Technology, API & VIN Matching

Integration into your DMS is done via our REST API. We provide comprehensive documentation, code examples, and SDKs for common programming languages. The API can be easily called via HTTP requests and returns JSON responses with image URLs.

Yes, our API supports exact 17-digit VIN decoding. We can analyze the VIN and automatically deliver the correct images based on brand, model, year, equipment, and other information derived from the VIN.

Our VIN match rate is over 95% for common vehicles in our main markets. For rare or very new models, the rate may be slightly lower, but we continuously work to improve our coverage.

If no exact match is found, we use intelligent fallback logic that delivers the next best available image. You also receive detailed error codes so you know why no match was found.

Yes, we use a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) that delivers images from servers near your users. This ensures lightning-fast loading times worldwide and optimizes performance for Google Core Web Vitals.

We deliver images by default as PNG with transparent background. Optionally, you can request WebP, JPEG, or other formats via URL parameters. We also support AVIF for modern browsers.

Our API supports HTTP/2 and is working on implementing HTTP/3 for even faster transfers. We keep our infrastructure up to date with the latest technology.

We provide code examples and wrapper libraries for common frameworks. While we don't have official SDKs for every framework, we provide comprehensive documentation and sample code that can be easily integrated into React, Angular, Vue.js, and other frameworks.

Yes, our images are optimized for Google Core Web Vitals. We offer automatic resizing, modern image formats (WebP, AVIF), and CDN optimization to minimize loading times and maximize performance.

Our API typically has a response time of under 100ms for image URLs. Through our global CDN and modern infrastructure, we are often faster than legacy providers like Imagin.studio.

Yes, our API delivers not only image URLs but also metadata such as technical data, paint codes, equipment details, and other relevant information about the vehicle.

Yes, we offer test API keys that provide access to a sandbox environment with test data. This allows developers to test the API without using production data.

Yes, we support bulk requests for large fleet inventories. You can send multiple VINs in one request and receive the corresponding image URLs in one response. This is particularly useful for leasing companies and large dealer groups.

Yes, our API documentation is publicly available and follows OpenAPI standards. You can view the documentation without signing up, and we also provide Swagger/OpenAPI specifications for integration into API tools.

You can cache image URLs on your own servers, as the URLs are stable. We also recommend caching images on your site to reduce API calls. Our API also supports conditional requests with ETags for efficient caching.

Webhooks are currently not part of our standard offering, but we are working on this feature. For enterprise customers, we can offer custom solutions for updates.

Yes, you can dynamically control image sizes, qualities, and formats via URL parameters. This allows you to optimize images for different use cases (thumbnails, full image, mobile) without making multiple API calls.

We currently don't offer official plugins for WordPress or Shopify, but our REST API can be easily integrated into both platforms. We are working on official plugins for the future.

Our API uses API keys for authentication. Keys can be managed in your dashboard and can be rotated as needed. We also support IP whitelisting for additional security.

Yes, we have rate limits to ensure the stability of our API. Standard limits are 120 requests per 60 seconds per API key. For enterprise customers, we can agree on higher limits.

Yes, you can store image URLs and even the images themselves on your own servers, as long as you comply with the terms of use. Our URLs are stable and don't change, which facilitates caching.

Our API delivers detailed error codes and error messages that help you quickly identify and resolve problems. We use standardized HTTP status codes and additional error details in the JSON response.

We offer email support for developers and are working on a direct developer channel (Slack/Discord) for enterprise customers. Contact us for details on our support options.

Our API can work with various data sources, including JATO and DAT. We can configure our API to integrate with your existing data sources.

Migration from Evox to our API is relatively easy, as both use REST APIs. We provide migration assistance, code examples, and support during the transition. Most integrations can be migrated within a few days.
