With the Response Metrics capability on Auto Trader Connect, you will have access to our advert performance data via the Stock API.
Here’s a full list of the functionality:
- Retrieve response metrics
- Stock list with response metrics
Stock list with response metrics
As part of this capability, you can access advert performance data via the Stock API.
To access this, you’ll need to make a GET request to the Stock API with:
- The advertiser ID of the dealer you want to get response metrics for
- The relevant page and pageSize parameters to make sure you get all stock split into pages
- The query string parameter responseMetrics=true
If successful, you’ll get a response that contains the vehicle data for all the dealer’s stock and the response metrics object.
The response metrics object returned will contain:
- Performance rating
- Search view rating
- Advert view rating
- Lead count rating
- Yesterday’s search and advert views
- Last week’s search and advert views
This data is not real-time and should only need to be requested once a day.
