Quickstart

Make your first request in about two minutes. The API is plain HTTPS and JSON, so any language works.

1. Get an API key

Create an account, verify your email, then open API keys in the console and create a key. It is shown once, so store it somewhere safe, such as an environment variable.

2. Call an endpoint

The base URL is https://api.autoparse.io. Send your key in the x-api-key header.

cURL
curl "https://api.autoparse.io/v1/vin/decode/2G1FK1EJ6A9133857" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AUTOPARSE_API_KEY"

3. Read the response

Successful responses are JSON (or a document, for endpoints that return files) with a 200 status. Every response includes billing and rate-limit headers:

Never put your API key in browser or mobile app code. Call Autoparse from your server and expose only the data you need to your clients.
