RevCarData

Verified Sep 2026

RevCarData is a global Year-Make-Model-Trim vehicle database covering EU, US, and Asian markets, exposing 53 structured spec fields per trim — MSRP, powertrain, dimensions, and EV/battery metrics — via a REST API and CSV export. Its own OpenAPI spec puts the index at 455,000+ vehicle configurations, and a live GET against /health in this run confirmed 452,662 rows loaded. A live GET against its real API host, api.revcardata.com/api/v1/vehicles, returned a 401 "Missing X-API-Key header" error carrying access-control-allow-origin: * — reconfirming auth "API Key" and cors "yes" — over HTTPS. Its site offers a free sign-up-and-get-a-key tier alongside paid plans for higher volume — freemium.
