Introduction

Overview

The mobile.de Seller-API is an interface to store seller vehicle and user data to the mobile.de-database and make them available on the platform as classified ads. It enables API users to carry out all necessary operations to manage the full lifecycle of listings from creation to deletion.

The API is available at this base URL:

https://services.mobile.de

Main features

  • Create a new ad

  • Delete an ad

  • List all sellers ads

  • List all sellers of an API-account

  • Upload images

  • Change the order of existing images

  • Create Direct Offer for an ad

  • Get Direct Offer for an ad

Prerequisites

Seller API Access can be granted to Transfer Service Providers and Self-Uploading Dealers registered with mobile.de. Self-Uploading Dealers or their tool developers/agencies who only want to provide data for their own account won’t need a separate Seller-API-Account. In case of a company group with one or more accounts belonging to the same company each account will be seen independently and transfer has to be done using the individual upload credentials of each account. They just need to send an email to service@team.mobile.de with the following information

  • the affected mobile.de customer number and company name

  • the request for the customers Seller-API activation

For Transfer Service Providers who want to operate as a TSP for more than ten customers, since the Seller APIs is a highly complex topic, we need the following information to be send to service@team.mobile.de:

  • The name, email and telephone number of the person who handles contractual issues for the requesting company.

  • The name, email and telephone number of the person who handles technical issues for the requesting company.

  • What kind of software applications or tools are currently used (commercial software applications)?

  • Which platform will be supplied? (mobile.de / automobile.fr)?

  • The complete company address.

  • The VAT ID of the requesting company.

  • All mobile.de customer numbers who should be supplied (min. 10)

Limited support for the development process and maintenance:

Please note that all examples provided in our documentation are considered as guidelines for your development process but mobile.de for itself is not able to directly assist with any of your preferred programming languages and/or used scripts.

Test Account

A test environment can be provided. Please send us all information mentioned in our Prerequisites to service@team.mobile.de. For more details see section API Sandbox.

Quick Start

Make a sample REST API call to the testing environment of mobile.de.

Preparation

cURL: This example is using cURL, an open source command line tool, to make http requests. On Mac or Linux systems cURL is usually pre-installed, Windows users can find cURL at https://curl.haxx.se.

For this example you need read access to the Seller API in the API Sandbox environment. Please refer to the Getting a Test Account to get access to the testing environment.

  ]
}

Access and Testing

Authentication and Authorization

The API is available at this base URL:

https://services.mobile.de

In order to upload listings on behalf of mobile.de customers you’ll need to register as an API user on the mobile.de platform. Please contact the Customer Support for further details about the activation process!

The user must be authenticated with a username and password using the HTTP basic authentication scheme. For detailed information on HTTP basic authentication see

During the activation process the Customer Support will provide you with instructions how to get the access credentials. The credentials are unique for each API user and do not dependent on sellers or ads.

API Sandbox

Please note that the returned location headers for POST requests are currently pointing to the production environment.

For testing purposes an api sandbox environment is available.

https://sandbox.services.mobile.de

The sandbox only offers the full functionality of the following apis:

Getting a Test Account

The API test account can be requested by email to service@team.mobile.de. The email should state that you request an API User account for the API Sandbox environment. Including your project and your requirements.

High Level Concepts

API User / TSP

An API user is the entity that has an API account and uses that account to post ads for one or more sellers (which are linked to that account) to the API. Usually the API user is a TSP (Transfer Service Provider) which posts ads for a larger number of sellers. For posting the API User is using his API User authentication credentials for every assigned seller. This is for TSPs wo are having a web based platform.

API User / TSP with individual sellers

In addition to the standard API User / TSP definition on top where the API User is using the API User credentials for API usage there is the possibility to create individual dealer upload credentials also for TSP managed sellers. This is called Self-Upload-Account. This is for TSPs managing several dealers providing an offline based tool where the credentials would be stored on the dealers device.

Individual Dealer

A dealer is able to use the API like a TSP but only for his dealer account. When the Upload Interface is activated an API_User is created. This is for dealers having own tools to manage the inventory on mobile.de.

