Automotive Data
MarketCheck's automotive data covers 8 years of inventory across the US and Canada. Each day we crawl over 50k dealer websites to deliver the most comprehensive and up-to-date depictions of market activity available anywhere. Individual listing records show year, make, model and trim, with VIN-level histories, showing the most recent time the car showed up online back to the earliest, with every change that occurred over that time. Car types include new, used, certified, lease, auction, and private seller. Equipment breakdowns give fuel type, engine size, transmission, color, driveline and body style with links back to the VDP of the source we obtained the information from. In addition to our car inventory data, we also provide several other powerful APIs for CRM marketing scrubs, basic VIN decoding, OEM build data, recalls, dealer profiles, and market activity. If you need something else, not already covered by one of our existing automotive APIs, let us know, we might be able to build it for you.

Who Uses MarketCheck
MarketCheck is used by a broad range of companies in a number of different ways. Our data powers search portals, chat bots and many different kinds of inventory provisioning tools. But MarketCheck data is also used in some less obvious ways too, for analyzing insurance claims, populating appraisal tools or locating open recalls and tracking down stolen vehicles. Our clients span the spectrum, from the very large to the very small, and we go out of our way to produce a product that encourages creativity and innovation. If you have questions about how your project might fit in, just give us a call. We can usually advise about the best approach for your particular type of use case and we're always happy to hear about the different ways people are using the data.
Integrating the Data
MarketCheck data is made available through easy-to-integrate APIs, bulk data dumps or custom reports according to your preference. Integrating the data is fast and easy and if you're familiar with APIs you can be literally up and running within just a few minutes. But if you need a little help along the way we're always ready to jump in. For bulk applications or special uses requiring a lot of pre-processing, you may want to receive the data as a feed rather than an API. In these instances, we can set up a data dump at whatever location and schedule you may require. We prefer FTP but if you need something special just let us know. For special reports or other one-off uses just let us know what you need and we can most probably create it.
