Can’t wait to see how developers leverage this to build amazing solutions πŸ™Œ

This is awesome! Any reason the /models endpoint isn't working? I'm getting a "not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin." response, but the other endpoints are working great!

Hi. I work for a company in the UK that sells software to car dealers. Is this only for the US market? Also the majority ok the EU uses Cap Data.

@mirmayne Today this is US only, but we are working on adding western European data sources

Nice! Now I can revive a project that used an API that was too expensive while we developed it and built traffic.

?makers Pretty good stuff! Could you comment on how the data is sourced and what kind of market coverage it has? Thanks.
Michael John
@anand_mahajan We're scraping the data from many different data sources, and normalizing it into a common data format. Today this just have coverage in the US market, but we're working on adding a number of additional international sources next.

@anand_mahajan @michael_john6 Awesome! did you build the scrapers in house or use off the shelf stuff? I've been playing with Zyte and it's pretty fun

Years ago there were multiple available free APIs for vehicle listings, but with some companies closed down their API and others eliminating their free tier and increased prices. We knew there had to be a better option for people to get started building online automotive experiences, but we couldn't find one that met our needs. So we created our own listings API with a generous free tier because we want to lower the barriers to entry to unlock the next generation of automotive commerce. Let us know what you're building, and what other automotive APIs you wish you had access to. Happy coding!
Tony Mancini
Great idea! Hope Auto.dev won't close their API

Fantastic product. I know this might be key to your business, but what's the source of data and how do you keep it updated? Do you scrape off other websites?
Michael John
@p_p_build Thanks! And yes, we're constantly aggregating the data from many sources.

I've been looking for a product like this for weeks! Where have you been? This is spectacular.

This is a great idea. Could have used it the last time I was looking for a car. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
