❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there an ikman.lk API? Do I need an API key?

ikman.lk has no public data API for this. This Actor works as an ikman.lk API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP: claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/ikman-scraper"

Why do I get only 10 ads?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

What does Details cost?

A small extra per ad whose page was read (see Pricing). Ads sold before their page was read are not saved and not charged.

Can I get only new ads every day?

Yes. Turn on "Only new ads", give the run a monitor name and schedule it.

Sinhala or Tamil?

Data is read from the English site; titles and descriptions stay as the seller wrote them.

"ikman offers no category with all of these filters"

Some filters exist only in some categories (transmission and body type only in Cars, bedrooms only in houses and apartments). Pick a category that has them, or remove one filter.

A filter was skipped for a category

The log lists the categories used. A parent category like Vehicles has no brand filter on ikman, so its subcategories that do are used instead.

Is this an official ikman.lk tool?

No. It is independent and not affiliated with ikman.lk. It reads only data ikman.lk publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with ikman.lk's terms and the laws that apply to you.
