What Synetiq data does the API return?

Each car on the Synetiq list as a standard car record: vehicle details, photos, location, the auction date and the current bid when Synetiq shows them, plus inspections and history reports when published.

Can I bid on Synetiq through MotorAPIs?

No. MotorAPIs only returns data. Bidding happens on Synetiq itself, under its own rules for buyers.

How do I select Synetiq in the API?

Call /domains once to read the site ID of Synetiq 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.
