Use Cases & Examples

Detailed Vehicle Information Display

Retrieve detailed vehicle information for display on motorcycle detail pages, customer applications, or internal dealer management systems. This API provides all the data typically shown on a dealer's motorcycle detail page (VDP).

Example:

Here we're retrieving complete details for a specific motorcycle listing including specifications, pricing, dealer information, and media content:

request.js
import axios from 'axios';

const options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.marketcheck.com/v2/listing/motorcycle/3ae003289b296bea3bfe266386835525-fa26db97-428f',
params: {api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'},
headers: {Accept: 'application/json'}
};

try {
const { data } = await axios.request(options);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}

Post-Search Detail Retrieval

After performing searches using the Inventory Search API, use the returned listing IDs to fetch complete motorcycle details for selected listings.

Example:

Here we're retrieving detailed information for a motorcycle listing discovered through inventory search:

request.js
import axios from 'axios';

const options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.marketcheck.com/v2/listing/motorcycle/40db9adb96aa20acf2bacf2af212cdf7-11fb1358-3e24',
params: {api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'},
headers: {Accept: 'application/json'}
};

try {
const { data } = await axios.request(options);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}

Data Feed Integration

For applications with access to MarketCheck data feeds, use listing IDs from feed data to retrieve real-time detailed information about specific motorcycles.

Example:

Here we're retrieving listing details using a listing ID from a data feed integration:

request.js
import axios from 'axios';

const options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'https://api.marketcheck.com/v2/listing/motorcycle/3205a2928e1fc489b550c5194a8919e1-7f6d9de3-9603',
params: {api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'},
headers: {Accept: 'application/json'}
};

try {
const { data } = await axios.request(options);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
This data is fetched directly from MarketCheck's main database, which is updated continuously as crawl progresses. Some fields like last_seen_at, scraped_at, and first_seen_at may not match the values in search API responses due to real-time data processing.
