roughly 24.5% of the auto-classifieds traffic behind ikman.lk — and Carapis extracts its listing data, including price, mileage and seller info, through one REST API. Established in 2009, Riyasewana spans cars, SUVs, vans, lorries, motorcycles and three-wheelers with a vehicle-history feature, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is Riyasewana?

Riyasewana (est. 2009) is a Sri Lankan vehicle-classifieds site and the #2 player behind ikman.lk. It covers a broad range of vehicle types — cars, SUVs, vans, lorries, motorcycles and three-wheelers — and offers a vehicle-history feature. SimilarWeb places it at roughly 24.5% of Sri Lankan auto-classifieds traffic (~2M visits/mo).

Market Position

Riyasewana is the clear #2 in Sri Lankan vehicle classifieds, complementing market-leader ikman.lk (~75% share). Its broad vehicle-type coverage — including lorries and three-wheelers — makes it useful for tracking commercial and utility-vehicle supply that the leader may under-represent. As classifieds it carries low anti-bot friction.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Riyasewana 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

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