Data & API Overview
The AutoData open platform provides full-value-chain automotive data and API services covering vehicle basic data, new cars, used cars, auto finance, and NEV three-electric systems (traction battery, electric drive, and electronic control). This page indexes all data and interfaces by business capability, helping business owners, product managers, sales, procurement, dealership staff, and vehicle appraisers quickly locate the capability they need.
All interfaces follow a unified HTTPS + JSON calling convention. You first obtain an access_token by applying with your app_key / app_secret, then call the interface. See each interface's documentation for parameter and response details. The interfaces return vehicle information and risk clues that improve review efficiency and reduce information asymmetry, but they do not replace your own vehicle inspection, face-to-face verification, contract review, or final decisions.

Usage Boundaries
- All results are for business decision reference only and do not constitute a vehicle quality guarantee, accident-free proof, ownership proof, or insurance underwriting conclusion.
- "No data" only means there is currently no record to provide; it must not be reverse-inferred as proof that the vehicle has no accidents, transfers, or mileage anomalies.
- Final decisions on acquisition, pricing, trading, underwriting, and delivery should be made in combination with customer documents, on-site inspection, contract files, and manual review.
- Documents such as ID numbers, driving-license images, and authorization letters must be obtained with lawful authorization, used only for the permitted purpose, and properly stored and destroyed per company policy.
- For amounts, times, regions, parts, battery metrics, and mileage events, combine professional judgment from business staff; treat missing fields as "to be verified."
