# Turn ACV Auctions into an API

> Read Title Hub statuses, pickup verification on your Sold page and condition reports from ACV Auctions with one API call each. A workflow can check them every weekday morning and flag each Upload Denied title and each sale still showing Pickup Not Verified.

Works with your own ACV Auctions account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on ACV

### Check pickup verification for sold vehicles

Reads the Sold page in My ACV for a date range, with each vehicle's Pickup Verification status and the time of the ACV Verify scan.

- Takes: Start date, end date, verification status (optional)
- Returns: Auction ID, VIN, year, make, model, sale date, pickup verification, verified at

### Get title statuses from Title Hub

Reads Title Hub in My ACV: each auction's current title status under Updates, such as Ship Title to ACV or Upload Denied, and any notes.

- Takes: Status (optional)
- Returns: Auction, vehicle, title status, notes

### Read a vehicle's condition report

Opens one vehicle's Condition Report in the Marketplace and reads the Announcement, the mechanical and body report, the OBDII scan and the paint meter readings.

- Takes: Auction ID or VIN
- Returns: Year, make, model, announcements, mechanical findings, body findings, OBDII codes, paint meter readings

### Place a proxy bid on a run list vehicle

Opens a vehicle from the Run List and places a proxy bid, the most you want to pay, before its auction starts.

- Takes: Auction ID or VIN, maximum bid in USD
- Returns: Auction ID, proxy bid amount, confirmation message, reserve met

## Automate ACV with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### Sold vehicles still waiting for a verified pickup

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00 Eastern

1. Check pickup verification for vehicles sold in the last 14 days.
2. Keep the ones still showing Pickup Not Verified at least 3 days after the sale date.
3. Email you the list with auction ID, VIN, year, make, model and sale date.

### Title Hub changes, sent to your title team

Starts: Every weekday at 9:00 Eastern

1. Get every auction's title status from Title Hub.
2. Keep the auctions whose status changed since the last run.
3. Post them to your Slack or DMS webhook, with Upload Denied ones and their notes first.

### Condition report summaries for your buyers' shortlist

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a list of auction IDs

1. For each auction ID, read the vehicle's condition report.
2. Summarize each vehicle's announcements, mechanical and body findings, OBDII codes and paint meter readings in three lines.
3. Email you the summaries, one vehicle per section.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Check pickup verification for sold vehicles” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "app.acvauctions.com/check_pickup_verification",
    "input": {
      "start_date": "2026-11-02",
      "end_date": "2026-11-11",
      "pickup_verification": "Pickup Not Verified"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "vehicles": [
      {
        "auction_id": "8124410",
        "vin": "1FTEW1EP0NKA00000",
        "year": 2022,
        "make": "Ford",
        "model": "F-150",
        "sale_date": "2026-11-04",
        "pickup_verification": "Pickup Not Verified",
        "verified_at": null
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## ACV’s own options

ACV's support pages document no public API for dealers. What they describe is the website and the ACV app for Apple and Android, plus an Export Data button on the Sold page in My ACV that downloads your sold auctions, or their pickup verification, as a spreadsheet file.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Export Data on the Sold page | Sold auctions for a date range, filtered by auction status and Private or Open listing. Transport Release gives pickup verification per vehicle. | An ACV account. The file opens in Google Sheets or Excel. |
| ACV app | Bidding and buying from a phone, for Apple and Android. Pickup verification is only on the website. | The same ACV account. |
| ACV by hand | Marketplace, Run List, condition reports and My ACV: Won, Sold, Title Hub, transport and payments, one screen at a time. | An ACV membership, which needs a dealer license. |

## Signing in to ACV

ACV signs you in with the email address you registered with as your username and a password, on the website or in the ACV app. With Fous you sign in once through ACV's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256 and never shown to your code or AI agents, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **Pickup slips are released on a timetable**: With an AuctionACCESS ID, the pickup slip is released by 11:00 AM ET the day after checkout. Without one, by 1:30 PM ET 5 calendar days after. Floor plan payments release it right away.
- **The arbitration window is 10 calendar days**: A buyer has 10 calendar days from the sale date to submit a claim, the day the seller accepts counting as day one. ACV Transport bought within 24 hours gives at least 4 days from delivery.
- **The export writes Verified At in UTC**: The Transport Release export dates Verified At in UTC and as day/month/year, so 03/10/2026 is October 3, 2026. The Sold page shows the same scan in your local time zone.
- **Your title team can have read-only roles**: ACV supports read-only roles in the Auctions application for title team members, so they can follow Title Hub. A title status update request covers one title, and ACV typically answers within 2 business days.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does ACV Auctions have an API?

ACV's support pages document no public API for dealers. They describe the website, the ACV app for Apple and Android, and an Export Data button on the Sold page in My ACV that downloads sold auctions or pickup verification as a file for Google Sheets or Excel.

### How do I export my sold auctions from ACV?

In My ACV, open Sold and click Export Data in the top right. Pick a start and end date, an Auction Status of Sold and a listing of Private, Open or All, then Confirm. Choose Transport Release as the status to get pickup verification for each vehicle instead.

### When do I get the pickup slip for a vehicle I won?

It depends on your account and payment. With an AuctionACCESS ID it is released by 11:00 AM ET the calendar day after checkout, otherwise by 1:30 PM ET 5 calendar days after. Paying with the ACV Capital floor plan, Advantage or NextGear Capital releases it immediately, and with ACV Transport it goes to the carrier.

### What do the Title Hub statuses mean?

They show where a title stands with ACV. Upload Title to ACV means a copy is due, ACV Analyzying Submission means ACV is reviewing it, Ship Title to ACV means it was approved and the label can be printed, Upload Denied means it has an error, and Title at ACV means ACV has received it.

### Is Fous affiliated with ACV Auctions?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own ACV account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of ACV Auctions (ACV Auctions). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
