Get your CarsXE API key Sign up at [api.carsxe.com](https://api.carsxe.com) and grab your API key. ### 2. Set your API key Get your API key from [Here](https://api.carsxe.com/dashboard/developer). Run the auth command — it validates your key against the CarsXE API and sets it for the current session automatically: ``` /carsxe:auth your_api_key_here ``` ## Usage Examples **Decode a VIN:** ``` /carsxe:specs WBAFR7C57CC811956 ``` **Look up a California plate:** ``` /carsxe:plate 7XER187 US CA ``` **Check market value:** ``` /carsxe:value WBAFR7C57CC811956 CA 45000 clean ``` Optional params: state (e.g. `CA`), mileage, condition (`excellent` | `clean` | `average` | `rough`) **Get vehicle history:** ``` /carsxe:history WBAFR7C57CC811956 ``` **Find vehicle images:** ``` /carsxe:images BMW X5 2019 ``` **Check recalls:** ``` /carsxe:recalls WBAFR7C57CC811956 ``` **Decode an international VIN:** ``` /carsxe:intvin WF0MXXGBWM8R43240 ``` **Extract VIN from a photo:** ``` /carsxe:ocr https://example.com/vin-photo.jpg ``` **Check liens and theft:** ``` /carsxe:lien WBAFR7C57CC811956 ``` **Extract plate from a photo:** ``` /carsxe:plateocr https://example.com/plate-photo.jpg ``` **Look up by Year/Make/Model:** ``` /carsxe:ymm 2020 Toyota Camry LE ``` **Decode an OBD code:** ``` /carsxe:obd P0300 ``` ## Skills (Auto-invoked) Skills are automatically triggered by Claude based on the conversation context. For example: - _"What are the specs of VIN WBAFR7C57CC811956?"_ → triggers `vehicle-specs` - _"Does this car have any recalls?"_ → triggers `vehicle-recalls` - _"What does the check engine code P0300 mean?"_ → triggers `obd-decoder` ## API Documentation Full CarsXE API docs: [api.carsxe.com/docs](https://api.carsxe.com/docs)
