Overview
The dealer OData API provides a way to retrieve dealer information. With multiple filter and expand options, this API can tell you anything from a list of dealers, to what products are assigned, to what radius the dealer has, depending on the Aimbase instance. This document will go over how you can use the OData Dealer API for your specific needs.
This is an OData endpoint, and it will support the OData query language. More information about this can be found at odata.org.
Possible Response Codes
- 200 (OK). This request was successful and information will be returned.
- 401 (Unauthorized). The token is missing or invalid.
- 404 (Not Found). The dealer was not able to be found.

The Dealer API requires authentication. The GET request will require a valid Authenticate message header with an API token. See the Aimbase Authentication Web Service Specification for more details on how to retrieve a valid API token.
