Description

The CarQuery API Vehicle Data plugin uses simple short codes to add dependent vehicle year, make, mode, and trim dropdowns in your post or page.
The vehicle dropdown menus use AJAX requests to auto-populate using the CarQuery API from http://www.carqueryapi.com

  1. Download the plugin archive
  2. Extract all files from the zip archive
  3. Copy the carquery-api folder to the /wp-content/plugins directory
  4. Activate the plugin through the \’Plugins\’ menu in WordPress
  5. Use the shortcodes [cq-year] [cq-make] [cq-model] [cq-trim][cq-trim][cq-button] anywhere in your site to create automatically populated vehicle data dropdowns.

Where does this vehicle data come from?

The plugin uses data from the CarQuery API

What else can I use the CarQuery API for?

There are many other things you can do with the CarQuery API outside of what the plugin enables.
Visit the CarQuery documentation page for more details.

Can I download the CarQuery source data?

Yes, the CarQuery source data can be downloaded in CSV format. Just visit the CarQuery Download page!

Erm... does this even work?

Bad Documentation and NO SUPPORT

By cartagus on July 5, 2019

I used the plugin and had for many times this not user-friendly alert (Bad Response from CarQuery API.The service may not be available at this time.) I decided to purchase the data from the developer but he didn't provide any support and docs didn't cover data integration. I submitted more than 8 support tickets without any reply 🙁 )

Bad documemntation....
