# UK Dealer Database API

# Every UK dealership, searchable

The Dealers API is a live directory of UK car retailers: search by radius, county, franchise or independent, FCA status and stock size, and get full profiles back.

## The trade, mapped and profiled

MarketCheck profiles every dealership behind the listings we track. Each record carries the trading name, address and coordinates, phone and email, website, dealer type, FCA authorisation and reference number, dealership group membership and current stock count.

Because profiles are built from live inventory, the directory maintains itself: stock counts move daily and dormant dealers are visible as such.

## Common questions

### How current is the directory?

Profiles are generated from the live listings we track, so stock counts move daily and a dealer that stops trading shows an empty forecourt rather than lingering as stale data. Records also carry a created\_at date so you can spot new entrants.

### What contact details are included?

Trading name, street address, postcode, coordinates, phone, email where published, website domain and dealership group membership. FCA-authorised dealers carry their reference number for verification.

### Can I get this as a list rather than an API?

Yes. The same data is available as ready-made CSV lists through our Dealer Email & Data Lists product, or as a recurring feed to your CRM.

### Can I find dealers by the size of their stock?

Yes, filter by listing count range: for example, independents holding 10 to 100 cars within 25 miles of a postcode, sorted nearest first.
