Basic Key Based Authentication

We support API key-based authentication, recommended if you build applications to integrate with our platform.

Do you need a key? Contact your sales rep or contact to request one to start developing.

Key Types

Secret API Key

A secret API key is for the server side and should not be shared with the front end.

Example Key: sec_23hcfb8374bfhc833i4uhx

Public API Key

A public API key is used on your website to call the API. These keys are limited to your domain and are safe to share publicly.

Example Key: pub_3ficuhb34u8fnxu34h9fm

Authenticating Requests

When making requests to the APIs, include the key in your request.

Authorization: ApiKey {your API key}

Other Authentication Methods

We also support , you can read more about this authentication mechanism here.

OAuth

API Test Cases

Test your requests in a safe zero-cost way through our test case set.

You can use our test cases to confirm your implementation on our production endpoints. All requests using these values are not billable.

Test Cases

Refer below to set of test cases. They are all linked and refer back to the same vehicle IDs.

Type
Region
Value
Outcome

Test cases are supported across a range of API endpoints listed below. If the endpoint you are testing with is not listed get in touch to request test data.

  • /valuations/predict

  • /valuations/vins

  • /valuations/registrations

An example implementation could run a test as part of an integration test or development process. For example, you could test a valuation flow by first using a registration plate to get the ID (which is also test data) and send that to a /predict to get a valuation and a market overlay.

Market Statistics

Get key statistics on any vehicle ID

The Market Overlay Statistics API delivers statistics we generate on your behalf from the endpoint.

Starting with your Vehicle ID post it to the statistics endpoint.

An example response is below.

As this endpoint is part of the market overlay route you can enhance your payload with additional features. Refer to to see what's available.

    Factory Build Data

    Request data the vehicle was fitted with at the factory

    Overview

    To request an extensive factory build data list call the /build-data endpoint. If the relevant manufacturer is participating in our Options data product you will see it in the response.

    For example, you could request build information VIN:WVWZZZAWZKU065305 as below.

    /v2/vehicles/vins/SALWA2KE5EA312255/build-data?region=nz

    The VIN decodes to a Volkswagen Polo, as VW is participating in the Build data program we are able to deliver the following build data.

    {
        "success": true,
        "vehicle": {
            "vin": "WVWZZZAWZKU065305",
            "build_date": "2019-03-19",
            "make": "VOLKSWAGEN",
            "model": "POLO",
            "features": [
                {
                    "code": "00A",
                    "value": "Rear overhang, short"
                },
                {
                    "code": "0A2",
                    "value": "4 doors"
                },
                {
                    "code": "0AR",
                    "value": "Front stabilizer bar"
                },
                {
                    "code": "0B1",
                    "value": "Wheelbase"
                },
                {
                    "code": "0EG",
                    "value": "Dual-clutch transmission DSG DQ200"
                },
                {
                    "code": "0FV",
                    "value": "South Africa manufacturing sequence"
                },
                {
                    "code": "0K0",
                    "value": "Without alternative drive system"
                }
    
            ]
        }
    }
    ```

    If we are unable to provide build information for the requested VIN we will return an error like this.

    {
        "error": true,
        "message": "Invalid or Unsupported VIN"
    }

    If you are not using a valid VIN we will respond with this.

    {
        "error": true,
        "message": "Invalid VIN, must be 17 characters."
    }

    Coverage

    The Factory build data program covers most major manufacturers back to vehicles built in 1999. Contact us to request if we have coverage of a specific area.

    As of 2023 the system has coverage across 40 manufacturers as below:

    • Abarth

    • Alfa Romeo

    • Alpina

    • Audi

    Facet Integration Worked Example

    Read a step by step example guide on how to work with Facets.

    Let's work backwards from the end result which is one or a few results for your user to pick from driven by previous drop-down. There are a few ways to make facets work for you, we'll go through the most common integration method.

    Form your GET request for makes

    /v2/vehicles/facets?region=nz&facet=make

    Ask your user to choose a make from the list then call all available models based on that selection. Let's say your user chose Toyota.

    Form your request for a list of Models

    Vehicle History

    Request a vehicles history on marketplaces

    The Vehicle History API allows you to access historical lead listing data from a variety of used car marketplaces. This API requires authentication and an appropriate license attached to it.

    The endpoint can be queried using a range of identifiers. VIN is the most readily matched identifier, you can pass in many identifiers to increase the likelihood of matching to a valid listing. See the table below for a list of all supported identifiers.

    Title
    Parameter
    Example

    Registration & VIN Valuations

    Generate a valuation with a Registration Plate or VIN

    POST the registration plate and region to /v2/valuations/registrations/BMT038?

    Example Response

    POST the encapsulated VIN to /v2/valuations/vins/7AT08G0RX19303899

    Example Response

    This integration approach relies on the successful lookup of the vehicle. We recommend staggering your integration so you isolate the vehicle ID first using vehicle search methods and then proceed to valuation driven by the vehicle ID.

  • Porsche

  • Peugeot

  • Renault

  • Rolls-Royce

  • Saab

  • SEAT

  • Skoda

  • smart

  • Vauxhall

  • Volkswagen

  • Volvo

  • This is done to avoid issues where the VIN lookup component of the valuation fails blocking your workflow. In the recommended scenario if your VIN or Rego lookup fails, you can fall back to Facet or Text Search informed by the "upstream_vehicle" parameter.

    Implementation Constrains

    /v2/vehicles/facets?region=nz&make=Toyota&facet=model

    Ask your user to choose a Model from the list then call all available models based on that selection. Let's say your user chose Corolla.

