# Copart & IAAI Vehicle Listings API

Find active auction vehicles in the USA and Canada with **CarStat**. Access structured data collected from publicly accessible Copart and IAAI listings, including vehicle specifications, photos, mileage, damage information, auction dates, and available prices.

Built for **vehicle import companies, brokers, sourcing teams, and developers**, this API helps you search inventory, research individual vehicles, keep your own catalog updated, and build automotive analytics and AI applications.

## Search active auction vehicles

Browse active listings and narrow the results to the vehicles that matter to your business.

Search using optional filters for:

- Manufacturer, model, and generation.
- Production year and vehicle specifications.
- Mileage and available prices.
- Location and auction source.
- Damage, vehicle condition, and other auction attributes.

Select Copart or IAAI using the source filter, or browse the sources available to your account. Paginated responses let you retrieve inventory in manageable batches.

## Access detailed vehicle and auction information

Depending on the source and listing, records can include:

- **Identification:** VIN, source lot number, source platform, and internal record IDs.
- **Specifications:** manufacturer, model, generation, year, body type, engine, fuel, transmission, and drivetrain.
- **Condition:** recorded mileage, damage descriptions, vehicle condition, key availability, and document/title information.
- **Media:** available vehicle photos and other listing media.
- **Auction details:** auction dates, locations, selling branches, seller information, and listing status.
- **Prices:** available current bids, Buy Now prices, final bids, and price-history entries.
- **Timestamps:** collection updates and available price, auction-date, and archive timestamps.

A vehicle can have multiple associated auction listings. Each listing retains its own source, identifiers, and available auction information.

## Research vehicles by VIN or lot number

Look up an individual vehicle using its VIN or source lot number. These endpoints search available active and archived listings, helping you inspect collected auction records and available price history.

Use vehicle lookups for sourcing checks, comparison tools, internal research dashboards, and customer inquiries.

The lot-number lookup supports both `copart_com` and `iaai_com`.

## Keep your inventory updated

Combine active inventory with update and archive feeds to maintain your vehicle catalog:

1. Retrieve active vehicles to build your initial catalog.
2. Request recently updated vehicles to collect changes.
3. Retrieve archived listings to identify source listings that are no longer active.
4. Update records by their identifiers and periodically reconcile your catalog.

Retrieve the full active vehicle inventory by calling `/cars` without the optional `minutes` parameter. Browse all result pages to access all active vehicles available to your account.

To synchronize changes after the initial import, add `minutes` to retrieve recently updated records. This optional filter supports update windows of up to 72 hours. The 72-hour limit applies only to this filter — it does not limit the vehicle inventory you can retrieve.

## Build automotive analytics and AI applications

Access stored statistics grouped by supported vehicle attributes and source platform, including listing counts and available average, minimum, and maximum final-bid values.

Combine these aggregates with vehicle specifications and listing records to build:

- Vehicle comparison dashboards.
- Auction market research tools.
- Sourcing and inventory analysis.
- AI-assisted vehicle search.
- Applications that organize and summarize collected vehicle information.

Statistics describe the collected dataset. They are not live auction quotes or guaranteed vehicle valuations.

## 13 endpoints for your integration

| Endpoint | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `GET /cars` | Search active vehicle listings with optional filters. |
| `GET /search-vin/{vin}` | Look up a vehicle by its stored VIN. |
| `GET /search-lot/{lot}/{domain}` | Look up a vehicle by source lot number and platform. |
| `GET /manufacturers/{type}` | Retrieve manufacturer names and catalog IDs. |
| `GET /models/{manufacturer_id}/{type}` | Retrieve models for a manufacturer. |
| `GET /generations/{model_id}/{type}` | Retrieve model generations and available production-year ranges. |
| `GET /archived-lots` | Retrieve listings marked as archived. |
| `GET /statistics` | Retrieve stored vehicle and auction statistics. |
| `GET /usa/damages` | Retrieve auction damage descriptions. |
| `GET /usa/states` | Retrieve US states or Canadian provinces. |
| `GET /usa/cities/{state_id}` | Retrieve cities for a state or province. |
| `GET /usa/titles` | Retrieve auction document/title descriptions. |
| `GET /usa/branches` | Retrieve Copart and IAAI auction branches. |

All endpoints use **GET** and return **JSON**. Catalog and location dictionaries help you build filters with the IDs and values used by the API.

## Getting started

### Base URL

```
https://prod.api.market/api/v1/carstat/copart-iaai-api
```

### Authentication

Every request needs your API.market key in the `x-api-market-key` header. You can find it in the API Keys section of your dashboard after subscribing. No other credential is required.

### Search active listings

```bash
curl 'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/carstat/copart-iaai-api/cars?per_page=2' \
  -H 'x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

Each result carries the vehicle record plus a `lots` array. A lot holds `lot`, `domain`, `odometer`, `bid`, `buy_now`, `final_bid`, `status`, `damage`, `title`, `location`, `sale_date` and `images`.

### Look up one vehicle

```bash
curl 'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/carstat/copart-iaai-api/search-vin/KNAGM4A77D5392566' \
  -H 'x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

```bash
curl 'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/carstat/copart-iaai-api/search-lot/54372186/copart_com' \
  -H 'x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

### Browse the catalog

The `{type}` segment accepts `cars`, `motorcycles` or `all`.

```bash
curl 'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/carstat/copart-iaai-api/manufacturers/cars' \
  -H 'x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

Chain the catalog endpoints to narrow a search: take a `manufacturer_id` from `/manufacturers/{type}`, pass it to `/models/{manufacturer_id}/{type}`, then pass a `model_id` to `/generations/{model_id}/{type}`. Use the resulting ids as `manufacturer_id`, `model_id` and `generation_id` filters on `/cars`.

### Reference data

`/usa/states`, `/usa/cities/{state_id}`, `/usa/damages`, `/usa/titles` and `/usa/branches` return the lookup tables behind the auction fields. Reference responses are paginated with `current_page` and `data`.

```bash
curl 'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/carstat/copart-iaai-api/usa/states' \
  -H 'x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

## Data availability

Information reflects the latest data collected by our service. Coverage varies by source, vehicle, and listing; some fields may be unavailable.

An active listing does not guarantee that bidding is currently open. An archived listing does not necessarily indicate a completed sale.

Current bids, Buy Now prices, final bids, and historical prices are separate values. Check their timestamps and source context before using them. Monetary values do not include currency conversion, auction fees, shipping, duties, or other import costs.

## Independent information collection service

We provide an **independent, unofficial service**. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the source platforms or their trademark owners. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

We collect, organize, and process information that is publicly accessible at the time of collection. Fees cover these services and API access, rather than the sale of the information itself.

Before publicly displaying or redistributing data, we recommend obtaining appropriate republication rights directly from the relevant copyright owners. API access does not grant those rights.

For integration questions, data inquiries, or support, contact us through **API.market messages**.
