# TheCarApi

> A REST API for European and overseas vehicle auction inventory. One normalized schema over eight
> auction sources — Auto1, OpenLane, Schadeautos, Copart Germany, Encar, KB ChaChaCha, and the
> Japanese auction houses — plus a separate European retail classifieds feed. Country and portal coverage
> figures on the website are a dated snapshot, not live inventory counts.

TheCarApi provides normalized vehicle search, source-aware listing detail, CDN-hosted
image galleries, catalog and facet navigation, auction price history, market
reference pricing, and a landed-cost import calculator. Vehicles are addressed by the
stable pair `site_name/auction_id_str` (for example `encar/38112900`). Authentication is
via an `X-API-Key` header or `Authorization: Bearer`. Endpoint, source and field permissions are granted independently for each key.
Archive and other optional routes require their own grants.

TheCarApi is a data and inventory API. It does not provide bidding accounts or purchase
rights on any source platform.

## API documentation

- [Getting started](https://thecarapi.com/docs): What the API serves, the two datasets it exposes, the shape of a request, and a first call you can paste into a terminal.
- [Authentication & scopes](https://thecarapi.com/docs/authentication): Three interchangeable ways to present a key, the restrictions a key can carry, and the scope groups that gate each endpoint.
- [Responses & pagination](https://thecarapi.com/docs/conventions): The response envelope, caching and conditional requests, compression, pagination aliases, and rate-limit headers.
- [Errors & limits](https://thecarapi.com/docs/errors): Status codes, the error body shape, and which failures are worth retrying.
- [Sources & site slugs](https://thecarapi.com/docs/sources): The `site` slug vocabulary, what each source publishes, and why the classifieds network is not one of them.
- [Fields by source](https://thecarapi.com/docs/fields-by-source): What each supported inventory source actually publishes — the condition-data coverage matrix, the source-specific traps, and how to write code that survives the differences.
- [CO2 & emissions](https://thecarapi.com/docs/co2): The difference between the measured and estimated CO2 fields, the NEDC/WLTP split that makes a standard tag mandatory, which sources publish a figure, and how to render it without overclaiming.
- [Live prices](https://thecarapi.com/docs/live-prices): Cycle prices versus the at-request bid read on running auctions, and how to read `live_price` and `live_price_pending`.
- [Data dictionary](https://thecarapi.com/docs/schema): Search card and auction detail field lists, the normalized `vehicle_details` block, per-source coverage, and what is never exposed.
- [Search & discovery](https://thecarapi.com/docs/search): Search live auction inventory, then resolve lightweight full-text matches. Only live lots are returned. include_ended=true also shows lots whose clock has run out but that have not been archived yet; finished auctions are searched with /api/archive/search.
- [Filter facets](https://thecarapi.com/docs/facets): Discover live filter values and counts. Every facet endpoint accepts the search filters, so a facet describes whatever slice of inventory you are looking at rather than the whole of it — each dimension ignoring only its own filter, so a user can switch brands without the option disappearing. Counts and the totals /api/search reports for the same filters cannot disagree. Facet responses cache for about 600 seconds, and a filter sidebar can read every flat dimension in one call with /api/facets.
- [Catalog](https://thecarapi.com/docs/catalog): Build slug-addressable manufacturer and model-group navigation. All catalog list routes paginate with a default limit of 50 and are capped at offset 5000 — a deeper page is a 400 naming the limit. They carry page, page_size and max_page.
- [Auctions & history](https://thecarapi.com/docs/auctions): Retrieve source-aware listing detail, galleries, price changes, and VIN history. A running openlane auction has its bid read from the auction house at the moment you request the detail — nothing needs to be passed to enable it. Every other listing is served at its cycle price, refreshed by the scheduled ingestion pipeline.
- [Historical inventory](https://thecarapi.com/docs/archive): Ended listings moved into the archive, separate from ended rows still in the live table. Requires the archive scope. A last observed price is not a confirmed sale price.