    Form your request for a list of badges

    v2/vehicles/facets?model=Corolla&region=nz&make=Toyota&facet=badge

    Select A Badge A Load Vehicles From A Search

    Ask your user to choose a badge from the list. Let's say your user chose Sprint. You can see the count is 3, meaning there are only 2 badges. You could send that directly to them or repeat the process with the year (&facet=year) to refine it further.

    Let's say you'd like to present the three options to the user.

    /v2/vehicles/facets/search?region=nz&badge=Sprint&make=Toyota&model=Corolla

    If you do not pay attention to the counts under each facet there may be to many vehicle to perform a search on. You will know you have triggered this limitation if you see the error below.

    {
        "success": true,
        "make": [
            {
                "value": "Abarth",

    For example, if you were to use all available identifiers your request would resemble the request below.

    If that vehicle is found, all its relevant events will be included in the response, an example is below.

    The Vehicle History endpoint delivers detailed information on events related to a listing. The following events are possible on a given listing.

    Listing - the detection of a listing being added to its relevant marketplace.

    Delisting - the detection of a listing being removed from its relevant marketplace, this is frequently and reliably related to a sale of the vehicle.

    Price Change - the detection of a movement in the price, see the features section below for more information.

    To perform an example request:

    An example payload is included below to illustrate a potential response.

    You can opt to enrich to your vehicle history payload by passing in a feature or features separated by commas.

    Price Changes

    Currently, we support the price_changes feature that will show you fluctuations in the price. Passing this feature will return upward on downward movements in the listings' price.

    Contact your sales rep to understand your commercial rate card for each feature.

    Market Insights Snapshot

    The Market Insights Snapshot system provides insights into the marketability of a given car in a marketplace.

    Overview

    The widget can show regionalised market insights based on input vehicles. It is customisable to your brand via a hero brand icon. The resulting market information can help your customers understand the market reception to a given vehicle.

    Implementation

    Speak to your sales rep about your desired implementation pattern. We will supply you with staging and production iFrame url code as part of your deployment process.

    You must implement your own trigger button to launch the iframe and load in all required inputs as below.

    Example Implementation Inputs

    To load the iframe you need to share the following input variables.

    Label
    Description
    Example
    Requirement

    The system will take the most economically logical identifier and fall back to others when provided with options. The preference list is below.

    1. If provided with a Vehicle_Description it will use that.

    2. If not, VIN will be used,

    3. If not, Registration

    You have two options to embed the iframe inside your website. In both these options, it is critical that you set the iframe width to 650px and centred.

    Popup - holding the iframe in a popup container and ensuring you conform to the AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_HIDE to event listening to close the popup container and AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_DIMENSIONS resize the height dynamically.

    On Page - holding the iframe on a page ensuring you let us know so we can remove the close button. Since the page can still extend vertically you need to respond to the AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_DIMENSIONS alert.

    The valuation widget will send messages you need to pay attention to via the iframe postMessage function. The messages are as follows.

    AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_SUCCESS

    The widget loaded successfully, no intervention is needed.

    AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_ERROR

    An exception or error was delivering the iframe contents.

    AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_HIDE

    The close button at the end of the workflow or close X in the interface has been pressed.

    AUTOGRAB_INSIGHTS_DIMENSIONS

    The iframe has resized due to changes in the contents. Please respond by resizing the iframe container to hold the new contents without cropping.

    Required

    API_Key

    Your API key used to securely load the iframe and load your brand configuration.

    123ABC

    Required

    Registration_Plate

    The registration plate of the vehicle

    123ABC

    Optional

    VIN

    The VIN, if known, for the vehicle.

    123ABC

    Optional

    Region

    The country you would like to load insights for.

    Recapture

    The Recapture API allows you to upload, view and delete Customers.

    Uploading Customer lists

    The main purpose of the Recapture API is to facilitate the automated upload of new Customers.

    Customer lists are often very long, so the Recapture API allows you to queue Customer uploads without immediately processing every Customer in the list. There is an endpoint to queue the upload, and separate endpoints to check the status of the upload, and cancel it, if necessary.

    Upload a list of Customers

    A POST request to https://api.autograb.com.au/v2/recapture/upload?region={REGION} will initiate a new queued Customer list upload.

    The request body has the following parameters:

    • name: A name to assign to the upload, for personal reference

    • enable_rego_lookups: When rego lookups are enabled, if the registration plate (and state, if in Australia) is provided, but no VIN is provided for a Customer, we will perform a VIN lookup (at additional cost to you) and save the VIN along with the Customer. When a Customer includes a VIN number, we can cross-reference the VIN with new vehicle listings posted in the future, and use this to verify that the car being sold is definitely the same car that you are tracking.

    • monitor_start_date: An optional default date from which Customers in this upload should start being monitored. Applied to any Customer that does not specify its own monitor_start_date.

    • monitor_end_date: An optional default date after which Customers in this upload should stop being monitored. Applied to any Customer that does not specify its own monitor_end_date.

    • customers: An array of the Customers that you want to upload. Customers can have any of the following properties, but everything is optional (however, at least a rego OR a vin is necessary for tracking purposes):

      • rego: The registration plate of the Customer's vehicle

      • vin

    If you try to upload an empty list, you will receive a You must upload at least one customer error.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    This endpoint returns a 202 Accepted response. An example response payload is:

    Check upload status

    Once you've queued a Customer upload, you may want to check on the upload progress. Sending a GET request to /v2/recapture/upload/{UPLOAD_ID}?region={REGION} will return information about the upload, including the progress and the number of errors.

    The key properties to check the upload progress are total_uploaded_customers and total_processed_customers. Creating a new Customer consists of two steps - uploading and processing - and these two counters reflect the progress made for each of these steps.

