Auto Parts APIs That Put the Right Part in Every Cart
A customer orders a part, waits for delivery, and then discovers it doesn't fit. Auto parts APIs help you prevent these mix-ups by identifying the vehicle and narrowing the search to relevant parts.
Our Suite of Auto Parts APIs
Each API handles one job in the parts journey. Use them together for a complete solution, or start with the ones you need most.
| What You Need | API | What Your Business Gets |
|---|---|---|
| Identify the vehicle | VIN Decoder, License Plate and OCR APIs | Exact year, make, model, trim and engine from a VIN, plate or photo |
| Find the right headlight assembly | Headlight Assembly API | Retrieve available part numbers, part names, and descriptions for headlight assemblies associated with a vehicle. |
| Confirm compatibility | Vehicle Specifications API | The engine details, dimensions and features that decide fitment |
| Recommend smarter | Fuel Economy API and Electric Vehicle Specifications API | Fuel efficiency data for suggesting efficiency-focused tires, filters and oils, plus battery and range details for EV and hybrid listings |
| Protect the sale | Warranty, Technical Service Bulletins and Recalls APIs | Coverage and known-issue information that helps customers buy with confidence |
| Grow service revenue | Maintenance and Vehicle Services APIs | Service data for suggesting the right parts and connecting customers with providers |
API availability and returned fields can vary. Confirm coverage for your target vehicles and use case during testing.

Why Auto Parts Businesses Choose Vehicle Databases
Vehicle Databases has the vehicle and parts information you need to work smarter, not harder.
Fewer Wrong-Part Returns
Most returns originate with a poorly identified vehicle. Our APIs identify the exact vehicle first, so you show only parts that fit.
This results in fewer returns and exchanges, fewer support calls, and lower shipping and restocking costs.Faster Search, Higher Conversion
Let customers search the way they prefer: by VIN, license plate, a photo of either, or year, make and model.
A "fits your vehicle" confirmation on every single product page removes the doubt that stops people from making a purchase.Less Manual Catalog Work
Vehicle specifications and part data arrive automatically, so your team spends less time keying in fitment details.
This creates a cleaner catalog and more correct supplier orders.More trust, More Repeat Customers
Repeat business occurs when the right part is selected on the first try. Adding warranty, recall, and service bulletin data turns your store into the place to research as well as shop.
One Provider, a Full Suite of APIs
Pick the APIs you need today, such as VIN decoding and parts lookup, and add more as you grow. Every API comes from one provider, with one set of documentation and one team to call.

FAQs on Auto Parts APIs
Which APIs do you offer for auto parts companies?
We offer a suite of vehicle data APIs that covers the parts journey: VIN, license plate and OCR APIs to identify the vehicle, a Car Parts API for OEM part numbers, and drawings, vehicle specifications and fuel economy data to confirm compatibility, and warranty, recall and service bulletin APIs to support the sale.Â
Pick one or all, depending on what your company does.
Do you offer a headlight assembly API?
Yes. We have a Headlight Assembly API to allow you to search headlight assemblies for particular vehicles and return parts relevant for that vehicle.
How can I reduce returns from wrong parts?
The vehicle must be correctly identified before parts are shown, and only those parts that will fit should be shown. Most of the wrong-part returns start from an incorrectly identified vehicle.
Do you offer fuel economy data?
Yes. We have a Fuel Economy API. We supply fuel efficiency data per vehicle, and this can be used to recommend parts or even for comparisons of vehicles.
Can I use only the APIs I need?
Yes. Each API works on its own, so you can start with VIN decoding and parts lookup and add others as your business grows.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Start a free trial and test the APIs with your own catalog before you decide.
