Overview

This API identifies and describes vehicles from an image. Its main objective is to provide an automatic and detailed analysis of the detected car, recognizing its make, model, estimated year, type, predominant color, visual condition, and other relevant external characteristics.

When an image is sent to the endpoint, the system processes the photograph using neural networks trained on millions of images of vehicles of different makes and models. The result includes a comprehensive report with structured information that is easy to integrate into applications or platforms.

In short, this API converts a simple image into an intelligent vehicle analysis, providing accurate visual and technical information. Thanks to its combination of artificial intelligence and image processing, it simplifies the processes of identifying, verifying, and classifying cars with a high degree of reliability and easy integration into any modern application.

Car Data Capture API FAQs

The Vehicle Analyzer endpoint returns detailed information about a vehicle, including its make, model, estimated year, type, color, condition, exterior features, visible modifications, damages, confidence level, and additional notes.

Key fields in the response include "make," "model," "year," "type," "color," "condition," "exteriorFeatures," "visibleModifications," "damages," "confidence," and "additionalNotes," providing a comprehensive overview of the analyzed vehicle.

The response data is structured in a JSON format, with a top-level object containing "status," "message," and "result." The "result" object includes detailed vehicle attributes, making it easy to parse and integrate into applications.

The endpoint provides information on vehicle make, model, year, type, color, condition, external features, modifications, damages, and a confidence level, offering a thorough analysis for identification and verification.

Data accuracy is maintained through the use of advanced neural networks trained on millions of vehicle images, ensuring reliable identification and analysis based on visual features and conditions observed in the input image.

Typical use cases include vehicle identification for dealerships, insurance assessments, inventory management, and enhancing applications that require vehicle recognition and classification based on images.

Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into applications for vehicle verification, creating detailed reports, or enhancing user experiences in automotive platforms, leveraging the structured information for various functionalities.

Users can expect consistent data patterns, such as high confidence levels for well-defined vehicles and detailed descriptions for common makes and models, while less common vehicles may yield lower confidence and fewer details.

The Vehicle Analyzer endpoint primarily accepts an image file of the vehicle for analysis. Users should ensure the image is clear and captures the vehicle's exterior features for optimal results.

Users can customize their requests by providing images from different angles or with varying lighting conditions to enhance the accuracy of the analysis. However, the API does not support additional parameters beyond the image input.

The "confidence" field indicates the reliability of the analysis, while "condition" describes the vehicle's physical state. "ExteriorFeatures" lists notable characteristics, and "damages" highlights any visible issues, providing a comprehensive overview.

The API employs advanced neural networks trained on millions of vehicle images, ensuring high-quality analysis. Continuous updates and retraining of models help maintain accuracy and reliability in vehicle identification.

If the API returns partial or empty results, users should verify the image quality and ensure it clearly depicts the vehicle. Adjusting the image angle or lighting may improve the analysis outcome in subsequent requests.

The API is designed to analyze a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs, across various makes and models. It is applicable globally, but results may vary based on the vehicle's visibility and features in the image.

Users can expect high confidence levels for well-known makes and models, with detailed descriptions. Lesser-known vehicles may yield lower confidence and fewer details, reflecting the model's training data and image clarity.

General FAQs

To obtain your API key, first sign in to your account and navigate to the API you want to use. From the API's Pricing section, choose a plan and complete the subscription process. Once subscribed, return to the API page and you will see your API Access Key displayed at the top of the documentation page. You can use this key to authenticate your requests.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies.

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:

x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.

The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
