Before you start
Step 1
You need a partner key to be issued by NetLook. You may request your NVR-API key, and register your application by contacting our support department at support@netlook.com.
- a. Include your business name and contact information in the request.
- b. If you have an existing partnership with NetLook on our “Data Polling” or our “3rd Party Exporting” projects please indicate if you wish to obtain the same access to data granted through those projects previously.
Step 2
NetLook will respond to you with your Client_ID and Client_Secret_Key. You will need to utilize this information to access the NVR-API.
Step 3
Familiarize yourself with the core concepts of the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data format. JSON is a common, language-independent data format that provides a simple text representation of arbitrary data structures. For more information, see json.org.
Accessing Dealer Data
Step 1
To gain access to specific dealership data, we will need to coordinate permission from the dealership to grant access and set up permissions for the partner to access customer data.
- a. Please send an email request to support@netlook.com
- b. The Email should contain a “Subject” indicating your partner name and referencing API permissions.
For Example:
XYZDealer Websites Inc, requesting API permissions for Dealer XYZ
- c. The Email “Body” can contain a dealer key, dealer name, dealer address, and contact information for a person employed by the dealer who can grant rights to access the dealer data. Please provide as much information as you can. This will help to expedite our response to your request.
For Example:
API Customer: XYZDealer Websites, Inc
Requested Permission: We need read permissions
Requested Dealer: Dealer XYZ (dealer key = ABCD1234)
1234 Anywhere St
Somewhere, ST, 11111
Dealer Contact: John Doe, Used Car GM
jdoe@dealerxyz.com
Step 2
NetLook will respond to you with your Client_ID and Client_Secret_Key. You will need to utilize this information to access the NVR-API.
