Client integrations

Authorized export access, fast and easy.

CarChief Integrations API gives your system read-only access to the export snapshots of your dealership data.

Built for secure dealership data delivery

Dealership-scoped

Every API key is limited to an explicit set of dealerships and export profiles.

API key authentication

Send your issued key in the X-API-Key header. Keep it in your secrets manager.

Short-lived downloads

Each authorized dealership receives its own time-limited download URL. Data never passes through the API response.
