A Car Specification API returns technical and standard specification fields from registration mark, VIN or by search using make, model and derivative. One Auto API makes that data available through one integration alongside vehicle history and valuation endpoints.

Turn Vehicle Details into Better Listings and Smarter Decisions

Give your applications the vehicle information needed to answer practical questions, identify the right configuration and present stock more effectively. The One Auto API Car Specification API brings together technical specifications, standard equipment, cost options and vehicle build data to support automotive websites and business software.

From helping a buyer find a car with sufficient towing capacity to helping a workshop identify a component, specification data makes vehicle records more useful. It also helps retailers explain the features that distinguish their inventory.

We offer different sources for the UK, US and other markets, complemented by extensive global build data capabilities. You can select the coverage and depth your workflow requires.

Support accurate vehicle and parts identification

A make and model name rarely tells the whole story. Vehicles within the same range can have different engines, transmissions, dimensions and equipment, affecting both their suitability and the components they use.

Technical data helps businesses distinguish between these configurations. Workshops can use it to establish the vehicle they are servicing, while parts providers can connect relevant attributes with their catalogues and fitment processes.

Where variant-level specifications are insufficient, build sheet data can provide additional depth of data about the individual vehicle. Combining identification, technical and build data helps teams resolve questions earlier, reducing manual investigation and the risk of selecting an unsuitable part.

Populate listings that answer buyer questions

Buyers want to know whether a vehicle fits their lives. Will it tow their caravan? Is the boot large enough? Does it have the performance, seating or equipment they need?

A Car Specification API helps classified sites and retailers answer these questions within the listing. Structured technical information can make descriptions more complete without requiring a dealer to enter every detail manually.

Dimensions, engine information, transmission, performance and other available attributes give buyers a clearer basis for comparison. More informative listings can reduce uncertainty and help enquiries begin with a better understanding of the vehicle.

We work with software providers and classified sites to enrich inventory at scale, creating consistent records across large volumes of stock.

Drive more useful vehicle searches and filters

Specification data also improves how buyers discover vehicles. Rather than searching only by make, model and price, users can narrow results according to their requirements.

A classified platform might offer filters for seating capacity, transmission, performance or towing capability. A dealer website can help customers find vehicles with particular equipment. Fleet and leasing platforms can use technical attributes to support suitability comparisons.

Consistent, structured data makes these experiences possible. It helps your application compare vehicles on a common basis and return results that reflect what matters to the user. Buyers can reach relevant stock faster, while retailers gain more opportunities to showcase suitable vehicles.

Add depth with standard equipment and cost options

Technical specifications describe a vehicle’s capabilities. Equipment data explains more about the experience it offers.

Standard equipment adds depth to listings by identifying features included with the relevant model or derivative. Cost options data shows equipment offered at additional cost, with pricing information where available.

This can help dealers explain the original value of factory-fitted extras and highlight features that make a vehicle attractive. However, an option being available for a model does not confirm that it was installed on an individual car.

Our build data capabilities help address that distinction, supporting more accurate identification of fitted equipment. Original option pricing provides useful context, while current used vehicle value depends on the market and other factors.

UK specifications through Solifi DataDirect

In the UK, we partner with Solifi DataDirect, a leading source of OE-researched new vehicle data used by dealer management and lease quotation systems.

Solifi provides detailed technical information, standard equipment, available options and pricing data. This supports workflows ranging from vehicle configuration and quotation to enriching used car listings.

Its IDS code links vehicles with variant-specific datasets, helping systems retrieve the relevant information consistently. Dealers, leasing providers and software businesses can use this foundation to describe vehicles, prepare quotations and support comparisons. Complementary build data can then help establish which optional features were fitted.

Advanced US specifications from window sticker data

For the US, our advanced VIN decoding is based on window sticker data, providing detailed specifications and installed options for supported vehicles.

This helps businesses move beyond a basic VIN decode to understand an individual vehicle’s configuration. Dealers can identify equipment during appraisal, buying platforms can enrich acquisition records and classified sites can create more detailed listings.

The service can also provide dealer invoice pricing, adding another reference point for commercial workflows. Combined with valuation and history data, detailed specifications give teams a richer picture of the vehicle they are assessing.

Global build data for individual vehicle detail

Our UK and US specification services are complemented by extensive build data capabilities with global coverage. These help identify installed options and original configurations where individual vehicle detail is essential.

Different endpoints suit different manufacturers, regions and tasks. Contact us to discuss your Car Specification API requirements. We’ll help you combine technical, equipment, options and build data to support your inventory, customer journeys and business workflows.

FAQ

Technical data includes engine size, transmission, weight and dimensions, fuel economy and performance - plus standard equipment and cost options.

For the UK Solifi car specification data offers a VRM lookup which returns the IDS code - this can then be used to retrieve specification data packages without incurring the cost of multiple lookups. For the US a Plate to VIN lookup can be used to retrieve the VIN, which can then be decoded using VIN Decode Plus to get the installed options and standard features.

Solifi DataDirect covers 200,000+ cars, EVs and LCV variants in the UK - down to model year level, Vehicle Data Global provides technical model data for all vehicles registered with the DVLA (excluding imports), and in the US our VIN Decode Plus is powered by windscreen sticker data.

Solifi List Price and Cost Options endpoints allow a date of registration to be passed, identifying list and option pricing at a specific point in time. Build data can be used in addition to assist in the identification of installed options.

What specification fields does the Car Specification API return?

Technical data includes engine size, transmission, weight and dimensions, fuel economy and performance - plus standard equipment and cost options.

Can I retrieve specifications from a registration mark?

For the UK Solifi car specification data offers a VRM lookup which returns the IDS code - this can then be used to retrieve specification data packages without incurring the cost of multiple lookups. For the US a Plate to VIN lookup can be used to retrieve the VIN, which can then be decoded using VIN Decode Plus to get the installed options and standard features.

Which data sources back the specification data?

Solifi DataDirect covers 200,000+ cars, EVs and LCV variants in the UK - down to model year level, Vehicle Data Global provides technical model data for all vehicles registered with the DVLA (excluding imports), and in the US our VIN Decode Plus is powered by windscreen sticker data.

How do I get list-price (MRRP) data for the vehicle and its options on a specific date for P11D reporting?

Solifi List Price and Cost Options endpoints allow a date of registration to be passed, identifying list and option pricing at a specific point in time. Build data can be used in addition to assist in the identification of installed options.
