About CarApi

CarApi is a project created to expiriment with a handful of technologies. It is an API that provides some minimal data on vehicles from a variety of manufacturers. It is a purely educational project, not intended for real use, as the content is basic.

The data available is sourced from public data online. It has been designed in such a way to make it easy to add new manufacturers, and update the data if it changes over time. Please see below to find the sources of all information used in this API. All credit to the original authors.
