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 Grouparrow-up-right and we offer the convenience of retrieving the information via our platform:

  1. Set up your app container to use your DAT SilverDAT license details

  2. Use our OAuth2 endpoint to receive an Access Token for endpoint authentication

  3. Call the build information endpoint by passing in the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

  4. Receive the valuation of the vehicle by using the valuation endpoint

  5. The JSON response provides core build information about your vehicle
