Tekion is a cloud-native, AI-native automotive retail platform whose flagship Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) is a modern dealer management system (DMS) spanning sales, service, parts, inventory, F&I, accounting, and CRM for franchise dealerships and OEMs. Tekion exposes its data and workflows to technology partners through the Automotive Partner Cloud (APC) - an open, OpenAPI-standard partner API program with REST APIs and webhooks that give approved partners near real-time access to a dealership's sales, service, inventory, and parts data. APC is partner-gated: developers register at the APC portal, submit a use case, and are reviewed (typically within ~48 hours) before the API documentation dashboard, credentials, and endpoints are unlocked. Access is tiered (Standard, Enterprise/Elevated, Premium/Strategic) with different API scopes, rate limits, and read/write capabilities. Because the technical reference is behind partner authentication, the APIs below are honestly modeled by data domain rather than transcribed from a public spec.
