Carlist.my Data Parser & API
Carlist.my is Malaysia’s #1 car portal — around 170,000 active listings across used, new and recond vehicles — and Carapis can extract its full dealer inventory, including price, mileage, spec and dealer details, through one REST API. Owned by Carsome via iCar Asia, Carlist.my is part of a consolidated cluster of dominant national portals, so a single Carapis approach reaches several SEA markets at once.
On request — not in the live feed today. We do not continuously crawl Carlist.my 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 Carlist.my?
Carlist.my is the leading car marketplace in Malaysia, listing used, new and reconditioned (“recond”) vehicles from dealers nationwide. It carries the standard structured classified data — make, model, year, mileage, price, spec and dealer contact — at the largest scale of any Malaysian auto portal. It is owned by iCar Asia, which is in turn owned by Carsome Group.
Market Position
Carlist.my is Malaysia’s No.1 auto portal, with roughly 170K active listings. Its owner, Carsome (via iCar Asia), also controls One2car in Thailand, Mobil123 in Indonesia and Carmudi across PH/ID/VN — a single ownership cluster spanning the dominant national car portals of five SEA countries. This consolidation means the techniques used to structure Carlist.my data transfer directly to several other Carapis platforms in the region.
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 Carlist.my is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:
