How to integrate the DealerPricing API

From signup to your first live request in five steps. Sandbox is free; live keys are unlocked with a starter plan or pay-as-you-go top-up.

  1. 1

    Sign up for a developer account

    Create a free developer account at /developer/signup. Sandbox keys are issued immediately.

  2. 2

    Verify your email for live keys

    Email verification is required before live (paid) API keys can be issued. Sandbox keys work straight away for testing.

  3. 3

    Read the documentation

    Authentication, request shape and response shape for every endpoint are documented at /developer/docs.

  4. 4

    Run your first request

    Use the test console at /developer/test to make a request live in the browser, or use cURL / your preferred HTTP client.

  5. 5

    Top up and go live

    Add credit to your account and switch from sandbox to live keys. £99/month starter plan unlocks the live endpoints; pay-as-you-go for top-ups.
