04/ 06FAQ

Questions about the BCA Europe API

What BCA Europe data does the API return?
Each car on the BCA Europe list as a standard car record: vehicle details, photos, location, the auction date and the current bid when BCA Europe shows them, plus inspections and history reports when published.
Can I bid on BCA Europe through MotorAPIs?
No. MotorAPIs only returns data. Bidding happens on BCA Europe itself, under its own rules for buyers.
How do I select BCA Europe in the API?
Call /domains once to read the site ID of BCA Europe for your key, then pass it as domains[] to /search or /cars.
How do I keep a copy in sync?
Use the /cars export: start without a cursor and follow next_url until it ends. Run it again to refresh your copy.
How can I try it?
Ask for a free demo key and tell us which sites you need. It returns real data in the same JSON as the paid plans.
