Workflow

/filtersget available filter values

/offersget listings (with or without filters) - use for initial data load

For updates (to keep data up-to-date after initial load):

/change_id?date=...get starting ID for changes feed

/changes?change_id=...get all changes in the database starting from ID

/offerget details of a specific listing by inner_id

Integration best practices:

1. Begin by fetching the complete dataset via /offers - page through all results for initial import

2. Set up scheduled calls to /changes to track new listings, price updates, and deletions for ongoing synchronization

3. For user-facing features, query /offers with filtering parameters (make, model, price range, year) and pagination controls

GET/filters

Returns all possible values for filtering
