CarGurus

CarGurus is an automotive shopping and dealer marketing platform that connects car shoppers with franchise and independent dealers through data-driven listings, its Instant Market Value (IMV) deal ratings, and dealer reviews. For developers and partners, CarGurus publishes a small set of documented HTTP APIs under /Cars/api/ - an open Car Selector API for building new/used search widgets, and partner/dealer-gated APIs for Instant Market Value, dealer reviews, and dealer performance statistics (leads, VDPs, SRPs, impressions). Dealer inventory itself is ingested through inventory feeds (feed providers / IMT), not a documented public pull API, and leads are delivered to dealer CRMs rather than exposed as a public REST endpoint.

CarGurus publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Car Selector API, Dealer Reviews API, Dealer Stats API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Automotive, Marketplace, Car Listings, Dealer, and Vehicle Pricing.

CarGurus’ developer surface includes documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, and 7 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of CarGurus, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
