We are continuously working on expanding our API functionality, so stay tuned!\n\n**Data Source**\n\nThe data is sourced from over 53,000 Car dealer websites in USA and over 3600 dealer websites in Canada. \n\nThere are about 6.2M searchable listings (about 2.2M unique VINs) for Used & Certified cars and about 6.6M (about 3.9M unique VINs) New car listings from all over USA. \n\nFor Canada, there are about 200k Used cars listings and 290k New car listings available via the API.\n\nThe active inventory set available on target websites is refreshed once every 24 hours. All websites are tracked for changes to the inventory and only those listings that have changes published are crawled afresh.\n\n**Autobot**\n\nThe data is mined from dealer websites, something that a dealer would not mind. Our bot is known by the name \"Autobot\" and is a polite web scraper respecting the robots.txt rules set across all dealer websites.\n\nPlease note, mining from all target websites is actively monitored and data mining issues are actively fixed. There are always 2-3% websites that will be under maintenance for various reasons and inventory coverage from such sites wont be complete. Our operations and support teams actively monitor such sites and fixes them within 48 hours of the discovery.\n\nAuthentication\n===================\nThe Developer API uses a token based authentication. You have to include the token in the querystring of every request. The token parameter is named as `api_key` Each Marketcheck API user can generate API keys and can have multiple valid tokens at the same time. \n\nTo generate an API token, please Sign up at our developer portal at <a href=\"https://developer.marketcheck.com\" target=\"_blank\">http://developer.marketcheck.com</a> \n\nOnce signed up you can register you app/s and subscribe to the usage packs based on your usage requirements. If you are just starting out, the free Evaluation pack is best suited for you. Evaluation packages do not need prior approvals, but all other packages require approvals and you need to send an email to api@marketcheck.com once you request higher packages via your developer portal account.\n\nYou'll need to generate an API key to make an API Request.\n\nTesting via Postman\n===================\nYou could import the API in the Postman app and execute the sample API calls described below via Postman to get a good feel of the API.\n\nPlease follow the following steps to set up Postman for the API \n1.
