Frequently asked.

A UK API for evidence-backed car-part cross-references, DVLA vehicle lookup and fitment data. You authenticate with an API key and call /api/v1 endpoints from counter software, garage management systems or your own tools.

Trade and platform builders: independent garages, bodyshops, car dealers, fleets, GMS vendors and anyone embedding parts data. A supplier marketplace is on the waitlist — join via the contact page.

We ship a cross-reference graph, not a shopping cart. Every match can cite its source, fitment is scoped with DVLA-backed vehicle data where applicable, and the product you buy today is API access — not RFQ, ordering or success fees.

United Kingdom. Vehicle and account data is stored in UK or EU regions. We are GDPR compliant and happy to sign customer DPAs.

Register an account, open the API section in your dashboard, and generate a key. You can manage separate keys for production and staging. Requests use Bearer token auth — not OAuth.

Yes. Every new account gets 100 free API requests. No card required.

Core paths live under /api/v1/: part resolution, DVLA vehicle lookup, fitment, part types, vehicle types, bulk resolve (Workshop Pro+), part groups (Workshop Pro+) and part feedback. See the API services page for examples.

One call to one endpoint counts as one request. Bulk resolve counts as one request for the batch (up to 100 numbers per call on Workshop Pro and above).

Not at present. The shipped product is request/response REST under /api/v1 with API key auth. If you need push-style integrations, contact us and we can discuss roadmap.

Trial: 100 free requests. Garage: £49/month for 1,000 requests (resolve + DVLA lookup). Workshop Pro: £149/month for 10,000 requests with bulk resolve and fitment/part-group data. Platform: £499/month for fair-use unlimited volume, IP allowlisting and a 99.9% SLA.

You are notified around 80% of your limit. Beyond the limit, requests return HTTP 429 until you upgrade or the period resets.

Yes — contact sales for custom pricing above roughly 100,000 requests per month or for SLA-backed enterprise deployments.

No unlimited free buyer search marketplace is live. Access today is via the API trial and paid plans.

Not yet. Ordering, RFQ workflows and success-fee supplier routing are not live. Embed the API for lookup and resolution; supplier marketplace access is waitlist-only via /contact.

Yes. That is the primary product. Call /api/v1 from your GMS, counter terminal or fleet tooling with an API key.

Pass a VRM (DVLA-backed for cars) or vehicle type context with a part type. Workshop Pro and Platform include fitment and part-group endpoints so you can scope results to the right vehicle.

Matches can carry cited evidence and confidence. You can also submit part feedback via the API so future confidence scores improve.

The supplier marketplace is not live. Join the waitlist on the contact page. There is no live success-fee or per-order commercial model yet.

Yes. Use the API to enrich catalogues — resolve OEM and aftermarket equivalents, attach evidence-backed cross-references and validate fitment — while marketplace selling remains on the waitlist.

When the marketplace launches it is intended to be additive. Today there is no live order routing to compete with.

UK or EU regions, depending on the customer. We do not transfer personal data outside the UK / EEA without an adequate safeguard in place.

VRM lookups are logged for fraud prevention and auditing, retained on a least-privilege basis. We do not sell lookup data and we do not log raw DVLA responses at info level.