- [Vehicle details](https://thecarapi.com/docs/car-details): Fetch a full source payload from cache or, when needed, from the upstream source.
- [Top offers](https://thecarapi.com/docs/top-offers): Live auctions our pipeline judged to be priced below their market reference. Same deals as /api/search?sort=top_offers, but each card additionally carries the reference the verdict was made against.
- [European classifieds](https://thecarapi.com/docs/theparking): A retail price surface of 9.8M listings in the 2026-08-18 coverage snapshot gathered from 681 origin portals — national classifieds sites, dealer groups and manufacturer stock pages — across 39 European countries: mobile.de, kleinanzeigen.de, autoscout24, leboncoin.fr, lacentrale.fr, autosupermarket.it, njuskalo.hr and hundreds more. Every listing keeps its origin portal in source_site, so the same feed answers a national question and a portal-level one. These are retail listings, not auction inventory: no bidding, no auction end date, no detail payload and no gallery, just a single remote thumbnail per listing. They live in their own tables with their own vocabulary (seller type, origin portal), which is why they get their own query surface instead of a site slug on /api/search. Ended and paid-placement ("promoted") rows are excluded from every response, and all three endpoints return 503 while the dataset has not been built yet. Scope: classifieds. Legacy /api/theparking/* paths and theparking grants remain compatible aliases.
- [Market intelligence](https://thecarapi.com/docs/market): What a car is worth, and the price snapshots behind it. /api/market/valuation answers for a make and model worldwide and per country, from retail, auction, unsold and buy-now prices, with trends, time to sell and a price model’s estimate. The two snapshots cover a brand, model and year window — one for the Bulgarian retail market, one for our own auction inventory. Scope: market, granted per contract; none of the three is enabled on a new key by default. All three are read-only lookups into data built nightly or on the pipeline’s own schedule. On the two snapshots a 404 means "no snapshot exists for that window", the normal answer for a thin brand/model/year combination — not an error to retry — and neither snapshot route carries envelope metadata; read X-Request-ID from the header.
- [Ship tracking](https://thecarapi.com/docs/ships): Find any vessel and follow its position, voyage and route, and register your own shipments by tracking, B/L or container number so their vessel is followed for you. Scope: ships, granted per contract — not on a new key by default. Shipments are scoped to the key that registered them.
- [Vehicle watches](https://thecarapi.com/docs/watches): Saved vehicle searches matched against every auction source your key can use and, if it has classifieds, the European classifieds — scanned every 10 minutes, with new matches delivered by polling or a signed webhook. Scope: watches. Granted per contract — not on a new key by default. Up to 10 criteria per watch and 25 active watches per key.
- [CarValue](https://thecarapi.com/docs/carvalue): The CarValue tool over the API: value a car by VIN or by make and model, and read a VIN from a photo. Scope: carvalue, granted per contract, and the key’s account must also be granted CarValue.
- [Vehicle Scan](https://thecarapi.com/docs/vehiclescan): The Vehicle Scan tool over the API: saved vehicle requests and the auction and classifieds offers that match them. These are the same requests the account sees in the portal. Scope: vehiclescan, granted per contract, and the key’s account must also be granted Vehicle Scan.
- [Import calculator](https://thecarapi.com/docs/calculator): Estimate the landed cost of importing a vehicle. These are estimates, not a binding quote.
- [SEO helpers](https://thecarapi.com/docs/seo): Build popular landing pages and resolve brand/model URL slugs.
- [Health & contract](https://thecarapi.com/docs/ops): Check service dependencies and inspect the API index.
- [Code examples](https://thecarapi.com/docs/code-examples): Minimal clients in cURL, TypeScript, Python and PHP, plus recipes for pagination, conditional requests and detail pages.
- [Recipes](https://thecarapi.com/docs/recipes): Six end-to-end flows that cover most of what the API is for. Each is a complete sequence, not a fragment.
- [Agents & machine formats](https://thecarapi.com/docs/agents): Every page of this reference as Markdown, plain text, JSON and OpenAPI — and how to point a coding agent at it.
