Car images API — the right model, year and color, on a transparent background
Send a make, model, year and color and get back a realistic vehicle image with a transparent background, ready for your website, app, quotes or listings. No photo shoots, and no stock photos that look nothing like the car.

What you get from the vehicle images API
The right model and generation
The model year picks the generation and facelift: a 2012 Golf does not look like a 2024 one. Body shape, grille, headlights and wheels match the model.
The car's color
White, black, metallic grey, dark blue, pearl red and the rest, with tone and finish (metallic, pearl, matte) taken into account.
Transparent background
WebP with an alpha channel and a soft shadow under the wheels. Place the car on any background in your brand colors, with no manual cut-outs.
One angle for every car
Front three-quarter view, camera at headlight height, like a configurator. Your listings look consistent instead of a collage of different photos.
Any model, on demand
Not in the library yet? We render it while you wait, in ~10 seconds, and it stays cached for every later request.
Your licence plate
On Business and Pro, the plate can show your company name, or the car can have no plate at all.
Car image examples
Every image below is exactly what the API returns, with no retouching: hatchbacks, SUVs, EVs, vans and motorcycles.
How the API works
The API is plain REST, authenticated with an API key in the Authorization header. Each make, model, year and color combination is rendered once; after that, the image is served instantly from the library through a CDN.
Request
Response
{
"success": true,
"status": "ready",
"vehicle": {
"make": "VOLKSWAGEN",
"model": "GOLF",
"year": 2024,
"color": "grey",
"category": "passenger car"
},
"image": {
"url": "https://evita-amenzi.ro/verifica/assets/img/cars/gen/6a/6a388e6b....webp",
"format": "webp",
"width": 600,
"height": 400,
"background": "transparent"
}
}
If the model is not in the library yet, the response comes back immediately with "status": "pending" and "retry_after": 10. Rendering takes ~10 seconds; request the same URL again to get the image. You are not charged twice.
Who uses car images by API
Car dealers and used-car lots
A clean image for cars that have not been photographed yet, stock in transit or factory orders.
Insurers and comparison sites
The customer sees their own car on screen, not a grey silhouette, so the quote feels made for them.
Leasing and car finance
Offers and contracts showing the exact vehicle being financed, generated from the application data.
Fleet management apps
Every vehicle in the fleet with its own picture, so drivers and dispatchers recognise it at a glance.
Garages, car washes and inspection centres
Bookings and invoices with the customer's car on them. Looks professional and avoids mix-ups at the front desk.
Car rental and marketplaces
A consistent catalogue across every car class, on any background, without a photo shoot every time the fleet changes.

Your licence plate, included
From the Business plan, the plate shows your company name or no plate at all, at no extra cost.

Get the car's image straight from a Romanian licence plate number.
Unlimited traffic
You pay only for unique images. Views and repeat requests are free, with no monthly cap.
Car images API vs. vehicle stock photos vs. a photo shoot
| Car images API | Stock photos | Photo shoot | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exact model and year | Yes, every combination | Rarely, mostly new models | Yes |
| The car's color | Yes | Whatever exists | Yes |
| Transparent background, same angle | Yes, always | Varies | With post-production |
| Time to image | Instant / ~10 seconds | Manual search | Days |
| Cost per image | €0.007 – €0.02 | A few euros and up | Tens of euros |
| Automation | Yes, REST + JSON | No | No |
API images are illustrative renders of the model, not photos of a specific vehicle. To show the real condition of a used car (scratches, options), you still need your own photos.
Integration examples
JavaScript (fetch)
async function carImage(make, model, year, color) {
const q = new URLSearchParams({ make, model, year, color });
const url = `https://api.evita-amenzi.ro/v1/images?${q}`;
const opts = { headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } };
for (;;) {
const r = await (await fetch(url, opts)).json();
if (r.status === 'ready') return r.image.url;
await new Promise(ok => setTimeout(ok, (r.retry_after || 10) * 1000));
}
}
Python
import requests
r = requests.get(
"https://api.evita-amenzi.ro/v1/images",
params={"make": "Tesla", "model": "Model 3", "year": 2026, "color": "red"},
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
).json()
if r["status"] == "ready":
print(r["image"]["url"])
