vAuto is a Cox Automotive brand providing new and used vehicle inventory management, appraisal, pricing, and merchandising software for automotive dealers (ProfitTime GPS, Provision, Conquest, Stockwave). vAuto exposes partner-gated APIs through the Cox Automotive Integration Platform (developer.coxautoinc.com) - notably the vAuto Inventory API and the vAuto Appraisal API - that let authorized integrators programmatically read vehicle inventory, update list price, and create and access appraisals in the vAuto ecosystem. Access is not open self-service; integrators must be approved partners, authenticate via Cox Automotive Bridge ID / OAuth with an issued API key, and endpoint-level reference documentation is behind the partner developer portal login. Per-path endpoints below are modeled from the published product summaries, not copied from public reference docs.