The ad represents a vehicle for sale that is published on the mobile.de platform. It consists among the others of:

  • vehicle details

  • price

  • images

  • booked features - e.g. TopOfPage to make an appear on the top of the search results to increase the sell probability

Seller

The seller represents information about the owner of the vehicle. It consists among the others of:

  • company name (for commercial sellers)

  • name of the seller (for private sellers)

  • address

  • contact details

mobileAdId

A unique identifier of an ad published on the mobile.de platform. It is primarily used to identify a particular ad when invoking a rest call. For this purpose the mobileAdId is passed as a path parameter.

mobileSellerId

A unique identifier of a seller that publishes ads on the mobile.de platform.

Image Reference

A unique url that identifies an image on the mobile.de platform. This is also known as image url or simply image ref. The image refs are used for associating uploaded images with ads.

{
    "ref": "https://img.classistatic.de/api/v1/mo-prod/images/46/467621f9-dcca-4c7f-ba2b-5f50942b713b?rule=mo-640.jpg"
}

Site Id

Also knows as Site Key.

The mobile.de runs different websites in different countries. For example http://www.mobile.de in Germany and http://www.automobile.it in Italy. Each of those sites is identified by a site-key.

You can find a full list of the site ids in our reference data.

However this API is for all of those sites but for the various sites there may exist some different rules for offering a vehicle and different sets of reference data (make and model sets, vehicle classes and feature sets) might be visible.

Each seller is at home on one of these sites. When posting ads, they are created on the site where the seller is at home and so the specific reference data and validation rules of that site apply to new ads.

This is why you should know on which site your sellers are at home. See Seller Resource section to find out the site ids of your sellers.

Reference Data

Reference data is a set of tables that define valid values for a number of fields such as colors, makes, models and others.

For example. Valid values for the field gearbox are defined by the reference data endpoint https://services.mobile.de/refdata/gearboxes.

Please refer to the Reference Data full details section for more information.

Cross Cutting Technical Concerns

This section contains rules and behaviours that are common for all mobile.de apis. Please adhere to the these guides for all api calls unless specified otherwise in the detailed documentation for a particular service call.

REST

In general the API follows the conventions for REST-APIs. All communication is done via HTTP. Correct combination of request methods (verbs) and URL trigger the actions of the API.

You can find more information about the REST principles here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

Resource

A resource in REST terminology means a piece of information such as Ad, Seller or Image.

Http Verbs

Where possible, the Seller API strives to use appropriate HTTP verbs (methods) for each action.

GET

Used for retrieving resources.

POST

Used for creating resources.

PUT

Used for replacing resources or collections.

DELETE

Used for deleting resources.

Idempotent Methods

An idempotent http method is an operation that when called multiple times it does not change state on the server side. The GET, PUT and DELETE are idempotent. The POST operation in general is not idempotent as each call creates a new resource on the server.

Status Codes

Http status codes represents a result of an api call.

200 (OK)

A successful API call will be indicated by an HTTP-status code 200 (OK).

201 (created)

When you have posted something, a successful API call will be indicated by an HTTP-status code 201 (created). Have a look at the returned HTTP header Location.

It contains the URL of the newly created resource and you should memorize at least the id or key of that item, which you can find at the end of the URL.

Example of a newly created ad with the mobileAdId 456:

Location: https://services.mobile.de/seller-api/sellers/123/ads/456
204 (no content)

After deleting something (HTTP method DELETE) a successful API call will be indicated by an HTTP-status code 204 (No Content), though that resource no longer exists.

400 (bad request)

This code is returned when there is something wrong with the content that you have sent. In most cases the response payload contains more details about what went wrong. See Error Responses for more details.

401 (Unauthorized)

The access credentials are not correct. Please see [Authentication and Authorisation] section for more details.

403 (Forbidden)

The API user doesn’t have sufficient permissions to perform the api call.

404 (not found)

This status code is returned when you are trying to access a resource that does not exist. In a simple case this can be a typo in the path you are accessing, but this can also have another reason:

From your point of view, only sellers that are linked to your API account are visible. So if you try to read or write data for a seller that is not linked to your account and therefore not existing in your API universe, you will get an HTTP status code 404.

