API v2 Add-on

Lifestyle image by id

GET/api/id/{id}/lifestyle/{scene}/{image}

API v2 add-on — keys with v2 access. Same as *Lifestyle: resolve an image*, addressed by the car's stable id. GET /api/id/{id}/lifestyle lists the scenes, GET /api/id/{id}/lifestyle/{scene} their images.

Path parameters

Name	Type	Description
`id` required	integer	Stable config id.
`scene` required	string	Scene.
`image` required	string	Image of the scene.

Query parameters

Name	Type	Description
`format`	string	Delivery format. `pngwebpjpegavifauto`
`ratio`	string	Aspect ratio (cropped to fill). `1:14:33:216:916:102:121:95:43:44:52:39:16`
`lights`	string	API v2 add-on: headlights on or off. Default `on`: without the parameter the image comes with the lights on wherever the image has them; send `lights=off` for an image without lights. An image with no light variant simply comes without lights; with `lights=on` it also carries errornote `L26`. `onoff`
`windows`	string	API v2 add-on: `see_through` = glass as in the image (default), `dark` = privacy glass you cannot see through. Not available → errornote `W28`. `see_throughdark`
`plate`	string	API v2 add-on: licence plate — `none` = as in the image (default), `blank` = empty plate, `logo` = your logo on the plate (set up on your key; missing → blank + errornote `N30`), `text` = your own text from `plate_text` (must be enabled for your key, see `addon.plate_text` in `/api/me`; otherwise errornote `O31`). `noneblanklogotext`
`plate_text`	string	API v2 add-on: the text for `plate=text` — up to 10 characters: letters, digits, spaces and `-` `.` `&`. Written on the plate as sent (upper and lower case kept), centred and as large as the plate allows. Missing, too long or other characters → `400`.
`size`	string	API v2 add-on: longest side — `2k` 2560 px, `1080p` 1920 px, `720p` 1280 px, `540p` 960 px, `360p` 640 px, `thumb` 320 px. `width` / `height` win over `size`. `2k1080p720p540p360pthumb`
`hotspots`	string	API v2 add-on: add `hotspots` to the response — points of interest (rims, headlights …) as fractions 0–1 of the image, e.g. for interactive viewers. `true`
`version`	string	Results from one version only: `v1` = standard images, `v2` = API v2 add-on (no fallback to standard images). Without it: everything your key allows. Not allowed for your key → `403`. `v1v2`