    Once total_processed_customers is equal to total_uploaded_customers, the upload is complete. If there are any unexpected errors during the upload, total_errors will increase to signify this, but total_processed_customers is inclusive of errors.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    Cancel an upload

    If you queue a Customer upload and later change your mind, you can cancel the upload, stopping the creation of any more Customers.

    The response payload will include the details of the deleted upload.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    Once you have uploaded a Customer list, you are able to use the Recapture API to view your newly uploaded Customers, as well as create, edit and delete individual Customer.

    Get a list of all Customers

    You can use the /v2/recapture/customers?region={REGION} endpoint to retrieve a list of all your Customers.

    This list is paginated, and you can move between pages using the offset and limit query parameters. The limit is capped at 500.

    If you want to get Customers associated with a specific upload, you can pass the unique Upload ID to the upload_id query parameter.

    The response includes a total field with the overall count of Customers matching the query, which is useful for paginating through large lists.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    Create an individual Customer

    You can create a single Customer directly using the PUT method on the /v2/recapture/customers?region={REGION} endpoint.

    The request body has two parameters:

    • enable_rego_lookups: When enabled, if a registration plate is provided but no VIN, we will perform a VIN lookup (at additional cost). Defaults to false.

    • customer: An object with the Customer's details. At least a rego or a vin must be provided.

    If neither rego nor vin is provided, you will receive a Missing required properties error.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    Get an individual Customer

    You can get individual Customer details using the GET method on /v2/recapture/customers/{CUSTOMER_ID}?region={REGION}.

    Trying to lookup an invalid Customer ID returns the Invalid Customer ID error, and trying to look up a Customer that you don't have access to returns a You don't have permission to access that customer error.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    Update an individual Customer

    If you need to make changes to an individual Customer's details, you can use the PATCH method on the /v2/recapture/customers/{CUSTOMER_ID}?region={REGION} endpoint.

    Only the fields that you specify in the request body will be affected, and providing an empty value ("") or null will clear the field where applicable.

    The response payload will include the updated Customer object.

    You can update any of the following Customer properties: external_id, sale_date, monitor_start_date, monitor_end_date, additional_fields

    sale_date, monitor_start_date, and monitor_end_date must be valid date strings if provided.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    Delete an individual Customer

    You can delete an individual Customer by using the DELETE method on the /v2/recapture/customers/{CUSTOMER_ID}?region={REGION} endpoint.

    The response payload includes the details of the Customer that was deleted.

    The same error messages apply as with the Get Customer endpoint.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    : The Vehicle Identification Number corresponding to the Customer's vehicle
  • external_id: An optional identifier from your own system to associate with this Customer, for your reference.

  • sale_date: The date that the vehicle was sold to the Customer, if applicable. For reference only.

  • monitor_start_date: If provided, overrides the upload-level monitor_start_date for this specific Customer.

  • monitor_end_date: If provided, overrides the upload-level monitor_end_date for this specific Customer.

  • additional_fields: A map of any other properties that should be saved along with the Customer.

  • rego: The registration plate of the Customer's vehicle

  • vin: The Vehicle Identification Number corresponding to the Customer's vehicle

  • external_id: An optional identifier from your own system to associate with this Customer, for your reference

  • sale_date: The date that the vehicle was sold to the Customer, if applicable

  • monitor_start_date: If provided, the date from which this Customer should start being monitored

  • monitor_end_date: If provided, the date after which this Customer should stop being monitored

  • additional_fields: A map of any other properties to save with the Customer

    URL Linking Structure

    Jump directly out of your own applications into a valuable part of the AutoGrab product suit.

    As an approved integration partner you can create buttons inside your system that link directly to parts of the AutoGrab product suite. This can create valuable user experiences for your customers giving them new abilities to explore datasets outside your platform.

    The "app.autograb.com.au/" prefix applies for most users, consider if your AutoGrab customer audiences use SSO to access the app. If so you may need to dynamically update your prefix like "example.autograb.com.au/".

    Real-Time Pricing

    At a minimum, a vehicle ID parameter must be included in the URL, as you can see below: https://app.autograb.com.au/pricing?vehicleId=6673067719786496 You will need to include a rego, vin and/or state parameter to pre-fill the registration search box without running a rego lookup. This will associate the pricing record with the correct rego and VIN and enable easy access to PPSR lookups as those details will also be pre-filled: https://app.autograb.com.au/pricing?vehicleId=6673067719786496&rego=CER226&vin=WBATR92040LE26311&state=VIC Ideally, the odometer reading should also be passed in the URL, otherwise, it will default to 0kms. You can use the odometer input with or without the rego/vin inputs, but the vehicle ID is always required. https://app.autograb.com.au/pricing?vehicleId=6673067719786496&rego=CER226&vin=WBATR92040LE26311&state=VIC&kms=10000 The expected integration pattern assumes your user has access to app.autograb already. If they are not signed in they will be asked to. You can find the vehicle ID by using a vehicle search mechanism as you would have already done in your product.

    This URL strategy will not submit the valuation request, your user will need to push the button.

    Sourcing

    To jump to a specific vehicle in sourcing you can provide identifiers in the following URL patterns. If the identifier is not able to be matched to a vehicle in sourcing we will notify the user of this in app.

    Identifier
    URL Example

    To jump to a specific vehicle in MyListings you can provide identifiers in the following URL patterns. If you pass in an identifier that is not associated with the logged in dealer we will show an error popup notifying the user of this.

    Valuation Predictions

    Generate market accurate predictions for vehicles.

    Overview

    The Valuation API can be used to determine the present retail & trade values, as well as the residual values of new vehicles.

