With the Co-Driver Generated Description capability on Auto Trader Connect, you will have access to generate AI powered descriptions by utilising the Co-Driver API endpoints.
Here's a full list of the functionality:
-
Request generated description
The data that is returned can be patched back to the specific stock advert, after a human user has confirmed they are happy with the description being created.
Request generated descriptions
As part of the Co-Driver Generated Description capability partners will be need to request a description from the endpoint including the vehicles stockId and description=true. Partners will need to use a POST request to the new co-driver endpoint, including the stock items stockId in the request.
This request will produce a vehicle description for your specified stock item. To use this description it will then need to be added to the stock record as part of a PATCH request via the Stock API, once reviewed and the retailer is happy with the description that has been generated.
To generate a description the minimum required fields are:
-
vehicles derivativeId
-
firstRegistrationDate
-
batteryRangeMiles
To produce a more optimal vehicle description is recommended to include:
-
odometerReadingMiles
-
previousOwners
-
serviceHistory
-
vehicles features
Please note: Our sandbox generated descriptions returns stubbed data, so the quality of the generated descriptions will not be production level in sandbox.