Example.

The seller with the Id 123 is linked to your account, the seller with the Id 456 is not. Posting an ad to /seller-api/sellers/123/ads results in an HTTP status 201 (created) whereas posting an ad to /seller-api/sellers/456/ads results in an HTTP status 404 (not found).

If you keep getting not found errors, check the following list of possible error causes:

  • Do you use the correct seller-key in your requests URLs?

    Make sure you send your requests to the correct URL containing the seller-key of the customer you are servicing. Ask Customer Support whether the customer account had been properly set for TSP servicing with your mobile.de TSP account.

  • Do you use the correct HTTP method and API service URL?

    Take a look at the API Use Case table provided below and make sure you got the API base URL, resource path and HTTP method right.

405 (method not allowed)

This status code indicates that the endpoint either doesn’t support specified http verb (method) or the requested media type is not supported. Please check the value of the Accept header is correct as specified in the Media Types section.

409 (conflict)

This status code indicates there is a concflict between the incoming request and the current state of the resource. In most cases the response payload contains more details about what went wrong. See Error Responses for more details.

415 (unsupported media type)

The write endpoint doesn’t accept data in specified format. Please check the value of the Content-Type header is correct as specified in the Media Types section.

5xx

If you receive an HTTP code starting with 5 it indicates that the service faced an internal error. Please contact Customer Support and report the error.

Path Parameters

The api uses path parameters to identify resources. A path parameter is a part of the url that must be replaced with some value (usually a resource id) when making an api call. Parameters are named (prefixed with ":") to make it possible to refer to particular parameter.

For example:

/seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId

contains two path parameters: mobileSellerId and mobileAdId. When making an api call the values must be specified for all parameters, e.g. assuming that mobileSellerId=12 and mobileAdId=34 the url will be

/seller-api/sellers/12/ads/34

Media Types

The api exchanges the data using either json or xml format. Both representations (media types) use the same schema in terms of fields names and types. Detailed description of data structures for individual operations is available in the Resources Reference section.

The api client indicates the preferred data representation using the Accept header for reading use cases (GET requests) and the Content-Type header for writing use cases (PUT, POST requests).

Error Responses

The Seller-API responds with HTTP status 400 (bad request) in case of user caused errors. This includes among the other cases like:

  • unparsable json or xml,

  • syntactically incorrect data - e.g. json data that doesn’t match the schema

  • validation errors - e.g. mandatory fields are missing

In such cases the api tries to include in the error response as much details as possible to help the user to identify the problem.

The error message is sent as the response body using the following schema Error Response

Sample xml parsing response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errorResponse>
  <errors>
    <error>
      <key>xml-parse-error</key>
      <args>
        <arg>
          <key>parser-message</key>
          <value>ParseError at [row,col]:[1,768]
Message: The element type "vehicleClass" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "&lt;/vehicleClass&gt;".</value>

        <arg>
          <key>column</key>
          <value>768</value>
        </arg>
      </args>
    </error>
  </errors>
</errorResponse>
Sample validation response
{
    "errors": [
        {
            "key": "envkv_energy_efficiency_class_is_empty"
        },
        {
            "key": "delivery-period-xor-delivery-date"
        }
    ]
}

The representation of the error response is dictated by the requested media type. See Media Types for more details.

For more details about validation rules for individual resources please visit the [Resources] section.

Special characters in payload

Please make sure to escape any special characters in your JSON and XML payload before sending requests. Ideally, this is automatically handled by your client library. Escapes or unescapes a string removing traces of reserved characters that could prevent parsing.

The following characters are reserved in JSON and must be properly escaped to be used in strings:

  • Double quote is replaced with \"

  • Backslash is replaced with \\

For a full list of reserved characters in JSON please visit http://www.json.org.

