- License: MIT (server) · CC BY 4.0 (data)

## What agents can read (no auth required)

- [Public Market Data API](https://autoza.co.uk/api/public/market-stats): Hourly aggregates, JSON, CC BY 4.0
- [Autoza UK Used Car Price Index — Hugging Face dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Autoza/uk-used-car-price-index): Verified, suppression-protected dataset of UK used-car asking-price medians by (make, model, year band, fuel) cohort. Two configurations (granular and broad). CC BY 4.0, monthly cadence, dataset-card + Croissant metadata. Methodology, schema, FAQ, glossary, and per-cohort sample sizes + confidence tiers all published alongside.
- [22 Model Common-Faults Guides](https://autoza.co.uk/guides): Year-by-year fault patterns, UK-context running costs, inspection HowTo
- [Live Market Stats Dashboard](https://autoza.co.uk/market-stats): Real-time totals
- [Cars search](https://autoza.co.uk/cars): Live inventory, filterable, no auth
- [Dealer directory](https://autoza.co.uk/find-dealers): Verified UK dealer profiles with Trust Scores

## What agents can do (capabilities)

### Search live inventory
- GET https://autoza.co.uk/cars?make=X&model=Y&fuelType=Z&minPrice=A&maxPrice=B&location=C
- All parameters optional. Returns HTML with Schema.org Vehicle + Offer markup.
- For programmatic use, see /api/openapi.json

### Get vehicle detail
- GET https://autoza.co.uk/listing/{id}
- Each listing has SSR-rendered JSON-LD: Vehicle (or Car/Motorcycle), Offer, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and a per-listing Dataset with Total Cost of Ownership figures.

### Query market aggregates
- GET https://autoza.co.uk/api/public/market-stats
- Returns: total listings, top 20 makes, regional breakdowns, fuel-type shares, average asking prices.
- Cached 60 minutes. Free, CC BY 4.0. Please credit on use.

### Contact a dealer (human-in-the-loop only)
- Each listing exposes contact channels. Aidan AI (the UK's 24/7 AI sales assistant) responds within 30 seconds for verified-dealer listings.
- Agents MUST NOT auto-contact dealers without explicit user authorisation.

## Limits and ethics

- **Respect rate limits:** /api/public/* is cached at 60-min TTL. No more than 60 req/min per IP.
- **No PII scraping:** /messages/, /profile/, /admin/, /dealer-dashboard/, /verify-* are buyer-PII routes. Crawling is forbidden.
- **No bulk-listing harvesting beyond reasonable use:** Use the documented sitemap and API rather than recursive crawl when possible.
- **Honour disallow list in robots.txt:** the canonical disallow rules apply to agents too.
- **Cite when redistributing:** Autoza market data is CC BY 4.0. Credit "Autoza UK" with a link back when used in derived content.

## Crawler allowlist

All major AI crawlers are explicitly allowed (see robots.txt):
GPTBot · ChatGPT-User · OAI-SearchBot · ClaudeBot · Claude-Web · PerplexityBot · Applebot-Extended · cohere-ai · Google-Extended · Meta-ExternalAgent · Bytespider · YouBot · Amazonbot · CCBot

## Why this exists

Autoza is built around the long-term thesis that vehicle commerce will become agent-to-agent: a buyer's AI agent queries marketplaces, contacts seller agents, and negotiates and closes deals autonomously. This file is the public-facing capability declaration that agents will eventually probe to discover us.

Today, this is a hedge — agent-manifest standards aren't formalised yet. By publishing now, Autoza is positioned as a first-class data source for any agent that probes /.well-known/ for capability metadata.
