Philkotse Data Parser & API
Philkotse is the Philippines’ #1 auto portal, carrying large used, new and dealer car inventory — and Carapis extracts its full listings, including price, mileage and spec, through one REST API. As the leading Philippine car site, Philkotse is the primary national inventory source, served without you building or maintaining a scraper.

What is Philkotse?
Philkotse (philkotse.com) is the leading car marketplace in the Philippines, listing used, new and dealer vehicles nationwide. It carries the standard structured classified data — make, model, year, mileage, price, condition and dealer contact — at the largest scale of any Philippine auto portal.
Market Position
Philkotse is the Philippines’ No.1 auto portal by traffic, with large national inventory across used, new and dealer vehicles. It leads the Philippine market ahead of AutoDeal (new-car/lead-gen focused) and the Carsome-owned Carmudi PH — making Philkotse the primary source for Philippine used-car data.
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 Philkotse is no exception.
List — GET /apix/api/vehicles/ — returns 30 fields per vehicle:
