How do I get API access?

You can request API access through our documentation page. CIECA members receive priority approval and automatic key generation. Non-members are reviewed within 24-48 hours.

What formats does CODEX support for estimates?

CODEX supports multiple export formats including BMS (industry standard), XML (CIECA compliant), JSON (API integration), and PDF (human readable).

API Integration

What are the rate limits for API calls?

Rate limits vary based on your subscription tier. Initial limits range from 100 requests/hour for basic access up to 50,000 requests/hour for enterprise users. Contact support for custom limits.

How do I authenticate API requests?

Use your API key in the Authorization header: 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'. All API communications use HTTPS encryption.

Can I test the API before going live?

Yes! We provide a sandbox environment for testing. Use the sandbox endpoint in your integration testing to avoid affecting production data.

All APIs return JSON by default. You can request specific formats (XML, BMS, PDF) using the 'Accept' header or format parameter.

Our estimates achieve 95%+ accuracy for standard repairs. Each component includes a confidence score to help you identify areas that may need review.

Does CODEX handle ADAS calibrations automatically?

Yes! CODEX automatically detects required ADAS calibrations based on damage areas, repair operations, and OEM requirements. It includes specific procedures and cost estimates.

Can I customize estimates for specific DRP requirements?

Absolutely. CODEX supports carrier-specific DRP rules and automatically applies appropriate labor rates, parts preferences, and compliance requirements.

How does regional pricing work?

Our adaptive intelligence system automatically adjusts labor rates, parts costs, and material prices based on your geographical location and current market conditions.
