AutoRaptor scores D on the API Report Card. No public API. AutoRaptor's integration surface is ADF-XML lead intake over email plus 90+ bilateral partner integrations with DMS, inventory, and credit vendors. There is no developer portal, OpenAPI spec, OAuth, sandbox, or SDK; custom work routes through partner enablement.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
AutoRaptor is an independent-dealer-focused automotive CRM founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 2006.
Auto Dealer Management, specifically the independent used-car dealer segment, including single rooftops, small dealer groups, BHPH (buy-here-pay-here) operators, and smaller franchise dealers who don't need (or can't afford) VinSolutions/Elead/DealerSocket pricing. A used-car shopper submits a lead through a dealer website, Carfax, Cars.com, CarGurus, Facebook Marketplace or a phone call.
Medium within the independent-dealer niche, low overall versus tier-1 franchise CRMs.
AutoRaptor sits on the sales-side operating record of an independent used-car dealership: every inbound lead and its source (website, third-party listing, CTI call, walk-in), every customer record with full PII and contact history, every SMS, email, chat and voice conversation (subject to TCPA opt-in/opt-out tracking and message logging), every sales activity and BDC touch, appointment and show outcome, the vehicle-of-interest pulled from the integrated inventory feed, credit pull metadata via 700Credit, vehicle-history pulls via Carfax/AutoCheck, deal pencils and pricing scenarios, and the handoff payload pushed to the DMS for F&I and titling.
Mature. AutoRaptor has been operating continuously since 2006, making it nearly two decades old, older than most independent-dealer CRMs in the market and contemporary with DealerSocket (2001) and VinSolutions (2006).
GetApp's product database lists AutoRaptor CRM as not having an API available, signaling no self-serve developer access for dealers or integrators. AutoRaptor's own Integrations page describes 90+ partner integrations but contains zero references to a public API, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, sandbox or SDK, requiring integrators to contact support. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include VinSolutions (Cox Automotive), Elead CRM (CDK Global), DealerSocket (Solera), DriveCentric, ProMax, Selly Automotive. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial AutoRaptor API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write AutoRaptor data. See the AutoRaptor integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/autoraptor-api.
