Public API

A JSON API that mirrors the chiptuning catalog hierarchy: Vehicle Type → Brand → Model → Generation → Engine → Tuning File. Currently indexing 337 brands and 908 tuning files.

01

Authentication

All catalog endpoints are public — no auth required for casual exploration. To unlock higher rate limits and usage tracking, send an API key in the X-API-Key header (or as ?api_key= query param). Keys are minted from the admin dashboard.

curl -H "X-API-Key: dv_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" https://dynovault.net/api/stats

Per-key minting

Admin creates labeled keys with a per-minute rate limit.

Sliding window

Rate-limited at the minute granularity; 429 on overflow.

Anonymous OK

Endpoints work without a key — limits apply only when one is sent.
