Edmunds API Python Wrapper

This is an awesome Python 2 wrapper for the Edmunds.com API. The Edmunds.com API provides automative data including vehicle specs, pricing, media, reviews, and more. There are also Edmunds API endpoints for dealership information and Edmunds editorial content.

Usage

Enter your Edmunds API key:

from edmunds import Edmunds
api = Edmunds('YOUR API KEY') # use Edmunds('YOUR API KEY', True) for debug mode

Make API calls to any endpoint, get a JSON object returned. For example, get the style details for the 2011 Lexus RX 350:

>>> response = api.make_call('/api/vehicle/v2/lexus/rx350/2011/styles')
>>> response
{u'styles': [{u'id': 101353967,
   u'make': {u'id': 200001623, u'name': u'Lexus', u'niceName': u'lexus'},
   u'model': {u'id': u'Lexus_RX_350',
    u'name': u'RX 350',
    u'niceName': u'rx-350'},
   u'name': u'4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)',
   u'submodel': {u'body': u'SUV', u'modelName': u'RX 350 SUV'},
   u'trim': u'Base',
   u'year': {u'id': 100533091, u'year': 2011}},
  {u'id': 101353968,
   u'make': {u'id': 200001623, u'name': u'Lexus', u'niceName': u'lexus'},
   u'model': {u'id': u'Lexus_RX_350',
    u'name': u'RX 350',
    u'niceName': u'rx-350'},
   u'name': u'4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)',
   u'submodel': {u'body': u'SUV', u'modelName': u'RX 350 SUV'},
   u'trim': u'Base',
   u'year': {u'id': 100533091, u'year': 2011}}],
 u'stylesCount': 2}

Get photos for the style ID 3883 (1990 Honda Civic 2dr Hatchback):

>>> response = api.make_call('/v1/api/vehiclephoto/service/findphotosbystyleid', comparator='simple', styleId='3883')
>>> response
[{u'authorNames': [u'American Honda Motor Company, Inc.'],
  u'captionTranscript': u'1991 Honda Civic 2 Dr Si Hatchback',
  u'photoSrcs': [u'/honda/civic/1991/oem/1991_honda_civic_2dr-hatchback_si_fq_oem_1_131.jpg',
