Car Image API
Car images with transparent backgrounds for every vehicle in the international vehicle database — cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses from international sources, 1990 to today.
Endpoint
GET /api/v1/images/car?view=side&make=toyota&model=corolla&year=2012Authentication
Server requests require a key in Authorization: Bearer (or x-api-key). Create keys on the dashboard after signing in with Google, use the browser-assisted CLI, or try the API without a key on the playground.
# server-side: long-lived keys belong in headers, never URLs
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer cimg_..." "https://car-imgs.vercel.app/api/v1/images/car?view=side&make=toyota&model=corolla&year=2012"
# browser embeds: create an opaque, five-minute, single-use URL
