Kolesa.kz Data Parser & API
Kolesa.kz is Kazakhstan’s #1 car marketplace — around 5-7M visits per month across 1M+ ads — and Carapis can extract its full listing data, including spec, mileage, photos and dealer details, through one REST API. A near-monopoly in Kazakhstan and now ~40%-backed by fintech giant Kaspi.kz, Kolesa carries the richest car dataset in Central Asia.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Kolesa.kz right now. Activation takes 2–3 weeks of engineering and is quoted per source, because each one ships with dedicated proxies, anti-bot tuning and ongoing maintenance. Ask us to add it.

What is Kolesa.kz?
Kolesa.kz is the dominant car classifieds and portal in Kazakhstan, run by Kolesa Group. It carries dealer and private listings plus motorcycles, drawing on a strong app-driven dataset. Kolesa.kz sees ~5-7M visits per month (SimilarWeb, Nov 2025) with a self-reported 1M+ active ads.
Market Position
Kolesa.kz is effectively a monopoly in Kazakhstan with ~5-7M monthly visits (SimilarWeb, Nov 2025) and 1M+ ads. Its position strengthened when Kaspi.kz acquired 40% of Kolesa Group in 2023 ($88.5M) — fintech and e-commerce capital behind the classifieds leader, which is expanding its dataset. There is no official public API (unofficial app endpoints exist) and anti-bot is moderate — work Carapis absorbs to serve the data through one unified endpoint.
What the API returns
Response schema
Indicative — this is the shape, not a guarantee. Every source returns the same structure, so what you build against does not change when you add one. Which fields carry a value depends on the source and on the individual listing: a site that does not publish mileage returns null there, and Kolesa.kz is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:
