Inspection summary
view=summary returns provider conclusions, category counts, grades, dates, report links, and coverage. Supported sources include CARtech, Chaboshi, and supported Che168 reports.
An advertised report does not guarantee parsed data or a clean vehicle. A partial report can contain useful findings while still missing information.
Full findings
items to the provider categories, including normal, abnormal, unknown, absent, and uninspectable statuses, remarks, and original wording. Source grades and classifications vary between providers; do not treat them as a universal rating scale.
derived clearly separates API-calculated observations from provider conclusions. Compatibility fields such as had_simple_repair, damage_severity, and panel_damage are deprecated; prefer native categories and derived.
Physical-inspection accident, flood, and fire classifications describe the inspected vehicle. They are not proof of the absence of past insurance claims.
Insurance-event evidence
available is false. It can still return:
vehicle_report_advertised: whether a separate vehicle report is advertised.query_evidence: insurance-event lookup dates, notices, and receipt links from supported reports.- Source-provided ownership or usage context, when available.
no_records_returned does not establish a clean history. Preserve unknown and null values rather than turning missing data into a negative finding.
Report links may expire or require access from the report provider. Retain the listing’s source_url and the report’s original labels for traceability.