    This API requires authentication and an appropriate license attached to it.

    To use the API, a Vehicle ID returned from the Vehicle Search API or Vehicle Facet API is required.

    Example

    Request

    To retrieve a Vehicle ID, use the .

    Starting with a vehicle ID post it to /v2/valuations/predict

    {
        "region": "nz",
        "vehicle_id": "5804870883868672"
        "kms": 30000,
        "condition_score": 2
    }

    The is optional and can be used to further refine your pricing prediction.

    Payload

    {
        "success": true,
        "prediction": {
            "id": "a2955915-9611-40ef-8b98-b827dad76ff4",
            "vehicle_id": "5804870883868672",
            "kms": 57306,
            "price": 20622,
            "score": 0.9239,
            "retail_price": 20622,
            "trade_price": 17122,
            "adjustment": null
        }
    }

    Pricing ID

    The payload returned by price prediction requests will include an ID, which you can use to refer to the pricing request in the future. The /v2/valuations/history/{PRICING_ID method will return the response from a previous pricing request, and you can also use the Pricing ID to track price changes with the Price Changes API, if licenced.

    To get a paginated list of all your previous price predictions, you can use the /v2/valuations/history endpoint.

    By supplying a condition score, you can manipulate the trade_price returned by the prediction endpoint. The condition score can be between 1 and 5. A condition of 1 being poor condition and a condition of 5 excellent condition.

    Supplying any other numbers will return the default trade_price which assumes excellent condition.

    If you're building a user interface where you allow the user to choose a condition it is recommended you follow the industry standard in the table below.

    Brand Guidelines

    How to use AutoGrabs brand correctly

    The following guidelines help developers to use AutoGrabs’s brand and assets correctly and consistently where approved to do so.

    Naming Apps and Integrations

    When naming apps and integrations that use AutoGrab data, please follow these guidelines:

    • Use a unique name for your application or integration

    • Do not use “AutoGrab” in the name of your application or integration

    • Clearly state that the integration is built by you — and not AutoGrab

    • Do not use a name that is confusingly similar to AutoGrab or infringes on any other trademarks

    The logo and wordmark are the most prominent elements of the AutoGrabs brand and it’s important to use them correctly.

    Detailed instructions for the usage of our brand assets are provided via our dedicated brand usage guide.

    Integration Overview

    Key things to know before you start.

    Overview

    Our API uses the OpenAPI 2.0 specification, making it easy for our partners to integrate. We want to ensure the best possible experience when integrating with our stack.

    Your account manager will provision API keys for your account. If you require a key to be revoked please get in touch with your account manager.

    APIs have soft quota limits that are enforced based on your contract agreement. To discuss these limits please get in touch with your account manager.

    We strictly monitor the number of requests per second — if you exceed your allocation the API will respond with HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. We will also return additional headers to help you better understand when rate limits will be applied.

    The limits are applied per API product and are decided based on your contract agreement. Rate limits do not relate to quotas.

    Vehicle Data Basics

    Get the level of detail you need on the vehicle you want.

    The Vehicle Data API set allows you to find descriptive information on a vehicle at the level of granularity you require. This API requires authentication and an appropriate license attached to it.

    Facet Search

    Use smart drop downs to find a vehicle.

    Search for Vehicles by facets

    The Vehicle Facets API allows you to narrow down the matching vehicle based on the vehicle's parameters. The facets available are: year, make, model, badge, series, transmission, body, body_style, fuel, engine and wheelbase.

    If you would like to return aggregations of factes, use a comma-separated list in the facets field: eg. facets=badge,series,transmission.

    This function is useful when supplying data to drop-downs for display on a form. A good example of using Facets API is .

    For a preview of how facets in implemented inside the AutoGrab web app see the video below.

    Factory Build Data

    Use this if you require build sheet-level information on what the vehicle left the factory with.

    Vehicle History

    Use this if you require a history-style description of the vehicle's pricing and listing history.

    Residual Valuations

    Predict the future value of a vehicle.

    The Residual Value prediction API uses current market trends to influence the depreciation curve of newer vehicles. The API allows you to influence the outcome of the prediction by either mutating stored Recommended Retail Price or by providing your own Retail Value for the car.

    In the example below we are sending the vehicle ID along with other key details to /v2/valuations/residual. The example body of the post is below.

    {
        "region": "au",
        "vehicle_id": "5804870883868672",
        "initial_kms": 30000,
        "yearly_kms": 20000
    }

    This yields a prediction over the 5-year projection timeframe as below.

    Vehicle Searching Basics

    Vehicle discovery is the starting place for almost all functions on the AutoGrab API.

    The Vehicle Search API set allows you to find matching vehicles within our database. This API requires and an appropriate license attached to it.

    Plain-text Search

    Get results with a text string search

    The Vehicle Search API allows you to search for matching vehicles by plain-text input. The API will return an array of vehicles and the confidence score in a match for that given vehicle.

    The request requires a region, search string & API key. The default page length is 10, however, you can adjust this based on your requirements.

    Example Payload

    Condition Array

    Predict all potential values across many conditions for a vehicle.

    If you wish to predict valuations at all available conditions of the vehicle. That is those between 1 and 5,with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent condition. You can utilise the conditions in the same way you would use the standard /v2/valuations/predict/ endpoint.

    In this endpoint, we will return all available conditions in an array. This can power great user experiences where you may wish to show a large range depending on the condition of the vehicle.

    Use this search mechanism if you have a vehicle description or title as a text string and want to resolve to an vehicle ID.

    Use this search mechanism if you have a VIN and want summary data to resolve to an vehicle ID.

