Getting Started



All API calls are to a web url passing a JSON packet on a POST / GET or PUT method depending if you are wanting information back, adding information to Carro or updating existing information.


First you will need to get credentials for a test account, to obtain these, please email : support@carro.systems | Or click here to contact us via our contact us page

 

Once you have the username and password for a test dealer, you can start by calling the CheckService call located at :

 

https://{api url}/CheckService

    "DealerID": "4002"
}
