What it returns

The choices we list for the model. They carry no dollar amounts, colors or options, and they do not say whether a car is for sale near the buyer. With zip and year you get one yes or no, carsNearby, for whether a car like the one described is listed near the buyer. That answer has no count, dealership, town, distance or dollar amount, and it is not a promise that a car is for sale. If found is false, we list no such make and model: ask the buyer to check the spelling. Each connection can ask a limited number of times a day.

Errors

A call the tool cannot do answers with isError: true and a body of the form { "error": { "code": "...", "message": "..." } }. Branch on error.code; the codes are on the Errors page. A missing or no longer valid token gets a sign-in challenge instead: a JSON-RPC error with code -32001 and a WWW-Authenticate header. See Authentication.
