Interface · API

ONE API.
ANY SYSTEM.

tapinomahub is the scalable data layer for your automotive business. VIN, vehicle, parts, document and image data flows straight into your software — from a start-up’s first workflow to an established ERP, without growing the same manual capture task with every rise in volume.

More volume only means more credit — not more manual capture.

01

In plain words

A POWER SOCKET. FOR DATA.

NO JARGON

An API is a fixed socket between two programs. Your system plugs in a question and receives the answer in a format that never changes. Nobody has to open a website, search or copy results.

01

Your system asks

Your software sends a short, clearly defined question: a VIN, an OE number or a photo of the part.

02

tapinomahub answers

The Hub processes the request, verifies the matches and returns a clean, machine-readable result.

03

Your system carries on

The result lands straight in the right field: the item record, the quote, the order or the shop listing.

02

The value

LESS MANUAL WORK. MORE THROUGHPUT.

WHY IT PAYS OFF

The strategic value is not one lookup but throughput: more vehicles, parts and documents are processed without research and retyping consuming staff in the same proportion. Specialists handle exceptions and decisions rather than every standard case.

01

Time

Research and transfer run inside the workflow. Working time goes into verification, purchasing and sales instead of browser switching and duplicate capture.

02

Fewer errors

No typos, no swapped numbers, no outdated copy and paste from a catalogue.

03

Scale

Operating effort no longer grows linearly with request volume. Your team reviews exceptions while standard cases continue automatically.

04

Clear context

Where relevant, responses include freshness, licence context, result status and review status. Your system can tell what is ready to use and what needs professional review.

05

Predictable billing

The terms applicable to an order are shown before submission and follow the contractual agreement.

06

Solid foundation

A documented OpenAPI 3.1 contract replaces home-made screen scraping and can be versioned, tested and reused cleanly across systems.

03

Before / after

THE SAME TASK. TWO ROUTES.

SAME TASK

Without an API

  • Somebody opens several portals and searches by hand.
  • Numbers are retyped or copied across.
  • Results live in notes, mails and spreadsheets.
  • Quality depends on experience and the day.
  • More volume means more staff.

With the tapinomahub API

  • The system asks automatically the moment a part is created.
  • Numbers come back normalised and verified.
  • Results sit in the record with relevant status, licence and timestamp details.
  • The same rule decides the same way every time.
  • Higher volume remains traceable through the agreed billing model.
04

Integration

FITS INTO ANY SYSTEM.

HTTPS + JSON

The API speaks HTTPS and JSON — the common denominator of practically every piece of software. ERP, shop, marketplace and in-house products can therefore synchronise the same data basis without moving notes or files between systems. ABAP, PHP, Java, .NET, Python and no-code tools all use the same documented contract.

ERP

ERP & inventory

Create, enrich and value items without leaving the familiar process.

SHOP

Online shop

Fill vehicle applications, part descriptions and attributes automatically.

MARKET

Marketplaces

Publish listings with evidenced vehicle fitment and verified OE numbers.

WORKSHOP

Workshop & dismantling

From the registration document or the label straight to the identified part.

CUSTOM

In-house development

One HTTPS call with an API key. Nothing more is needed for the first match.

NO-CODE

Automation without code

Workflow tools without programming make HTTP calls just as well.

first-request.sh
curl \
  -H 'X-Api-Key: <API_KEY>' \
  'https://api.tapinomahub.com/parts/oe/5Q0919275C'

The first call

One OE number, one key in the request header, one JSON answer. That is what getting started looks like — in every language that speaks HTTPS.

What you build
  • ✓ A server-side HTTPS call carrying the API key
  • ✓ Mapping for the fields you actually need
  • ✓ Optionally a return URL for the guided VIN lookup
  • ✓ Optionally a small worker for long-running requests

The route to go-live

FOUR STEPS. IN PRODUCTION.

FOUR STEPS
01

Access

Create an account and receive an API key. The key stays server-side and is never exposed in a browser.

02

Test case

Run one known case through the contractually approved sandbox using documented test data.

03

Mapping

Decide which response field belongs in which field of your system, and when a human review is required.

04

Go-live

Raise volume step by step. Usage, credit and limits stay visible at all times.

06

Operations & security

DEPENDABLE. IN OPERATION.

OPERATIONS

API key instead of password

Every request identifies itself with a key you can rotate at any time. Multiple tenants get separate keys with their own limits.

Stable error codes

Every error carries a stable code. Your system can branch on it without parsing any text.

Contractual sandbox access

An approved test key answers every request entirely from documented test data — ideal for acceptance and regression tests.

Visible status

Availability and response times are public, before you have to ask support.