Example

Escaping \\ linebreaks for the advanced vehicle discription with WIKI syntax:

{
    "description": "The vehicle has the following additional features:\\\\ * Winter tires Warranty\\\\ * Warranty"
}

Concurrency

Do not send multiple requests for the same ad at the same time. Always wait for the request to be finished before sending the next one (in scope of the same ad) or you will run into problems.

E.g. do not update one ad’s images while another image-update-call for the same ad is still in progress.

Date Time Representation

This part contains general information regarding how to work with date/time based fields in the APIs of mobile.de.

Date Time

The datetime information is represented as text that conforms to the ISO_8601 standard. It is formatted using the Europe/Berlin time zone offset, for example 2015-12-01T18:40:44+01:00.

Json example
{
    "creationDate": "2015-12-01T18:40:44+01:00"
}
Xml example
    <creationDate>2015-12-01T18:40:44+01:00</creationDate>

Month and Year

Some fields require only year and month precision. They are represented as text using yyyyMM format.

Example
{
    "firstRegistration": "200909",
    "generalInspection": "201611"
}

Year

The fields that require information only about the year are represented as a number using yyyy format.

Example
{
    "constructionYear": 2010
}

Working with Ad Data

Overview

Seller API allows you to manage your vehicle inventory in a programmatic way and integrate it with other applications. It enables you to carry out all necessary operations to handle the full lifecycle of listings from creation to deletion.

The main object that you’ll encounter in the API is the ad object. An ad object contains all the data necessary to visually display the vehicle as a listing on the mobile.de marketplace. Currently ad data are exchange in either JSON or XML format. All mobile.de APIs use the same unified data format, you can learn more about it here.

The ad object contains roughly three parts:
Platform meta data for the mobile.de, the vehicle for sale and additional information about the listing.
Platform Meta Data
mobileAdId

The unique identifier for an ad object on mobile.de marketplace.
Example: 123456789123
mobileSellerId

Reference to the seller of this ad object.
Example: 1234567
creationDate

The insertion date of the ad object.
Example: 2015-06-12T11:58:32+02:00
renewalDate

Last date the ad was marked as new. If this field is set, then the ad appears as a newly created ad in search results.
Example: 2015-06-12T11:58:32+02:00
Vehicle Data
classification

General classification of the vehicle.
Example: Car or Motorbike
category

Detailed classification of the vehicle.
Example: Cabrio or Limousine
make

Make of the vehicle.
Example: Mercedes or Toyota
model

Model of the vehicle.
Example: X5 or Prius
modelDescription

Detailed free text description of the vehicle. This is also used as ad title together with the make.
Example: Golf III always parked in garage
Additional Ad Information
price

Provides price information for the vehicle, including currency, VAT rate and price type.
deliveryDate

Date where the vehicle is ready to be delivered to the customer.
damageUnrepaired

Indicates if the vehicle has a damage. e.g. accident vehicle with body damage.

Workflow example

This section provides a sample workflow from creation to deletion of an ad. You’ll need mobileSellerId and mobileAdId in addition to your authentication credential in order to work with most endpoints in Seller API.

For more information about each resource, have a look at our Resources Reference.

(Optional) Upload images

PUT /seller-api/sellers/images
If you have images, use this endpoint to preupload them one by one before creating your ad. The response will be a reference for each uploaded image, which you have to include in your ad JSON. Please see Images Resource for more details how to upload images.

Image reference example:

{
    "ref": "https://img.classistatic.de/api/v1/mo-prod/images/46/467631f9-acce-1e7f-ca2b-9f13912d713b?rule=mo-640.jpg"
}
Create a new ad

POST /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads
Insert a new ad for seller identified by mobileSellerId in the resource path. You can send either the complete ad data or only the required fields and update the rest later. At this point it is also possible to book paid features from mobile.de marketplace or order them in a separate update call. You’ll receive a new mobileAdId as reference in the Location header after the ad is created.

Ad created response example:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: https://services.mobile.de/seller-api/sellers/12/ads/217220
Retrieve ad

GET/seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId
To retrieve your newly created ad, use GET on the ad resource. See Data Example for some sample data.

Update ad data

PUT /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId
To change your ad after it was created, use PUT on the ad resource. The request body must be the complete ad with all fields.

