pipenv install carapis-api

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from carapis import VehiclesAPIClient, CatalogFilters

# Initialize client
client = VehiclesAPIClient(
    base_url="https://api.carapis.com",
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

async def main():
    # Get vehicles with filters
    filters = CatalogFilters(
        brand_code="toyota",
        price_min=10000,
        price_max=50000,
        page_size=20
    )
    
    vehicles = await client.vehicles.list_async(**filters.to_api_params())
    
    print(f"Found {vehicles.count} vehicles")
    for vehicle in vehicles.results:
        print(f"{vehicle.year} {vehicle.brand_name} {vehicle.model_name} - ${vehicle.price}")

# Run async function
asyncio.run(main())

Synchronous Usage

from carapis import VehiclesAPIClient, CatalogFilters

# Initialize client
client = VehiclesAPIClient(
    base_url="https://api.carapis.com", 
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

# Synchronous calls
filters = CatalogFilters(brand_code="bmw", year_min=2020)
vehicles = client.vehicles.list(**filters.to_api_params())

# Get vehicle details
vehicle_detail = client.vehicles.get("vehicle-id")
print(f"Vehicle: {vehicle_detail.display_name}")

Advanced Filtering

from carapis import CatalogFilters

# Advanced search with multiple filters
filters = CatalogFilters(
    search="BMW X5",
    year_min=2020,
    body_type="suv",
    fuel_type="gasoline",
    transmission="automatic",
    mileage_max=50000,
    ordering="-price"  # Sort by price descending
)

vehicles = await client.vehicles.list_async(**filters.to_api_params())

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

from carapis import VehiclesSSRService, CatalogFilters

# Perfect for Django, FastAPI, Flask
async def get_catalog_data(request):
    filters = CatalogFilters(
        brand_code="toyota",
        page_size=20
    )
    
    catalog_data = await VehiclesSSRService.get_vehicles_for_catalog(
        filters=filters,
        page=1,
        client=client
    )
    
    return {
        'vehicles': catalog_data.vehicles,
        'total_count': catalog_data.total_count,
        'seo': VehiclesSSRService.generate_vehicle_seo(catalog_data.vehicles[0])
    }

Brand and Market Data

# Get all brands
brands = await client.brands.list_async()

# Get brand-specific data
brand_data = await VehiclesSSRService.get_brand_page_data("toyota", client=client)
print(f"Toyota has {brand_data.total_count} vehicles available")
print(f"Average price: ${brand_data.stats.average_price}")

# Market statistics
stats = await client.statistics.get_market_overview_async()
print("Market overview:", stats)

    VehiclePageData, SEOMetadata
)

# Type-safe filtering
filters = CatalogFilters(
    brand_code="toyota",
    price_min=15000,
    price_max=45000,
    body_type="sedan",
    fuel_type="hybrid"
)

# Type-safe responses
vehicles: VehiclePageData = await VehiclesSSRService.get_vehicles_for_catalog(
    filters=filters, client=client
)

# Access with full IDE support
for vehicle in vehicles.vehicles:
    print(f"{vehicle.display_name}: {vehicle.formatted_price}")
    print(f"Condition Score: {vehicle.condition_score}/100")
