Autobell Global API: Hyundai Glovis Export Stock as a Feed

Autobell Global in context

Hyundai Glovis runs several used car channels under the Autobell name. Autobell Global is the export one, Autobell serves the domestic market, and Autobell Auction is the dealer auction. In KoreaCarsAPI these are three separate sources, so you can read them on their own or together.

KoreaCarsAPI is an independent data service and is not affiliated with Hyundai Glovis or Hyundai Motor Group.

Who builds on Autobell Global data

Export listings are most useful to people who resell or present Korean cars abroad.

• Importers who show Korean export stock on their own website, in their own language and currency.
• Exporters who track what a large group lists for export and how its prices move.
• Agents who send clients a shortlist and want specs and photos in a consistent English format.
• Developers building catalogue tools that need a clean, regular sync.

What a record contains

Autobell Global records follow the common marketplace format. The vehicle part has year, brand, model, generation, trim, engine volume, fuel, transmission, body type, colour and options. The listing part has the Autobell Global URL, title, odometer, price with currency, images, created_at, updated_at, last_seen_at and a price history.

Images come as original links in the full set, so you can choose how to cache or resize them on your side. Ask for lang=en to get English values for fields that have a translation.

Which fields are filled depends on the listing, so design your pages to cope with gaps: a missing trim or colour should show as not stated, not as an error. When a listing carries public inspection or history data, it comes back in inspections[] and vehicle_history_reports[], and it is worth showing to buyers abroad, who cannot see the car in person. A missing report never means a clean history.

Building a feed with GET /cars

A feed needs two things: a full first load and a regular refresh. GET /cars does both. Each call returns a batch of active vehicles and a next_url; follow next_url until it runs out. Narrow it to Autobell Global with domains[] and keep marketplace listings only with is_auction=false.

# SOURCE_ID is the Autobell Global entry from GET /domains
curl --get https://api.auctionsapi.com/cars \
  -d is_auction=false \
  -d "domains[]=SOURCE_ID" \
  -d lang=en \
  -d api_key=$API_KEY

# Then call next_url from each response until there is none

Practical tips for a public feed

Showing data to your own customers raises the bar on freshness and accuracy.

• Hide cars once last_seen_at falls behind your refresh cycle, so buyers do not ask about stock that is gone.
• Store the price with its currency and convert on display, not on import.
• Use car_id as the stable key in your database and keep the external.url for reference.
• Map brands and models through GET /brands and GET /models/{brand_id} so filters on your site use one vocabulary.
• Show options from the translated options dictionary rather than free text.

Autobell Global with the other Autobell sources

Because Hyundai Glovis runs export, domestic and auction channels, the three Autobell sources together give an unusual view of one group's used car flow. Comparing a model on Autobell Global with the same model on Autobell shows how export and domestic asking prices differ. Adding Autobell Auction shows lot data on the dealer side.

Beyond Autobell, other export marketplaces such as Autowini and Sena Auto broaden the export picture, all in the same record format.

Before you go live, you can ask for a demo key and test the feed on a staging copy of your site. Paid access depends on which sources you add and how much data you pull.
