Querying cars
In order to see all cars in our car database you can use the carList query. To create fast front-ends, you are allowed to cache the carList query response. We recommend you query the carList at least once a day, never to miss an update. You can see a live example of this query including all available output parameters here.
Query
To query the cars in your database, you only need to call the carList alongside the paramaters you would like to receive. Optionally you can add pagination and filters.
Filters
To filter your car list you can use the query argument. You can use the make to filter on a specific make, Tesla for example. Or filter on size, to specify the amount of cars you would like to receive. The default is 10.
