📖 Usage

The CarsXE Java library provides methods corresponding to multiple endpoints. Below are examples for all available products:

VIN Specifications

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("vin", "WBAFR7C57CC811956");

Map<String, Object> specs = carsxe.specs(params);
System.out.println(specs);

Market Value

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("vin", "WBAFR7C57CC811956");

Map<String, Object> marketValue = carsxe.marketvalue(params);
System.out.println(marketValue);

Vehicle History

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("vin", "WBAFR7C57CC811956");

Map<String, Object> history = carsxe.history(params);
System.out.println(history);

License Plate Decoder

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("plate", "7XER187");
params.put("state", "CA");
params.put("country", "US");

Map<String, Object> plateInfo = carsxe.platedecoder(params);
System.out.println(plateInfo);

License Plate Image Recognition

String imageUrl = "https://api.carsxe.com/img/apis/plate_recognition.JPG";

Map<String, Object> plateRecognition = carsxe.plateImageRecognition(imageUrl);
System.out.println(plateRecognition);

VIN OCR from Image

String imageUrl = "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5663423/30922082-64edb4fa-a3a8-11e7-873e-3fbcdce8ea3a.png";

Map<String, Object> vinOcr = carsxe.vinOcr(imageUrl);
System.out.println(vinOcr);

Year, Make, and Model Search

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("year", "2023");
params.put("make", "Toyota");
params.put("model", "Camry");

Map<String, Object> ymm = carsxe.yearMakeModel(params);
System.out.println(ymm);

Vehicle Images

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("make", "BMW");
params.put("model", "X5");
params.put("year", "2019");

Map<String, Object> images = carsxe.images(params);
System.out.println(images);

Vehicle Recalls

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("vin", "1C4JJXR64PW696340");

Map<String, Object> recalls = carsxe.recalls(params);
System.out.println(recalls);

International VIN Decoder

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("vin", "WF0MXXGBWM8R43240");

Map<String, Object> internationalVin = carsxe.internationalVinDecoder(params);
System.out.println(internationalVin);

OBD Codes Decoder

Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("code", "P0115");

Map<String, Object> obdCodes = carsxe.obdcodesdecoder(params);
System.out.println(obdCodes);