    Use this search mechanism if you have a registration plate and want summary data to resolve to an vehicle ID.

    Use this search mechanism if you would like your users to interact with drop downs to resolve to a vehicle ID.

    Use this search mechanism if you would like to understand registration information without being given an vehicle ID.

    Use this to get summary data on a vehicle if you already have its ID.

    A special use case search function for marketplace partners.

    OAuth Authentication

    At the customer's preference, it is possible to integrate with our APIs via OAuth client credential token grant.

    OAuth integration consists of 2 basic components:

    1. Token management (ensure your system always has a valid OAuth token available)

    2. REST API call signing using a valid token

    Token management

    Before implementing token management, make sure you have a valid client_id and client_secret as provided by us (Your sales rep will provide them). These are the credentials you will use to get valid tokens from the auth-broker.

    A valid token can be stored locally for use in subsequent API calls. It is recommended to calculate a safe expiry timestamp based on the expires_in property of the response body and use this to pre-emptively refresh your token when it nears expiry.

    With a valid OAuth token, each REST API call that you make can be authorised by encoding the as-provided token string into your Authorization header using the Bearer prefix.

    Token management

    • I don’t get a 200 response on my request-token calls Double-check your client_id and client_secret with AutoGrab. Double-check your Basic Auth encoding. Double-check your content-type header and post-body structure.

    • I have a valid token but my API calls are failing 401 response -- there may be a problem with your token, or the way Bearer Auth is being encoded in the headers.

    AutoGauge

    Create your own price indication and benchmarking gauge.

    The AutoGrab AutoGauge is an endpoint that delivers market benchmarking information with inputs of listing information. It supports a range of inputs depending on your use case.

    The body of the request can accept a range of inputs depending on your listing data. All available inputs are below.

    The response for this request is below. The AutoGauge can be presented with a broad range of vehicle identifiers and will consider them dependent on your commercial agreement. In the scenario above, the AutoGrab ID was presented and used, and all other inputs were supplied as backups.

    If you are a marketplace you will store your own marketplace IDs against each listing. You can submit those via the request body to produce an AutoGauge response.

    As a customer with an existing AutoGrab API integration, you will likely have stored the vehicles IDs from vehicle search steps you've previously taken. In this case, supply your known vehicle_id as part of the request. This is the lowest-cost implementation as it does not require a VIN or Registration search.

    REST API call signing

    Troubleshooting

    As an app or new customer, you may only have the VIN and registration information for your vehicles. You can pass them into the request body as below.

    Adjustments

    Adjust valuations we send you based on a rule set.

    Both the Residual Value and Used Value APIs support pricing adjustments. These can be used to retrieve a more accurate price prediction of a vehicle if the provided price is not already accurate enough.

    Recommended Retail Price Adjustment

    To adjust the stored Recommended Retail Price you can supply a rrp_adjustment value in the payload which accepts a number — positive or negative.

    This is useful when a car is fitted with factory extras, the Price When New can be increased for each of the options to get a better price prediction.

    Recommended Retail Price Overwrite

    To overwrite the systems stored Recommended Retail Price with your own, use the rrp_overwrite value in the payload which accepts a number.

    Predicted Retail and Trade Price Adjustments

    The Pricing Adjustments API (/v2/valuations/adjustments) allows you to configure fixed or percentage adjustments for specific Vehicle IDs.

    Per-vehicle pricing adjustments will apply to price predictions that you perform using the same API Key and for the same Vehicle ID.

    If you set a Retail Price Adjustment for a vehicle, the trade price will also be affected because the trade price is derived from the retail price. If you set an adjustment for both the retail price and the trade price, both adjustments will be applied to the trade price while the retail price is only affected by the retail price adjustment.

    When you perform a price prediction, you will receive a summary of the price adjustments that were applied, if any.

    Predicted Retail/Trade Adjustments do not apply to residual valuations.

    Example

    Below is an example price prediction payload with predicted trade and retail adjustments applied.

    As well as Price Adjustments, you also have the option to override Retail and Trade prices for specific Vehicle IDs where the odometer reading falls within a set range. Price overrides are configured using the Price Override API at /v2/valuations/adjustments/{VEHICLE_ID}/overrides.

    If you have configured a retail or trade price override that applies to a price prediction, the overridden price will be returned instead of the AutoGrab valuation. This will bypass any price adjustments that you may have configured, and the response payload will indicate this with the {overridden: true} flag.

    Retail price overrides will impact the predicted trade price in the same way that retail price adjustments impact the trade price - unless you have configured a trade price override. In the case where you have both a trade override and a retail override, the two overridden prices will be returned without any pre-processing (except to calculate condition scores, if applicable - see below).

    As with Predicted Retail/Trade Adjustments, price overrides do not apply to residual valuations

    Example

    Below is an example price prediction payload where both price adjustments and price overrides have been configured. In this example, the retail price adjustment has been overridden by the retail price override, and the trade price adjustment has been applied.

    VIN Search

    Get vehicle details from a VIN.

    The Vehicle VIN API allows you to search for vehicles by VIN. The request requires only a region, VIN & API key. This will return either a matching vehicle with possible option packs, or a null.

    Example

    curl "https://api.autograb.com.au/v2/vehicles/vins/WVWZZZ6RZAU020000?region=nz" \
         -H 'ApiKey: {API_KEY}'

    Matching Confidence

    Understand how we match vehicles and the expected outcomes.

    The matcher is a foundational piece of technology that reconciles market, listing and data inputs describing cars against our vehicle catalogue. This is done so you can utilise our market-leading vehicle ID for additional workflows like valuation, market data and more.

