x-authored-note: Edmunds publishes no OpenAPI for its Vehicle API. This document was written from the Edmunds developer portal — the endpoint tables and worked examples at https://developer.edmunds.com/api-documentation/overview/ and https://developer.edmunds.com/api-documentation/vehicle/ — and the repository history records it as "a best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 spec generated from documentation". It sat in openapi/_original/ until 2026-09-06, where its location asserted that Edmunds had served it. Edmunds did not. It covers 5 of roughly 20 documented Vehicle API resources and none of the Editorial, Dealer or Media APIs. The one contract Edmunds does serve is openapi/_original/edmunds-cars-openapi.yaml, harvested from https://api.edmunds.com/openapi.yaml.
