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 can extract 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 can serve it without you building a scraper.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Bikroy 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 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.
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 Bikroy is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:

}Which sources you can actually query is answered by GET /apix/api/sources/ with your API key — it is the list your account can pull today, and it is the one to trust over any page on this site.
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.
