- `GET /vehicles/{slugVin}/history` — retrieve available auction history
- `GET /vehicles/{slugVin}/related` — retrieve related vehicles
- `GET /vehicles/filters` — retrieve search filter metadata

Use the OpenAPI schema and endpoint reference as the source of truth for current parameters, validation rules and response fields.

## Data Notes

Field availability depends on the auction source and individual lot. Applications should handle nullable and changing values.

Supported live auction fields may update approximately every 10–15 seconds, while general vehicle records may update approximately every 30 minutes. These intervals are approximate and are not guaranteed for every vehicle.

Auction history coverage varies by VIN, source, date and record availability. An empty history response does not prove that a vehicle has never appeared at auction. Auction history is not a complete ownership, accident, registration or government title history.
