Beta

AutoUncle Data Services is in beta. The API, MCP tools and agent skill may change often, including breaking changes, until version 1.0. Read the changelog before you upgrade an integration.

Catalogue

Browse the AutoUncle vehicle catalogue and get the IDs that pin a vehicle exactly. All catalogue endpoints are free, need the catalogue:read scope and share a per-minute rate limit (default 120 requests per minute per workspace). Field tables are generated from the response schemas in the OpenAPI contract, which also validate every response in the test suite.

The usual path is brand → model → generation → drivetrain. Build a catalogue picker walks through it, and vehicle catalogue explains IDs, versions and caching.

Catalogue IDs are opaque strings such as b-0957579dc5bca6de229d2f32 (brand) or dv-947a3199394a5a4b41cb2869 (drivetrain). Store them as returned; do not parse or construct them. Lists are sorted by name and are not paginated.

Search makes and models.

  • Scope: catalogue:read
  • Cost: Free.
  • Rate limit: catalogue bucket, default 120 requests per minute. See limits.