    For example, when you request information on a registration plate the primary input we receive is its description "upstream_vehicle": "2019 Isuzu Ute MU-X 4x2 LS-M 4 Wagon 6sp auto 3.0L 3000cc 4cyl T/Diesel 2018. That needs to be matched to "id": "4843865643155456" which represents hundreds of data points related to the Isuzu.

    We are transparent about the confidence of the match and you can leverage this to inform your workflows. In each relevant vehicle discovery method you will receive a "confidence" response.

    Confidence Parameter
    Explanation

    In the reduced confidence outcome we highly recommend showing the upstream_vehicle parameter. This will help your user ensure the vehicle we have responded with is representative of the real vehicle.

    API Reference Parameter

    Use this to utilise a single API key but track usage by passing a unique param per use-case or customer.

    On any endpoint add the new parameter reference_id and pass in your ID.

    This ID will be stored against usage records if supplied and can be used to support custom billing workflows as agreed with your account representative.

    The match from the input provided was at our standard confidence and is reliable for all use cases.

    The match from the input provided was not reliably matched and we have a lower confidence for its usage in general use cases.

    AutoGauge

    AutoGrabs dynamic pricing indicator for your website

    The AutoGrab AutoGauge is an iFrame widget that displays a valuation as well as some high-level market data for a vehicle listing. We host a configuration file that controls a range of labelling and styling variables that we will guide you through as part of your integration.

    An example gauge configuration

    You can access this over API if you would like to make your own implementation over the iFrame,.

    Query Parameters

    Since the gauge operates in an iFrame, it is controlled using query parameters. These parameters are separated into two distinct groups: Base parameters and vehicle-type parameters. The base parameters are applicable for all use cases, whereas you only need to choose one set of vehicle-type parameters in order to use the gauge.

    Base parameters

    api_key: string; Your Gauge API Key (locked to your provided domains).

    region: Region; The country code (‘au’, ‘nz’ or ‘my’)

    odometer: number; The odometer reading for the vehicle you are valuing

    listing_price: number; The listing price for the vehicle you are valuing

    layout?: string; The desired layout style (‘horizontal’ or vertical). If a layout type is not provided, this will default to ‘vertical’.

    These parameters are used to determine the type of vehicle that you are valuing, and only one of these sets of properties are required to match a vehicle. Depending on your use case, it may be easier to use certain sets of parameters over others.

    vehicle_id The AutoGrab vehicle ID

    marketplace and marketplace_id The marketplace domain name where the vehicle is publicly listed (e.g. ‘carsales.com.au’) and the unique listing ID on the marketplace (e.g. ‘OAG-AD-216621’)

    vin The vehicle's VIN number

    rego The registration plate (e.g. ‘BMT038’).

    vehicle_description The plain text vehicle description (e.g. ‘2019 Volkswagen Polo 85TSI Comfortline Auto MY19’)

    With VIN

    With Rego

    With Marketplace/Marketplace ID

    With Vehicle Description

    To test the gauge locally, simply create an index.html file with the following contents:

    You can then host this file on localhost:8080 using the npx-server package. You can use the ‘npx’ command line tool to do this:

    > npx html-server ./index.html

    The localhost:8080 URL is whitelisted for your API key, therefore enabling this workflow.

    If the Gauge is successfully rendered, we send a message via the iframe postMessage function. The way for a client to listen for the event is as follows:

    There is no minimum valuation threshold set per API key. We can configure this to your requirements.

    Valuation Widget

    The Valuation Widget offers an easy-to-configure and install instant cash offer journey for your website.

    The widget can capture leads by auto-filling vehicle information, asking key questions and making a conditional offer informed by your preset valuation strategy.

    It is highly customisable to your dealership brand or corporate imagery requirements, feeling at home on your existing website.

    The resulting leads are deployed over email or select LMS providers depending on your region.

    You can find an example of the valuation widget operating on the. For a more brand / corporate imagery-compliant implementation refer to

    Speak to your sales rep about your desired implementation pattern. We will supply you with staging and production iFrame url code as part of your deployment process.

    You have two options to embed the iframe inside your website. In both these options, it is critical that you set the iframe width to 650px and centred.

    Popup - holding the iframe in a popup container and ensuring you conform to the AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_HIDE to event listening to close the popup container and AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_DIMENSIONS resize the height dynamically.

    On Page - holding the iframe on a page ensuring you let us know so we can remove the close button. Since the page can still extend vertically you need to respond to the AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_DIMENSIONS alert.

    The valuation widget will send messages you need to pay attention to via the iframe postMessage function. The messages are as follows.

    AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_SUCCESS

    The widget loaded successfully, no intervention is needed.

    AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_ERROR

    There was an exception or error delivering the iframe contents.

    AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_HIDE

    The close button at the end of the workflow or close X in the interface has been pressed.

    AUTOGRAB_VALUATION_DIMENSIONS

    The iframe has resized due to changed in the contents. Please respond by resizing the iframe container to hold the new contents without cropping.

    Registration Plate Search

    Find vehicle information from a registration plate.

    Overview

    The Vehicle Registration API allows you to search for a vehicle by supplying its number plate. The request requires a region, the state (dependent on region), number plate & API key. This will return either a matching vehicle with possible option packs, or a null.

    In all cases, and importantly if a matching vehicle is unable to be identified, we will return the upstream_vehicle field allowing you to identify how the relevant road transport authority describes the vehicle. Depending on your use case you may wish to allow front-end users to manually classify the vehicle using the upstream_vehicle as a guide to fill out a Facet-style search.

    curl "https://api.autograb.com.au/v2/vehicles/registrations/{number_plate}?region=nz"
    -H 'ApiKey: {API_KEY}'

    That would produce the payload below.

