Dealer-Area
Dealer-Area is the part of our platform, where a dealer-seller can login and do things like editing the vehicle inventory.
Reference data
Here you find reference tables for the enumerated data types like features, colors, makes, models and others.
Textformatting & Smart Attributes
Here you find information regarding how to format the vehicle description. Information how to use our Smart Attributes (in German only) can be found here.
seller

A seller is the entity which offers vehicles at the mobile.de marketplace. There are three different seller types:

In Seller-API and Search-API, sellers are identified by the seller-key (also called seller-ID or customer-ID).
Note: The seller-key is not the customer-number that our dealer customers have.

site / site-id / site-key

mobile.de GmbH operates different platforms (sites) in different countries, for example www.mobile.de in Germany and www.automobile.it in Italy.
Each of these sites is identified by a site-key (you can find a full list of the site-keys in our reference data).

The API is available for all sites, albeit each site may have different rules for offering a vehicle and different sets of reference data.
Hence when offering (posting) a vehicle, you should consider the site your seller is registered and operational at.
You will find more information on that matter in the seller API section.
