}About the carousell.com.my API
The Carousell Malaysia API gives developers access to used vehicle listings across the platform through 2 endpoints. Use search_cars to query inventory by keyword or category and receive paginated results with pricing, seller details, and thumbnails, then call get_listing_details with a listing ID to retrieve full vehicle specifications including transmission type, body type, condition, mileage, and photo arrays.
Search Used Car Listings
The search_cars endpoint accepts a query string (e.g. 'Honda Jazz', 'Toyota Vios'), an optional category_id (use '32' to scope results to Cars for Sale), and a limit parameter tested up to 48 results per call. Each result object in the results array includes id, title, price, description, seller, photo_url, location, and likes_count. The total field returns a formatted count string such as '1,000+', and has_more signals whether additional pages exist.
Retrieve Listing Details
Passing a listing_id (obtained from search_cars results) to get_listing_details returns a single data object with the full listing record. This includes price, currency, condition, description, time_created, likes_count, location_name, photos (an array of image URLs), and vehicle-specific attributes such as transmission and body_type. The seller profile is also embedded in this response.
Coverage and Pagination
Listings are sorted by recency in search_cars, making the endpoint suitable for monitoring newly posted inventory. Because the API returns a has_more boolean, callers can implement polling loops to page through large result sets. The listing_id field in search results maps directly to the listing_id input of get_listing_details, so enriching a result set with full specs requires one additional call per listing.
