FAQs

I was notified that my API key is being disabled. Why?

As our API developer base has grown, an increasing amount of our engineering resources have been required to support the open API Program, and thereby diverted from our business. To refocus our engineering efforts and to better align ourselves with the evolving needs of our car shoppers, dealers and automotive advertisers, we are retiring our open API Program. You can read our full announcement here.

Are there any exceptions to Edmunds’ decision to retire the open API program?

No. Going forward, access to our data and other information will be limited to select strategic partners, service providers, dealers and automotive advertisers to the extent consistent with our overall business strategy.
