EnCarAPI provides a REST API delivering Korean used-car market data from Encar, KB Chachacha, and K Car. Over 300,000 deduplicated vehicle listings, inspection reports, accident history, dealer information, and price history are available in real-time JSON responses. Plans start at €149/month with unlimited access to listings, photos, specifications, and market statistics, plus optional add‑ons for Chinese market data.
encarapi-com publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Archive API, Catalog API, Discovery API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Automotive, Data, Korean, Cars, and API.
The encarapi-com catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
encarapi-com’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, pricing, support, and 20 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling+7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Typed Event Surface+6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Documented Reversibility+6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document+5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's
3 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
