Merchandisable Vehicles API

Merchandisable vehicles include all vehicles available for sale or lease from the dealership. Merchandisable vehicle information goes far beyond basic specifications, features, and technical details. It includes financial information like pricing and incentives, and marketing media like thumbnails, still photos, and videos of the vehicle in action.

The Merchandisable Vehicles API allows users to search for vehicles based on location, vehicle specifications, price, and mileage. When a vehicle is identified, it can retrieve the full range of vehicle information.

Merchandisable Vehicles

Merchandisable Vehicles

A merchandisable vehicle is created when a customer would like to sell a vehicle through a 3rd party site for instance their own web site or a marketplace site. The vehicle will need to have sales information, including pricing, photographs and videos and will be aggregated with other vehicles that are for sale.

What does this API do?

The API will allow you to find, and retrieve, filter and sort the details about vehicles that are for sale so they can be marketed as required.

Intended Audience

It is expected that dealer web sites, aggregation services and similar will use this service to show, filter and sort dealership vehicles and pass on leads to the dealer or contact potential buyers.
