One API.Three markets.

Used-car catalogs of Korea, China and US auctions — in one format.

Open the bot Documentation

Illustration: above the night side of the Earth, the blue node of Korea (Encar), the red node of China (Che168) and the gold node of the USA (Copart and IAAI) send streams of light into the API cube. The streams show the catalogs joining, not live network traffic.

Scroll

Used-car catalogs of Korea, China and US auctions in one format: filters, photos and a change feed. Underneath is a copy of the real catalogs, refreshed on a schedule.

Korea. Photos are the representative set from Encar search, usually four. About one car in a thousand has a VIN; the source has no transmission or engine size. Rentals and leases may show less than the full price — see raw.sell_type.

China. The source sends no VIN — the field is null, we never guess. The price is the dealer's price in yuan. Make and model names use official Latin names instead of word-by-word translations.

USA. The copy holds lots with auctions ahead, not the whole auction archive. The price is the current bid or buy-now; body type is missing on some lots. Search beyond the copy with /v1/us/live on Pro and above.

One format.Differences live in raw.

A record from Korea, China and the USA carries the same keys. Whatever only the source has stays in raw: nothing dropped, nothing invented.

From zero to the first response.

  1. 01

    A demo key in the bot

    Open the bot — the key arrives at once, with no card and no waiting for an admin. One demo per Telegram account.

  2. 02

    The first request

    Send the key in the X-API-Key header: curl, httpx, fetch or any HTTP client will do.

  3. 03

    Payment and a working plan

    Pick markets and a plan in the bot and transfer the payment — an admin confirms it, usually within a business day. The key stays the same.

Uncomfortable questions,answered first.

Where does the data come from?

Korea from the Encar catalog, China from Che168, the USA from Copart and IAAI auction lots. The catalog is our own copy on a separate server, refreshed on a schedule; catalog requests read only that copy. Only live US search (/v1/us/live) and photos not yet in our cache (/img) reach the sources at request time.

Why is there no VIN for China?

The source does not send it. The vin field is null: we never guess values. Everything the source provided stays in raw.

Why isn't the whole US auction included?

The copy holds lots whose auctions are still ahead (47,901 right now). We do not sell the archive of past auctions. Beyond the copy, /v1/us/live is available on Pro and above, with its own counter.

How is usage counted?

The catalog and the change feed count the cars returned, not requests: a response with 37 cars costs 37 records. References, usage, photos and health checks are free. The demo counts requests: 100 in a day.

Can I resell the data?

Not on regular plans: the data is for your product and your customers, not for passing on raw to third parties. Resale and full dumps need an Enterprise agreement.

My key leaked — what now?

Rotate it in the bot. The new key arrives at once and the old one keeps working for 24 hours so you can replace it. The quota is not reset.

Can I get a refund?

Access opens after the payment is confirmed by hand; refunds follow the offer you accept before paying. If your case is unusual, message the bot before paying.
