Two vehicles with the same model name can have different equipment, options and components. The One Auto API Vehicle Build Sheet API helps businesses understand those differences by accessing manufacturer build information and vehicle-specific specification data.
From highlighting desirable optional extras to identifying the right replacement part, build data supports decisions that require more detail than a basic vehicle decode. It helps dealers describe stock, workshops resolve configuration questions and insurers understand the equipment fitted to a vehicle.
We offer multiple endpoints depending on the manufacturer, geographic coverage and information required. You can select a service for a particular workflow or combine sources to support a broader vehicle population.
Vehicle build data coverage varies between sources. One source may provide strong coverage for your main brands, while another offers additional detail or compatibility with vehicles from other markets.
Our endpoints include a global build sheet service covering more than 40 brands, plus options focussed on European vehicles. For US vehicles, advanced VIN decoding based on window sticker data provides another route to specification and installed options for dealers, but may not provide sufficient detail for parts identification.
The best solution depends on which vehicles you process and what you need to know. We can help you choose endpoints that balance coverage, data depth and cost.
Optional extras can make a difference to a used vehicle’s appeal. Premium audio, upgraded seats, driver assistance features and other equipment may help distinguish one car from similar stock.
Without build information, these features can be missed during appraisal. A Vehicle Build Sheet API helps dealers identify equipment that deserve attention, and can increase the perceived value of inventory by giving buyers specific reasons to consider a vehicle.
A listing should help used car buyers understand the individual vehicle being offered. Generic model specifications describe standard features, build data identifies the unique features that make each used vehicle different. Build data helps retailers and marketplaces create more informative descriptions by adding vehicle-specific equipment.
Dealers can reduce the time spent checking equipment manually - bringing build data into stock management software helps teams prepare comprehensive listings, with no selling points missed.
Selecting a replacement part often requires more than make, model and year. Differences in engine, braking system, transmission, lighting or factory equipment can affect which component is suitable.
For workshops and parts providers, missing configuration information creates delays. Staff may need to contact a dealer, inspect the vehicle or ask customers for details they cannot easily supply.
Vehicle build data helps narrow down the original configuration before a part is selected. Integrated with compatible catalogues and fitment processes, it can remove identification bottlenecks and help teams progress enquiries faster.
Better identification can also reduce incorrect orders and return rates, saving handling time and helping workshops avoid delays caused by unsuitable parts.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems influence how a vehicle needs to be repaired, and can also increase the cost. Insurers need to know about increased risk at the point of quotation, and workshops at the point of repair.
Build data helps identify features such as adaptive cruise control, lane assistance and parking assistance systems, enabling insurers to identify risk, and repairers to determine how repairs should be carried out and whether recalibration is required.
Build information can assist businesses preparing P11D submissions by identifying installed options, which can then be cross referenced with list pricing.
We can help you identify build and pricing sources, while your tax calculation or submission workflow applies the relevant rules.
For used vehicle buyer reports, build data adds another layer of insight. Buyers can review the original specification alongside history, mileage and other checks, gaining a clearer understanding of the vehicle when it left the factory and any modifications it may have received since - which may in turn impact the availability, and cost of insurance.
One Auto API makes build data available for integration into dealer software, listing platforms, workshop systems, parts applications and insurance workflows.
You can request detailed information where it adds value, whether during appraisal, advert preparation, parts selection or report generation. Different endpoints can serve different brands and markets within the same application.
Contact us to discuss your Vehicle Build Sheet API requirements - we’ll help you choose the manufacturer coverage, regional compatibility and data detail needed for your workflow.

Build sheet data includes factory codes and item descriptions, often supplemented with make, model, transmission and body data.
Yes we offer a build sheet data endpoint for UK users that works from a UK VRM instead of a VIN.
A standard VIN decode confirms the technical specs of a vehicle, whereas an advanced VIN decode can identify installed options from secondary source - such as windscreen stickers in the US. Think of build sheet data as a birth certificate for a vehicle, every factory build code with a description of what it relates to.
Use cases include ADAS/risk identification for insurers, option identification for dealers and remarketing platforms, aftermarket parts identification, and buyer reports.
Yes, we provide build data for high volume quotes and inventory processing use cases - as well as single vehicle enquiries during appraisals or when preparing parts orders.
