Search ikman.lk classifieds. Needs at least one of `query` (keywords), `category` (a numeric id from the `categories` action) or `location` (a numeric id from the `locations` action); any combination also works, and `listing_type`, `sort`, `order` and `page` narrow or reorder it. Every response also carries `catalogue_counts` — the source's live totals per category, city and offer type. 🔴 They follow the id filters (`category`, `location`, `listing_type`) and IGNORE `query`: measured, `query=toyota` (10 465 matches) still reported 89 274 for category 391, while `category=392` reported 6 732 for Colombo, which is the real Cars-in-Colombo figure. So they size a category or district, they do not split your keyword result. 🔴 Page size is fixed by the source at 25 and no override is accepted; a full page measured 25 or 26 rows because the source adds a paid insert at the top. The source reports more pages than it serves, so `reachable_results` caps at 10 000 per query however large `total_results` is.

What you can run here, without an account

ReefAPI is one HTTP gateway to 438 live web-data APIs covering 2778 endpoints across 14 categories. Every endpoint answers with the same JSON envelope, so one integration reaches all of them. Each response reports what it cost and when the source was read.

No signup, no API key and no card are required to try an endpoint on this page. Anonymous calls run on a shared demo key, capped at 15 calls per hour per visitor. Pick an API, fill the parameters and the real response comes back from the live source, not from a canned sample. A free account lifts the cap and gives you 1,000 credits and your own key.

Browse every API in the catalog, read an endpoint's fields and example response in the docs, or see per-call credit costs on the pricing page.
