Dealer.com

Dealer.com, a Cox Automotive brand, builds automotive dealership websites, digital advertising, and digital marketing technology used by thousands of franchise and independent dealers across North America. Its integration surface is partner-gated: third parties embed experiences on dealer sites through the Dealer.com Website Integration API and the Integrated Partner Program, while inventory, leads, deal, and digital-retail data flow through the broader Cox Automotive Integration Platform (developer.coxautoinc.com), which uses OAuth (Okta) and requires an approved partner agreement. Dealer.com does not publish an open, self-serve public API; the endpoints modeled here are logical groupings of the partner capabilities, not a documented public surface.

Dealer.com publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Automotive, Dealership, Digital Marketing, Website Platform, and Inventory.

Dealer.com’s developer surface includes documentation, product news, and 9 more developer resources.
