DMS Integrations & API Directory

Custom Inventory System?

REST API for bespoke stacks and private dealer groups.

If your group runs a proprietary inventory platform, the PicsAuto REST API exposes the same VIN pull, photo upload, status callback, and 360° spin endpoints used by our native DMS connectors. Full OpenAPI spec, sandbox keys, and webhook signing keys ship with every enterprise contract.

Two-Way Sync, Documented

Two-way sync in 11.6 seconds — here's exactly what moves.

Built on signed webhooks, idempotent retries, and a write-ahead log that survives DMS outages. The PicsAuto connector never blocks your inventory pipeline, and every event is replayable from the audit console.

  1. 01

    VIN pull from your DMS

    PicsAuto subscribes to your DMS inventory webhook. The moment a new VIN lands, we pull trim, badges, and OEM package data so the background and chrome-delete are correct before the photo even arrives.

  2. 02

    Photo upload + render

    A photographer uploads from the lot. The 4.2M-image automotive vision model returns a 4K hero shot, a 12-angle walkaround, and a 360° interior spin — median turnaround 11.6 seconds per image.

  3. 03

    Status callback + listing publish

    A signed callback hits your DMS with the rendered asset URLs, EXIF-corrected metadata, and a ready-to-publish status. Listings go live on your website, third-party marketplaces, and OEM portals without manual touch.

REST API & Webhooks

Not on the list? Hit the REST API and webhooks directly

Running a proprietary inventory system, a custom-built DMS, or a homegrown merchandising pipeline? You do not need to wait for a named integration. PicsAuto ships a versioned REST API and a signed-webhook event stream, so your engineering team can wire the photo pipeline into whatever stack already owns your VIN truth — in a single afternoon, against a fully populated sandbox.

  • POST /v2/enhance

    Upload a source image with vin, trim, and background_id — receive a CDN-hosted, 4K-ready hero URL plus a 12-angle walkaround manifest in the response payload.

  • POST /v2/spin/generate

    Kick off a 360° interior or exterior spin job; poll /v2/spin/{job_id} or receive the finished frames on a webhook callback.

  • GET /v2/vin/{vin}/backgrounds

    Return the VIN-aware background set our OCR engine recommends — chrome-delete trims, OEM brand wall colors, and lot-context plates — so your UI can preview the swap before commit.

Sandbox keys ship within one business hour. Webhooks are signed with HMAC-SHA256; the same signing scheme is used for OEM partner fleets.

Deployment Timeline

From contract signed to first synced VIN: typically 9 business days

We measure go-live in business days, not quarters. The steps below are how the average mid-to-large dealer group reaches a first synced VIN on PicsAuto — with the same engineer assigned from kickoff through cutover.

  1. 01
    Day 1

    Solution architect call & DMS discovery

    A 60-minute working session with your IT lead. We confirm the DMS, the inventory write path, and where the source image bytes currently live. No slideware, no second meeting.

  2. 02
    Days 2–4

    Sandbox credentials & connector install

    Your team gets sandbox API keys, a scoped OAuth client, and the native DMS connector deployed to a non-production tenant. Background and chrome-delete mappings are reviewed side-by-side against ten of your live VINs.

  3. 03
    Days 5–7

    Production cutover & webhook routing

    Production keys issued, webhook endpoints whitelisted, and the existing batch job rerouted through PicsAuto. A 24-hour shadow run compares AI output against your current photos so the team signs off on quality before live traffic flips.

  4. 04
    Days 8–9

    First synced VIN, then full catalog

    The first real-world VIN is enhanced end-to-end on day eight. By day nine, the bulk re-shoot queue is processed at the platform’s rated 11.6-second average turnaround. Your merchandising team never opens a CSV.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security and compliance baked into every sync

Procurement, IT, and OEM partner-review teams all ask the same four questions. These are the answers we send first — backed by the audits, the certifications, and the production uptime we publish monthly.

  • SOC 2
    Type II audited

    SOC 2 Type II data-handling controls reviewed annually; report available under NDA to qualifying OEM and dealer-group partners.

  • ISO 9001
    Certified pipeline

    ISO 9001-certified image processing pipeline — every render, webhook, and CDN URL passes through a versioned, auditable quality system.

  • 3 Regions
    Data residency

    Process and store vehicle imagery in U.S., EU, or Canadian regions — matched to the OEM brand or dealer-group data-residency requirement you operate under.

  • 99.97%
    Trailing-12-month uptime

    Trailing-12-month API availability, measured on the integration endpoints the DMS connectors and webhooks depend on — status page lives at status.picsauto.com.