View statistics

GET /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId/statistic
Seller API also provides various statistics about your ad performance through this endpoint.

Mark ad as new

POST /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId/vehicle-attribute/renewal-date
Use POST on the renewal-date endpoint to renew your ad. It will be relisted and appears like a new ad in search results.

Book features

PUT /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId
Book additional paid ad features from mobile.de marketplace to increase your ad performance, e.g. highlight ad with a larger preview image on top of the search result page.

Delete ad

DELETE /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId
To delete your old ads, use DELETE on the ad resource. Seller API will response with HTTP 200 status when the ad was successfully deleted. All associated images will be purged as well.

How to handle errors

Errors during ad creation and update

In case the submitted data or call syntax in general is incorrect the api call results in HTTP 400 status response. Seller API will provide an error-key as feedback, if available. You can find the explaination for each error key under Error Keys.

Example response with error-key:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "key": "invalid-value"
            "args": [
                {
                    "key": "path",
                    "value": "gearbox"
                },
                {
                    "key": "invalid-value",
                    "value": "XYZ"
                }
            ],
        }
    ]
}

Upload image failures

Once uploaded, the image could be associated with a newly created or existing ad. Calls may take longer duration due to file uploading and storage, so consider checking the timeouts and/or retries in case of an error. In case Seller API response with an error-key, you can check the details in this list for image error keys.

Avoiding Duplicated Ads In Case Of Failure

When the POST operation fails e.g. due to network connectivity problems or internal server error, the user does not know whether the ad has been created or not. If the user retries the POST operation it is possible that duplicated ad is created.

In order to address this issue the Seller-API has been extended with new functionality. The new functionality allows the user to retry the POST operation in a safe manner, so that it will not create a duplicated ad in case it has been created with the initial call.

In order to correlate the retry call with the initial POST call, the user must send a unique value in the newly introduced http header X-Mobile-Insertion-Request-Id. It makes the POST call idempotent.

Let’s consider the following scenario.

Intial POST request
POST https://services.mobile.de/seller-api/sellers/28481/ads HTTP/1.1
X-Mobile-Insertion-Request-Id: my-unique-id-for-this-ad
Content-Type: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json

<some ad data>
Failing Response
HTTP/1.1 500 internal server error
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:23:34 GMT

At this stage the user does not know whether the ad has been created. The retry call with the same X-Mobile-Insertion-Request-Id: my-unique-id-for-this-ad as previously

Retry POST request
POST https://services.mobile.de/seller-api/sellers/28481/ads HTTP/1.1
X-Mobile-Insertion-Request-Id: my-unique-id-for-this-ad
Content-Type: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json

<some ad data>

responds with http status 303 when the ad has already been created in the initial call. The Location header will point to the ad created originally.

Response pointing to the ad created in the previous call
HTTP/1.1 303 See Other
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:23:34 GMT
Content-Type: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json
Location: https://services.mobile.de/seller-api/sellers/28481/ads/1001
Content-Length: 0

Otherwise the API responds with http status 201 as usual

Usual successful response
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:23:34 GMT
Content-Type: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json
Location: https://services.mobile.de/seller-api/sellers/28481/ads/1001
Content-Length: 0

The X-Mobile-Insertion-Request-Id must be unique per each ad creation.

If the user whats to create five different ads, five different values must be sent to the Seller-API. The same value must be resued only for the retry calls.

The recommended strategy to create unique values is to use a UUID generator.

List all sellers ads

GET /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads

  • It is not necessary to delete the images before deleting the ad.

  • Even though this call doesn’t return any data, please specify the Accept header in order to indicate representation of the error message should the call fails.

Images

Images associated with the ads are hosted by mobile.de which means that the image data must be uploaded to us through the Seller-API. Once an image is uploaded it is stored internally on the Picture Service and it is identified using a unique url, for example:

{
    "ref": "https://img.classistatic.de/api/v1/mo-prod/images/46/467621f9-dcca-4c7f-ba2b-5f50942d713b?rule=mo-640.jpg"
}

Upload Images Overview

There are two flows how the images are uploaded and associated with the ads.

