Chaiz Partner API
Chaiz is a marketplace for vehicle service contracts (VSCs, also called extended warranties). You send us a vehicle and a location. We collect live rates from a network of warranty administrators, score and rank the results, and hand back priced plans your customer can buy.
You choose how much of the purchase you want to run yourself. That is the only significant decision in this integration, and it takes one page: Choose Your Integration.
Using the Chaiz API means agreeing to our API License and Acceptable Use Policy. These terms are non-negotiable and the API is provided as-is. For feedback, feature requests, or specific needs, contact your account manager or email dev-support@chaiz.com.
Chaiz owns the quoting, the ranking, and (unless you choose otherwise) the checkout, the payment, and the contract. You own the customer relationship and the moment of the offer.
What you can do
| Capability | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Plan search | Live quotes by VIN, license plate, or make/model/year, with pricing, coverage detail, deductibles, provider ratings, and durations |
| Handoff URLs | Every result carries links to a Chaiz plan page and a Chaiz checkout, so you never touch payment data |
| Leads | Post a customer and a vehicle; we run the search and email them their best options |
| Orders | Create the order yourself if you want to own checkout and payment end to end |
| Vehicle lookup | Resolve loose make and model text into exact catalog values before searching |
Base URLs
| Environment | Base URL |
|---|---|
| Production | https://api.chaiz.com |
| UAT (integration testing) | https://chaiz-api-uat.azurewebsites.net |
Every endpoint in these docs is versioned under /api/v2/. Build and test against UAT first; it runs
the same code as production against test data, and orders placed there are not real sales.
What you need before you start
- An API key. Email dev-support@chaiz.com to be onboarded, which is how you get your own branding, the plans you want to sell, higher rate limits, and attribution set up. You can also self-register in about two minutes to prototype against Chaiz defaults. See Authentication.
- A vehicle identifier. A VIN is the most accurate. A license plate plus state, or a make/model/year plus mileage, also work. See Plan Search Reference.
- The customer's state and current mileage. Pricing depends on both, so neither is optional.
Next steps
- Quickstart gets you a real quote and a working checkout link in about ten minutes.
- Choose Your Integration is the one decision you need to make. Read it before writing code.
- API Reference is the full endpoint and schema documentation.
