Tools
- Check Lien and Theft Records
Retrieve reportable US lien and theft events for a VIN. A no-data response means CarsXE has no reportable record and is not proof that the vehicle is clear.
- Decode License Plate
Look up vehicle identity from a license plate using CarsXE's current global v2 decoder.
- Decode OBD Code
Translate an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code into a readable diagnosis.
- Get Recall Batch
Make exactly one read request for a CarsXE recall batch. The default status view returns current progress. The results view is available only when the batch is completed or partial and returns a bounded local page (100 rows by default, at m
- Get Vehicle History
Retrieve title, brand, junk/salvage, insurance, VIN-change, and historical title records for a VIN.
- Get Vehicle Images
Find up to 10 vehicle photos by make and model, with optional year, trim, angle, image type, size, color, quality, transparency, and license filters.
- Get Vehicle Market Value
Estimate wholesale, retail, and trade-in values for a VIN using CarsXE's current v2 valuation, optionally adjusted for state, mileage, and condition.
- Get Vehicle Recalls
Find safety recall campaigns either for one VIN or for a year, make, and model. Supply exactly one lookup method.
- Get Vehicle Specifications
Decode a 17-character VIN into vehicle identity, specifications, equipment, colors, and warranty data. International decoding is used automatically when CarsXE needs it unless explicitly disabled.
- Get Year Make Model Data
Look up detailed vehicle and trim information by year, make, and model without a VIN. Returns bounded trim summaries rather than large feature and color payloads.
- Recognize License Plate
Analyze a publicly accessible vehicle image and return license-plate candidates, regions, confidence, bounding boxes, and detected vehicle details.
- Submit Recall Batch
Create one asynchronous CarsXE recall-check batch for 1 to 10,000 VIN entries. Submission charges one Recalls Batch unit per unique valid VIN after CarsXE normalizes and deduplicates the list. The action makes one submission request and doe
Setup
- Create or open a Switchy Project.
- Open Integrations and connect CarsXE.
- Authorise through api_key. Switchy stores the connection against your org.
- Everyone in the Project can now @-mention the CarsXE tools in chat.
What teammates see: by default, memories from CarsXE are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.