Upload Images For Given Ad

This is the traditional flow which consists of the following steps.

  1. A new ad is created.

  2. All images are uploaded using a multipart request using the mobileAdId of newly created ad from step 1.

This flow has certain limitations:

  • All images are sent in a single request. When processing of a single image fails the API rejects the entrie call and all images must be uploaded again.

  • It is not the most efficient option from the performance perspective as all images are transmitted to us sequentially.

  • It is relatively difficult to implement a multipart http call in a correct way.

Images Uploaded Upfront

This is the recommended way of uploading the images

To mitigate the limitations of the previous image upload flow the Seller-API has been extended with a new functionality. The new flow consists of the following steps:

Upload images before ad creation

  1. Images are uploaded one by one using the Upload Image endpoint. Each call responds with the image reference.

  2. A new ad is created using the Create a new ad endpoint with the list of image references passed in the payload. Please refer to the example how to include images in the create ad call.

Associate images after ad creation

  1. A new ad is created using the Create a new ad endpoint.

  2. Images are uploaded one by one using the Upload Image endpoint. Each call responds with the image reference.

  3. Once all images are uploaded they are associated with the ad using the Associate images endpoint by passing a list of image references collected in the step 2 and the mobileAdId of newly created ad from step 1.

Alternatively the images can be associated using the regular Update an ad endpoint. It requires however passing the entire ad information rather than just the image references.

  • Steps 1 and 2 are independent and they could be done in any order also in parallel.

  • Step 2 requires multiple calls to upload individual images and:

    • it gives more granular control for the error handling - only the image that fails to process must be reuploaded rather than all images

    • images could be transmitted in parallel to make the entire process much shorter

    • it is a regular rest call (no multipart required) so it is much easier to integrate
Image Quality Requirements And Restrictions

  • The images have to be in JPG-format.

  • The maximum number of images per ad depends on the seller settings. Please refer to the retrieving seller information section for details.

  • The images must not be larger than 2097152 bytes.

  • The image width + height must not be smaller than 20 pixels.

  • The image width + height must not be larger than 9000 pixels.

  • The image colorspace must be RGB. CMYK is not possible.

  • Calls may take longer duration due to file uploading and storage, so consider checking the timeouts and/or retries in case of an error.

Upload Image

POST /seller-api/images

Uploads a single image to the mobile.de platform. Once uploaded the image could be associated with a newly created or existing ad.

If the number of returned images is smaller than in the request it means that some image references were not accepted. They were either broken or did not exist in our database anymore.

Upload images multipart

PUT /seller-api/sellers/:mobileSellerId/ads/:mobileAdId/images

Uploads images for an Ad identified by the mobileAdId path parameter. The API call to add images supports two modes:

Add pictures initially

All images, which are related to the ad are added to it via the API in one single call.

The content-type of the request entity must be multipart/form-data. The content type of a single part must be image/jpeg. The parts are named "image".

The images are attached to the ad in the same order as you put them into the request.

The response will be a list of image URLs. You have to store those URLs as a reference for future image operations an this ad.

Change pictures

After initially putting images to the ad you can also remove single images, change image order or add other images to the ad.

In this case a single part of the request entity contains either an image in the way described above or the internal image url. A part containing an internal image url must be named image-ref. Please note that external URLs will be rejected!

Just send another multipart request. You only need to provide binary image data for new images. All existing images are referenced by their picture-service-URLs. In this case the name of the single part is image-ref. Images that are no longer referenced will be deleted. New images included as binary data will be added. The order in the multipart request becomes the order of the ads images. Have a look at the below example.

Leasing

An ad can be extended with leasing information to show a specific number of leasing rates to the potential vehicle buyer. At the moment, we only support mileage leasing (kilometer leasing). And we only support offers to customers in Germany due to VAT regulations. Leasing information consists of some general information relevant for all leasing rates of this ad and specific rates. A leasing rate in this case is a combination of duration of the leasing contract in month, the annual mileage allowed in the contract terms and, in the future, a down payment. Currently, the down payment is always 0, but this might change in the future. It is not possible to submit two rates with the same annualMileage and termOfContract within the same rate type.

