API
Car image API. Automate AI automotive image processing into your systems.
Programmatic access to the full platform — every Studio feature, callable from your own code. Integrate AI car photography into your DMS, stock intake, or internal tools, and every car is processed automatically as it enters your system.
What the API does
For when processing should happen without a human uploading each photo.
The web and mobile apps cover individual dealer workflows; the API is for when processing should happen automatically, without anyone uploading each photo. A group wires it into stock intake so new cars trigger processing with the group's studio, branding, and plate handling. A DMS provider embeds Motuva inline, with no separate login. A stock aggregator standardises presentation at ingestion.
Auth & account structure
One API key, the same image allowance as web and mobile.
Every call draws from the same monthly image allowance as web and mobile, tied to one key on your Motuva account. Group and DMS integrations typically run on Ultra (unlimited, same price a single dealer pays); sub-accounts for DMS providers are supported via Enterprise.
No credit system
One monthly plan covers all usage from one pool.
API access is included on Ultra. Calls draw from the same monthly allowance as web and mobile — no per-call fees, no API credit packs, no expiry. One plan, one pool, cancel anytime.
Every feature, programmable
The full platform, callable from your own code.
Submit a photo, specify (or name) a studio config, receive processed images. Reference one saved config across all calls for consistent output.
Account logo settings apply automatically; override per call if needed.
Applied to every processed image, no separate step.
Submit batches in one call; response carries per-image status for retries.
Images available via URL on completion; webhook callbacks so you're not polling. Pull from CDN or push to your storage.