    Components

    Success - this denotes the outcome of the lookup, if this is not true there are several possible reasons. The plate does not exist, was entered incorrectly or the registration authority could be experiencing an outage ().

    Vehicle - this is the array that holds the vehicle data as a result of our matching operation. If Vehicle:Null then we have not been able to identify a matching vehicle. If this is powering a front end UX, you should prompt the user to search via to resolve to an vehicle ID. You can use the Upstream_Vehicle below as a UI guide.

    Upstream_Vehicle - this is what the Registration Authority has told us the vehicle is. We use this input to match our catalogue.

    ID - this is the platform ID of the vehicle, your gateway to leveraging this vehicle in future , and more requests.

    Summary Data - you will find basic information about the vehicle that you can use to power your UX. If you require more information that is in the Vehicle array consider usage of endpoints.

    Options - these are fittable (not fitted) options available on this vehicle. If you require fitted (from factory data) use the endpoint.

    Confidence - this is the prediction confidence of the match. There are two types of output for this parameter (Standard and degraded).

    Additional Vehicle - if there are additional lower confidence matches we will show them to you here.

    You can pass in features to request additional data to be sent in the response. Refer to the section for more information.

    This feature will show you additional results at lower-quality matches. Only use this if you would like to see other vehicles that are not likely to be the one you are requesting. Use headerprefer_more_results=true to request this response.

    Stock Feeds

    Pipe your stock feed into a range of AutoGrab products.

    Your organisation will need at least one stock feed before uploading stock to the platform.

    To create a stock feed, make a single POST request to the following Autograb API:

    POST /v2/stock?region=nz

    Sample response:

    The stock feed ID is required to post stock items to Autograb. Please note the stock feed is linked to your API key, so you will need to use the same API key when posting stock items to the stock feed.

    Stock items must be posted in a format that complies with the Stock item schema:

    Market Overlay

    Get a view of the market as it relates to a specific vehicle.

    The Sourcing API allows you to access lead and listing data from a variety of used car marketplaces.

    When viewing a lead on the web app, a view of similar leads that are currently listed for sale or recently sold is available on the side of the page (the 'Market Overlay'). The Market Overlay API gives you programmatic access to this data, enabling you to show price justifications or re-create our market comparison view for your own purposes.

    To access a Market Overlay, you will need to specify a Vehicle ID to search for relevant listings. To retrieve a Vehicle ID, use any of the .

    When retrieving market data for an Vehicle ID, a best-effort attempt is made to find at least four listings. This search begins by looking at the latest 60 days, and if there is not enough data in this time period, another 10 days of data is added until the minimum quota of four is reached.

    If you would like a larger sample of market data, you can specify a minimum_days value, and this will override the default minimum of 60 days.

    Valuation Features

    Enhance your requests with additional data.

    You can request more data than the standard payload by leveraging a range of features described below.

    Max Offer - Retail Base

    This feature will return your max configuration in your valuation with the final price showing the deductions from the retail valuation. Use features=max_offer to receive this payload. Read more on how to set and update your .

    Max Offer - Trade Base

    This feature will return your max configuration in your valuation with the final price showing the deductions from the trade valuation. Use both features=max_offer_trade,max_offer to receive this payload. Read more on how to set and update your .

    To post a stock item, make a single POST request to the following Autograb API:

    POST /v2/stock/{stock_feed_id}/{external_dealership_id}/{external_id}?region=nz

    The post payload should be the stock item payload, as detailed above. Note that you need to provide your stock_feed_id, as well as external_dealership_id (that is, your own dealership identifier external to Autograb) and the stock item external_id (that is, your own stock item identifier, external to Autograb).

    When you post stock to Autograb, the system will overwrite any previous stock with the latest details contained in the post payload.

    Posting stock items

    Note that the system allows a single stock feed to contain stock items across multiple dealerships

    Bounds

    This feature will return the upper and lower bounds used as part of your valuation. Use features=bounds to receive this payload.

        "max_offer": {
            "reconditioning": 1250,
            "profit_margin": 3116.04,

            "admin": 150,
            "price": 20150.96
        }

    Ensure your commercial agreement has these features enabled if you require them.

    Marketplace ID Lookup

    A special use case endpoint for our marketplace customers to find their own leads on AutoGrab systems.

    Overview

    In a scenario where you want to understand the vehicle ID or data on listed vehicles, you can use the marketplace search system.

    Prerequisites to access:

    1. To be approved to access this special use case endpoint, contact your account manager.

    2. Be aware of your listing ID and use that for the marketplace_id parameter.

    3. Be aware of your marketplace identifier, it is your public domain name, e.g drive.com.au

    For example, if you were AutoTrader located in NZ with listing 808159 you could form the request below.

    You will get this response with the vehicle ID "4969003601429068" allowing you to interact with other services like the , and more.

    You are only able to search for a vehicle once it is present on our service. If you receive the error below this means we are not yet aware of the listing due to its recency.

    In this scenario, we recommend falling back to a test lookup using the title in its most descriptive format. E.g 2024 Nissan X-TRAIL Ti Wagon Ti 2.5L SUV 4WD.

    FAQ

    These are frequently asked questions about AutoGrab and our products.

    What is a VIN?

    The car's vehicle identification number (VIN) is the identifying code for a specific automobile. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications and manufacturer. The VIN can be used to track recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts and insurance coverage.

    What is an Vehicle ID?

    An AutoGrab ID or AGID is a unique identifier for a vehicle in our catalogue. All vehicles inside AutoGrab reference this as the source of metadata about the vehicle.