OBS

Under the business model “Online Buying and Selling” (short “OBS”, German: “Online-Kauf”) mobile.de buys the vehicle from the dealer and acts as the contracting party towards the end customer. To fulfil its legal duties towards end customers and to mitigate its liability risks, mobile.de is obliged to ensure that the condition of the sold vehicles is as advertised. Therefore, mobile.de requests from participating partner dealers additional information, especially vehicle documents and additional input about the vehicle’s condition. Furthermore, mobile.de asks its partner dealers for contact information that is required to handle the pickup from the dealer’s location and the shipping to the end customer as smoothly as possible.

The endpoints described in the following are used to enrich already existing classifieds listings (given by the mobileAdId) with OBS-relevant information to allow mobile.de to perform quality checks before publishing them under OBS. API users may further use these endpoints to read, alter and delete previously submitted OBS-relevant information. The endpoints use the already existing authentication of the Seller API.

Please, note that mobile.de currently explores the possibility of allowing its OBS partner dealers to sell directly to the end customer via Online-Kauf. Under this scenario mobile.de as a platform provider will, independently of its own liability risk towards the end customer, maintain its right to scrutinise listings and to request additional information for the advertised vehicles to ensure a high level of quality and transparency for all published Online-Kauf listings.

The number of OBS partner dealers is steadily growing and new partner dealers are signed for OBS individually. Please, note that mobile.de does not yet provide an endpoint for transfer service providers to query whether their customers take part in OBS or not.

The new endpoints can only be used for listings belonging to onboarded OBS partner dealers. API requests to the new endpoints will return a 403 error (“Forbidden”) if the listings do not belong to an onboarded OBS partner dealer. For test purposes, the sandbox test accounts API1 to API5 are marked as OBS partner dealers. For further information about test accounts, please refer to https://services.mobile.de/docs/seller-api.html#_test_account.

To ensure the eligibility of the classifieds listings for OBS, certain fields need to be filled. When creating classified listings to test the OBS specific endpoints, it is advised to use the following example values.

  • “vehicleClass”: “Car”

  • “condition”: “USED”

  • “mileage”: 40000

  • “firstRegistration”: “202301”

  • "numberOfPreviousOwners": 1

  • “consumerPriceGross”: "40000.00"

  • “accidentDamaged”: false

  • “roadworthy”: true

  • “damageUnrepaired”: false

Since verifying the quality of the enriched listings is partially a manual process, there is no automatic update / API response regarding the status of the listing (whether it was published under OBS or not). An additional GET endpoint may be included in later releases to cover this use case.

All fields described are optional. We encourage participating dealers and their contracted transfer service providers to submit as many details as possible. mobile.de maintains quality checks of all OBS listings and may not publish listings if critical information is missing. Further details are communicated to the participating dealers during the onboarding for OBS and via the dealer usage agreement (“Händlernutzungsvereinbarung”) for OBS.

Lastly, the upload of all documents, especially of damage images and the odometer photo, is of course free of charge and independent of the package booked by the dealer or API user.

Additionally it may contain a message body (error response) that provides more details about the error. The api tries to provide as much feedback as possible so the error response may contain more than one error.

Example
{
  "errors": [ (1)
    {
      "key": "category-empty" (2)
    },
    {
      "key": "make-empty" (2)
    }
    {
      "key": "mileage-empty" (2)
    }
  ]
}
1 List of errors.
2 The key element indicates what kind of error that is. Please refer to the next paragraphs for full reference of the error keys.

Sometimes the errors contains more details for individual error keys.

          "value": "vehicleClass"
        },
        {
          "key": "invalid-value",

Generic Error Keys

Error Key Description

invalid-path-parameter

The path parameter contains invalid value. E.g. expected value is a number but received a string.

Input Data Validation

Syntax Validation

The first level of validation is to check whether the data is syntactically correct according to the specified media type.

json-parse-error

This error key indicates that the submitted json is not syntactically valid.

