Implementation Notes

  • All bespoke endpoints are SOAP/ASMX like the main API.
  • Authentication uses the same username parameter as the main API, except CheckRecalledVIN which requires no authentication.
  • These endpoints may be added to, changed, or removed without notice.
  • Insurance status endpoints return a distinct response schema (Make, Model, Company, Expiry, IsInsured, Region) rather than the standard vehicleJson / vehicleData structure.
