TheCarApi Market intelligence API is one of 11 APIs that [TheCarApi](https://apis.io/providers/thecarapi/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Market Intelligence. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Precomputed price snapshots for a brand, model, and year window — one for the Bulgarian retail market, one for our own auction inventory. Scope: market. Neither is enabled on a new key by default; ask for them. Both are read-only lookups into snapshots built by a pipeline on its own schedule. A 404 therefore means "no snapshot exists for that window", which is the normal answer for a thin brand/model/year combination — not an error to retry. Neither route carries envelope metadata; read X-Request-ID from the header.