Request
POST /seller-api/sellers/28480/ads HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json

{
  "vehicleClass": "Car,
  "make": "AUDI'
}
Response
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "key": "json-parse-error",
      "args": [
        {
          "key": "parser-message",
          "value": "Unterminated object at line 3 column 5 path $.vehicleClass"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Additional syntax validation error keys
Error Key Description

decoding-error

Character encoding/decoding error. Please use UTF-8.

wrong-root-type

Root xml element doesn’t match the data type specified for a given call. For example, the call expects Ad data but the submitted xml contains root element <seller>…​</seller>.

Semantic Validation

Once the data is syntactically correct the next step is to validate the data from the business perspective. This involves:

  • ensuring that mandatory fields are present. The actual set of mandatory fields depends on the vehicle class.

  • checking that specified values are correct, e.g. mileage can’t be negative or first registration date can’t be in the future

  • applying more complex rules to cross-check various fields, e.g. mileage can’t be higher than certain level for new cars

If inconsistent data is found, an error key is generated and sent to you in the response. The vehicle in question will not be uploaded. The significance behind these error key is that it is in both your and our interest to have as much data as possible in the database which is free of errors. A user will not appreciate receiving an offer of a vehicle that is only two years old when he/she is looking for a classic vehicle.

invalid-value

This error key is reported when the provided value doesn’t satisfy the field specification.

Sample Request
POST /seller-api/sellers/28480/ads HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.de.mobile.api+json

{
  "vehicleClass": "Vehicle",
  "category": "EstateCar",
  "make": "audi",
  "model": "A4",
  "modelDescription": "A3 sLine",
  "firstRegistration": 201012,
  "damageUnrepaired": false,
  "mileage": 12000,
  "price": {
    "consumerPriceGross": "8000"
  }
}
Sample Error Response
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "key": "invalid-value",
      "args": [
        {
          "key": "path",
          "value": "vehicleClass"
        },

          "value": "Vehicle"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

In this case the value Vehicle is incorrect for the field vehicleClass. Please check the vehicleClass field specification for more details.

EnVKV Data Validation Rules

EnVKV attributes are legally required for cars if either of the following conditions is true:

  • condition = "NEW"

  • condition = "USED" AND (mileage ≤ 1000 km OR firstRegistration ≤ 8 months ago)

Since we only have the first registration month, we calculate firstRegistration month + 8 months to determine if the data is required.

Example: First registration 01/2024: Data is required for this listing if the current month is September (09).

Empty values for required fields will result in a FUTURE_VALIDATION_ERROR warning, indicating that the field will become mandatory in the future. We highly encourage you to fill these fields. Please refer to the table below for more details on required fields.

The table below summarizes the rules how to enter EnVKV compliant values.

Field fuel= PETROL || DIESEL || LPG || ETHANOL || CNG || HYBRID || HYBRID_DIESEL || HYDROGENIUM (fuel= HYBRID || HYBRID_DIESEL) && hybridPlugin=true fuel= ELECTRICITY

FAQ

How to report an error, downtime or a bug?

Please send us a detailed description to service@team.mobile.de containing your Method, URL, Header, Content and Error- Code/Message

Where to find the internal number?

The internal number is a reference key used by the seller. Also known as internalNumber or internal-ID. If it is present, then it must be unique per seller. An empty string is treated same as if the element was not present. This field is restricted to a subset of UTF-8 characters. The option can be switched on/off by the dealer in his mobile.de account.

Difference between mobileSellerId / customerNumber?

All dealer accounts on mobile.de can be identified with their Seller-ID or their Customer Number. For all applicable requests (GET, POST, DELETE) please only use the Seller-ID.

How to prevent new ad placements?

New ad placements can be obtained by

  • deleting and replacing the same ad

  • renew an existing ad with the feature renewalDate

An ad can be renewed by using the feature renewalDate – this feature can also be used to request the information when an ad was formerly renewed. (Renewed ads will be displayed as New for three days on mobile.de. This feature comes with costs if the amount of free feature contingents has been already exceeded. Explanation how to here.