    Valuation Features

    Generate upper and lower bounds on each valuation.

    If you require the upper and lower bounds used to calculate a prediction you can use features=bounds.

    This will yield the bounds on the retail and trade prices.

    /v2/valuations/registrations/BMT038?features=bounds

    If you have a max offer profile setup via API or via the AutoGrab web app you can opt to receive the same results via API. Use features=max_offer to receive them in your response.

    Valuation Basics

    The Valuation API set allows you to predict current and future prices on vehicles. This API requires authentication and an appropriate license attached to it.

    Pre-Accident Valuation API Suite

    Deliver you own PAV style product by leveraging a range of AutoGrab API products.

    To deliver a PAV-style experience you can leverage existing API endpoints to deliver your desired UX. Below is a broad guide on how to achieve a similar outcome. Each integration will have nuances and specific commercial differences - don't hesitate to speak to your Integrations support person or sales executive for guidance.

    Workflow Overview

    A basic overview of the PAV-Style integration workflow

    Isolate The Vehicle ID

    To begin the journey you will need to convert a real-world identifier into an vehicle ID to progress through the wider set of data. You can do this in four common ways;

    1. Registration Plate Search - the most common identifier consumers and agents are familiar with.

    2. - for unregistered or for scenarios where a plate is not known

    3. - for scenarios where a standard identifier is not known or where the data delivered from upstream (Road Authority) is not reliable.

    For example, the response from a Registration search is below. Importantly you want to identify the ID, "id": "5932950835167232" for use in future steps.

    We offer a range of data enrichment packs to deliver more information in your registration or VIN lookups, . Consider the usage of the compliance information or vehicle age products.

    To understand the position of that vehicle in the market you would call on the y service. This would deliver you a large payload of information on the competitive set of the vehicle.

    To enrich your Overlay information we suggest employing additional features. For this use case, those are

    1. - to get all the images attached to the lead inside AutoGrab.

    2. - to get the primary detailed description of each listing for UI display purposes.

    To understand the value of the vehicle you will want to run a Valuation using the endpoint. That will give you the current retail and trade values for the vehicle. Consider employing the to understand the valuation upper and lower thresholds as part of this calculation.

    Webhooks Integration

    Receive notifications from AutoGrab system on events to power your own experiences.

    The Webhooks API allows you to configure endpoints that will receive PUSH events from AutoGrab.

    This API requires authentication and an appropriate license attached to it.

    Webhook Events

    There are several types of events that you can listen to using the Webhooks API. The names and descriptions of each of these events are included below.

    You can find example payloads for each of these events at the bottom of this page.

    Name
    Definition

    Currently, only the ping, recapture_new and price_change events are in use. You can still configure your webhooks to listen to the other events to enable these events once they are supported.

    If you need immediate access to Recapture price change and delist events for your use case, please reach out to us at info@autograb.com.au

    To set up a webhook event subscriber, you'll first need to create the webhook using the webhook API.

    You must provide a few options in the request body:

    • name: A name for the webhook. This is used for reference only.

    • region: The region that you want to subscribe to events in (nz)

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    You can explore this request further in the .

    A GET request to /v2/webhooks?region=nz will return a list of all your configured webhooks in the given region.

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    You can explore this request further in the .

    A GET request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}?region={REGION} will return the configuration of the webhook with the corresponding ID.

    The payloads are the same as the /v2/webhooks route but only a single webhook is returned instead of an array.

    If you try to access a webhook in a different region to the one specified in the request, you will receive an Invalid Region error. Additionally, accessing a webhook that your account does not have permission to view will return an You don't have permission to access that webhook error.

    If you attempt to view a webhook that doesn't exist, you will receive an Invalid Webhook ID error.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    You can explore this request further in the .

    A PATCH request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}?region={REGION} allows you to modify any of the properties of the corresponding Webhook.

    Only the fields specified in the request body will be modified, and passing a blank ("") value will remove the property from the webhook where applicable.

    The response includes the updated webhook, as well as a map of every property that changed.

    The same errors as the above (GET /v2/webhooks/${WEBHOOK_ID}) request apply, and a Request validation failed error may also be thrown if you provide any invalid Webhook Event names. Refer to the top of this page for a list of Webhook Events and their descriptions.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    You can explore this request further in the .

    A DELETE request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}?region={REGION} will permenantly delete the webhook.

    The response payload includes the configuration of the deleted webhook, as seen in the examples below.

    You may receive a small number of additional messages on your webhook's endpoint after deleting the webhook due to queued messages being sent through, but no new messages will be sent to your webhook after it has been deleted, and there is no way to recover the webhook without re-creating it.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    You can explore this request further in the .

    A POST request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}/ping?region={REGION} will send a ping event to your webhook with an example payload.

    You can't explicitly subscribe to ping events, as it is a special event type that is only sent when requested using this endpoint.

    Example

    To perform an example request:

    An example response payload is:

    You can explore this request further in the .

    Example payloads for the webhook events that are currently in use are included below.

    One of your previous price predictions has changed by (at least) the threshold defined in your valuation changes config (/valuations/changes)

    format: The format that you want the PUSH events to be sent in (Currently, only json is supported)
  • endpoint: The HTTP endpoint that you want the webhook to push to. You can include URL parameters in this to facilitate token-based auth.

  • ping

    If you use the POST /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}/ping endpoint, your webhook will be called with the ping event to test the connection.

    recapture_new

    One of your Recapture customers was spotted on a used car listing website.

    recapture_price_change

    The listing price on one of your active Recapture customers changed.

    recapture_delist

    One of your Recapture customers removed their vehicle listing - either to cancel the sale or because it has been sold.
