POST Photo
Send a JPEG, PNG, or WebP (up to 10MB) with optional vehicle info and state. Get back an estimate ID.
POST /v1/estimates → 202 Poll for Result
AI detects damage, cross-references market data, and generates an itemized estimate. Average: 12 seconds.
GET /v1/estimates/:id → 200 Get JSON

Built for Any Auto Platform
One API powers damage assessment across fleet, marketplace, insurance, and repair workflows.
Fleet Management
Assess damage at vehicle check-in/check-out. Replace manual inspection calls with instant AI estimates. Automate damage cost tracking across your fleet.
Used Car Marketplace
Show buyers the true cost of visible damage. "This car has $3,200 in repair costs" changes purchasing decisions. Replace $150 per-car inspections.
Insurance Claims
Triage first-notice-of-loss claims automatically. Get a cost estimate before dispatching an adjuster. Process more claims with fewer resources.
Body Shop Software
Give your shop customers preliminary estimates before they arrive. Reduce phone tag from 30 minutes per prospect to zero.
Car Buying Apps
Add a "What will repairs cost?" feature to any listing. Help buyers make informed decisions with real cost data, not guesses.
Every number has a source.
Our estimates are grounded in real market data, not AI guesses. Every line item traces back to OEM catalogs, state labor surveys, and market research. The API response includes data_sources so you know exactly where every number comes from.
What the response includes
- Damage areas -- type, severity, location, repair method, confidence
- Cost breakdown -- OEM parts, aftermarket parts, body labor, paint labor, shop supplies
- Line items -- per-repair labor hours, rates, parts costs, paint hours
- ADAS calibrations -- systems affected, calibration type, cost per system
- Data sources -- name, type, confidence level, data point count
- Insurance format -- operation codes, part types, supplement notes (separate endpoint)
