The Vehicle Data API for Developers: VIN Decoder, Plate Lookup, Market Value & More
About us
CarsXE is the vehicle data API for developers. One key gives you VIN decoding, plate-to-VIN lookup, market valuations, vehicle history, recalls, images, and more, all returned as clean, consistent JSON. Automotive SaaS platforms, fleet and roadside services, dealerships and marketplaces, repair shops, and lenders and insurers build on CarsXE instead of stitching together three to five point vendors. One key, every dataset you need as you grow. You're only billed for successful lookups. No minimum contracts, no charges for failed calls. Start in a free sandbox with 100 calls, no credit card, and move to production without a sales call. 275M+ vehicle records. 50+ countries covered for VIN and plate lookups. 1,000+ businesses and developers building on the API today. Ship in minutes, not weeks. Explore the docs and get your API key at carsxe.com

We rebuilt carsxe.com. Same vehicle data API. New design system — intentional color, sharp corners, one look across the site. The kit is open source: `@carsxe/design-system` on npm (MIT). We got tired of AI-slop defaults. Round buttons and purple gradients make every SaaS page look the same. Sharp and deliberate stands out.

A quarter of a million recall checks a month. Inside the AI agents. Pam runs receptionist + outbound agents across 800+ dealership rooftops. Every vehicle those agents touch gets checked for open safety recalls — on CarsXE. Outbound: continuous monitoring so the call list is “open recall right now,” not a stale export. Inbound: lookup during the call, book the recall alongside whatever they dialed about. 16× growth in recall lookups between May and July 2026. Almost every CarsXE call Pam makes is recall data. In their CEO’s words: “When a customer calls a dealership, we know they have an open recall instantly. That changes what the call is worth.”
