Integration API - Reference guide

Overview

The Auto SAPO Integration API is organized around REST, taking advantage of all semantics of Standard HTTP like status codes and verbs.

We have adopted JSON as the default and only format for all Requests and Responses.

To use the API, these steps must be followed:

  • Step 1 - Authorization - Get a access_token
  • Step 2 - Locate vehicle - Find or Request a vehicle creation
  • Step 3 - Manage Adverts - Compose Adverts
  • Step 4 - Publish Adverts - Get adverts online/offline

We provide two environments of Integration API:

SANDBOX

The purpose of SANDBOX environment is to provide a stable and controlled way to help you to develop and test your application when communicating with Auto SAPO.

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to develop and test all functionalities on your use cases before start using Production environment.

ATTENTION - Due to the testing nature of this environment, data will be periodically wiped out, so you SHOULD consider that (for example) overnight you might lose adverts, photos, publications, etc,...

If you don't have a SANDBOX advertiser account yet, you can create a new one using the following address: https://auto-frontoffice-sbx.sapo.pt/

In order to test and check how adverts will be presented, please use the testing address https://auto-frontend-sbx.sapo.pt.

This environment uses the following base addresses:

PRODUCTION

Production is the live environment where all interactions will take effect on Auto SAPO website.

New accounts should be created using the following address: https://auto-frontoffice.sapo.pt/

You SHOULD NEVER use this environment to test functionalities.

This environment uses the following base addresses:


STEP 1 - Authorization

Before you start managing and publishing your adverts, you will need to obtain one access_token in order to be able to interact with the API.

To obtain the access_token you need to use a client_id and a client_secret which you can obtain using Backoffice on "Conta > Aplicações" to create a new "Application Access".

Request to obtain access token

curl -X POST https://auto-oauth-sbx.sapo.pt/token \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \	
	-d '{"client_id":"XXXXX","client_secret":"YYYYY"}' 

Response with access token

{
  "access_token":"...ey87JkJSUzI1N...",
  "expires_in":28800
}

Now you are able to send requests using the Authorization header as follows:

curl -X GET https://auto-integration.staging.sapo.pt/adverts \
	 -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN_FROM_OAUTH_ENDPOINT>"

NOTE: It is expected the reutilization of access_token across multiple calls while it is valid. You SHOULD NOT create an access_token per endpoint call.

Endpoints


STEP 2 - Check vehicle's existence

Before an advert can be created, it is necessary to ensure that AutoSAPO has the vehicle's Information, you can check it by License plate OR VIN.

Examples of check request

curl --head https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/vehicles/{licenceplate} \
	 -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" 

# OR

curl --head https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/vehicles/VIN/{vin} \
	 -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" 

# A response with the status code:
#   - 200 means we have the vehicle's information
#   - 404 means we don't have the vehicle's information

If AutoSAPO doesn't have the vehicle's information, you can request to add it.

Example of vehicle's creation

curl -X POST https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/vehicles \
	 -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
	 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	 -d "{ ...vehicle properties...  }" 

# A response with the status code:
#   - 201 means you have added the vehicle's information
#   - 400 means that something is wrong on vehicle's information

Please use the REST API endpoints grouped as Vehicles and Vehicles lookup data.

NOTE: If you detect that some lookup data is missing (as for example when a manufacturer releases a new model or version) you are always welcome to request us to add it.

For a detailed documentation please check: https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/swagger


STEP 3 - Manage Adverts

Now it's time to create a new advert or edit an existing one.

Example of advert's creation

# example using curl:
	curl -X POST https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/adverts \
		-H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
		-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
		-d "{ ...advert properties...  }" 

# A response with the status code:
#   - 201 means the advert was created
#   - 400 means that something is wrong in advert request

Adding photos to advert

Before sending us photos, please consider that:

  • You need to create the advert first;
  • We accept traditional web image formats like jpg or png;
  • We accept 30Mb max per upload;
  • All images will be displayed at the 16:9 ratio;
  • All images are displayed horizontaly;
  • A crop will be applied automaticaly if the original photo does not match this ratio;
  • All images larger than 2048 pixels on width, will be reduced to this width;

Example: Upload using curl

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}"\ 
	-F "file=@advertphoto.jpg" \
	https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/adverts/{idadvert}/photo

# A response with the status code:
#   - 201 means the image was added to the advert
#   - 400 means that something is wrong in the request

Example: Upload using raw HTTP

POST https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/adverts/{idadvert}/photo HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer {access_token}
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AutoSAPOBoundary

--AutoSAPOBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="VehiclePhoto-001.jpg"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

< .\VehiclePhoto-001.jpg
--AutoSAPOBoundary--

# A response with the status code:
#   - 201 means the image was added to the advert
#   - 400 means that something is wrong in the request

Note that:

  • You can only have one advert per license plate since you can publish it multiple times;
  • Use Advertiser locations lookup to obtain the locationKey of advert. Locations are read-only on the API and managed on Backoffice;
  • Changes made to an already published (online) advert will never take effect until you republish it again;

Please use the REST API endpoints grouped as Advertiser locations lookup and Adverts Management. For a detailed documentation please check: https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/swagger


STEP 4 - Publish Adverts

The final step is meant to manage the presence of the advert on Auto SAPO, taking it online/offline.

This step is asynchronous therefore, all the necessary actions to take one advert online/offline will be processed in background.

Note that:

  • A publication is a online snapshot of one advert;
  • Changes on the adverts (step 3) will not get online until the publish operation is invoked;

Please use the REST API endpoints grouped as Adverts Publication. For a detailed documentation please check: https://auto-integration-sbx.sapo.pt/swagger
