Static Data API
Access Vehicle Static Data
The Static Data API(Beta) enables you to perform build information lookups for vehicles in your fleet. The data is provided by DAT Group and we offer the convenience of retrieving the information via our platform:
Set up your app container to use your DAT SilverDAT license details
Use our OAuth2 endpoint to receive an Access Token for endpoint authentication
Call the build information endpoint by passing in the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Receive the valuation of the vehicle by using the valuation endpoint
The JSON response provides core build information about your vehicle
PRODUCTION APPLICATIONS
Note that you can only perform lookups in your live data container. Please get in touch with us on [email protected] in order to start the activation process.
Prerequisites
Lookups for VINs in most European countries are supported today. In order for you to use this service, you will need a DAT SilverDAT license. For new customers, please get in touch with us in [email protected] and we facilitate this process for you.
In order for us to perform the activation, we will configure your app container with your DAT SilverDat customer details.
BILLING
Each lookup will count against your billing account in SilverDAT and will be invoiced directly by DAT.
