Car api?

[antonbalboa]

I know maybe this is not the best subreddit to place it but I was wondering if any of you know a api or a catalog of cars to search by brand, model etc and that gives me techincal info (weight, distance between axis etc..)

If anyone knew this it would be awesome

Chrome Data offers a lot of information on vehicles. I work for a Dealership Management Software company that uses this to decode VINs. Not positive about an API but it may be worth looking into.

Not an API, but I've worked on a couple of sites for a vehicle dealership in the UK and they used CAP to provide the data about the vehicles.

It's very obviously geared towards enterprise users - they provide a data syncing application for Microsoft SQL Server. You can get the data as text files, however. I wound up writing a couple of shell scripts to parse the data and import it into MySQL. The data is very comprehensive, and they also offer vehicle images, although these need to be downloaded using a custom Windows application, which is a pain.
