LMN’s Open API gives partners programmatic access to Korean used-car inventory (auction + dealer sources) and a full order-lifecycle integration: browse → bid commitment → acquisition → Korean export → ocean shipping → delivery confirmation.

​
What you can do

Browse inventory

Filter the live catalog by make, model, year, mileage, price, auction-house, accident grade, and more. Returns landed-cost estimates per vehicle.

Place orders

Commit to a vehicle on behalf of your dealer with a bid ceiling. LMN handles bidding/purchasing on your behalf.

Receive webhooks

Real-time event notifications on order state changes — no polling required.

Push fulfillment

Confirm post-departure events (in transit, customs, delivered) to close the loop.

​
Operational boundary

LMN handles inventory aggregation, bidding/purchasing, Korean-side export logistics, and vessel loading. Partners handle dealer identity & KYC, ocean freight booking after vessel handoff, destination customs, and local delivery. See conventions for the full split.

​
Money model

No upfront deposits. Order creation is a bid commitment, not a payment. Payment owed only on secured (auction win), wire transfer same US business day. Partner-to-dealer payment arrangements are entirely outside this API.

Stable contract

The API is versioned via the /v1/ prefix. Breaking changes increment the major version with a 90-day deprecation window. Non-breaking additions (new optional fields, new endpoints) ship under v1 without notice. See changelog.
