By leveraging our OpenAPI capability, your developers can integrate other business programs and applications with your CRM, even those integrations we don’t directly offer out of the box. This can be done quickly and easily without reliance on the DealerPeak engineering team. The DealerPeak CRM OpenAPI allows your company to build integrated web and mobile solutions leveraging our CRM data and processes.
APIs give dealerships working with our CRM platform centralized access to the many different applications used to run their day-to-day business. For larger enterprise dealer groups and more technologically sophisticated groups, custom applications can also be built on top of your DealerPeak CRM data.
Vendors interested in connecting directly with DealerPeak can gain access to our API, upon request. By leveraging real-time CRM data, partners ranging from digital retailing to F&I can enhance their own offerings and provide a better experience to their dealership clients.
1. A client application initiates an API call to retrieve information also known as a request. This request is processed from an application to the web server via the API’s Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and includes a request verb, headers, and sometimes, a request body.
2. After receiving a valid request, the API makes a call to the external program or web server.
3. The server sends a response to the API with the requested information.
4. The API transfers the data to the initial requesting application.
The data transfer will vary depending on the web service being used. Regardless, this process of requests and response all happens through an API.
A user interface is designed for use by humans; APIs are designed for use by a computer or application.
API documentation available upon request.
