JATO FLEX API
Welcome to FLEX API, JATO's new cloud-based platform designed specifically for developers looking to integrate industry-leading vehicle specifications and incentives data for North America into their applications. With FLEX, you can build and price vehicles, competitively compare them, and display targeted incentives and rebates through our data feed, API, or complete web application.
FLEX API allows developers to extract data directly from our API while maintaining their own database. Users can make direct queries to our data feed and decide which attributes to use. Web APIs benefit from vehicle prices, specifications, photos, and options, with daily updates for all brands and markets.
FLEX API offers developers powerful tools to enhance their applications with top-notch automotive data:
Vehicle Research: Easily access and compare vehicle features.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started with using the API securely:
Understand Security Concepts: Before diving in, it's crucial to grasp how security works and the fundamental concepts of the API.
Company and Developer Credentials: FLEX requires two sets of credentials to authenticate requests:
Your company credentials, which determine the data you're licensed to access.
Your developer credentials, used for analytics and call rate packages.
Include Credentials in Request Headers: To inform FLEX about your company and developer details, you'll need to include two strings in the request headers for every API call you make:
Authorization: This should contain a JSON Web Token (JWT) obtained from JATO's OAuth 2.0 service. To retrieve your token, send a POST request to
https://auth.jatoflex.com/oauth/tokenwith the following body:username: Your assignedus.customernameorca.customernameusername.password: Your assigned password.grant_type: Set topassword. Once posted, the response will follow the OAuth 2.0 format, providing an access token. The value you need to supply for Authorization is{token_type} + ' ' + {access_token}. For example:"bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1Ni..."
Subscription Key: Include the primary subscription key found in your developer profile as a string.
By following these steps, you'll be able to securely authenticate and access the API resources.
