Cars, motorcycles, boats & tires in one API

Advanced Vehicle API

The Advanced Vehicle API unifies four datasets — cars, motorcycles, boats and tires — behind a single required type switch (car, motorcycle, boat, tire). Browse makes and models, search specs, and resolve OEM/alternate tire fitment, all with one key.

One integration covers multiple vehicle classes: ~560 car configs, ~340 motorcycles, ~310 power boats and ~580 tire fitments. Read-only and edge-served, with a narrowing-query rule and up to 25 rows per call.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Four datasets in one: cars (~560 configs), motorcycles (~340), power boats (~310) and tire fitments (~580). You pick the dataset with a required type parameter: car, motorcycle, boat or tire.

It is the same data behind one key and one subscription, with a unified browse/search shape. If you only need one vehicle class, the standalone Car, Motorcycle, Boat or Tire APIs are cheaper; the bundle is for products that span multiple classes.

Common filters are make, model, year and q. Type-specific ones: body and fuel (car), category and fuel (boat), category (motorcycle), size (tire). Call /vehicles/v1/types to see the filters for each type.

Yes. /vehicles/v1/tires/by-vehicle?make=&model=&year= returns OEM and alternate sizes for a vehicle, the same as the standalone Tire Size API.
