Automate Manheim with a workflow

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get purchased vehicles” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.manheim.com/get_purchased_vehicles",
    "input": {
      "purchased_since": "2026-11-02"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "purchases": [
      {
        "vin": "1FTEW1EP5MKE00000",
        "year": 2021,
        "make": "Ford",
        "model": "F-150 XLT",
        "auction_location": "Manheim Northwind",
        "sale_date": "2026-11-10",
        "pickup_status": "Ready",
        "title_status": "Title Present",
        "inspection_status": "Ready",
        "gate_pass_available": true
      }
    ],
    "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.

Manheim’s own options

Manheim's APIs are requested product by product through the Cox Automotive API Storefront. Buyer APIs include Listings Search, Condition Reports and the Manheim Integrated Purchases Service, which shows your purchases for the past 13 months; seller APIs cover units, consignments and offerings. On Manheim.com itself, the Workbook exports to a spreadsheet and saved searches can email you results.

Signing in to Manheim

Manheim's guides describe signing in at Manheim.com with your username and password, and one account shows your transactions across all auctions in Post-Sale Management. With Fous you sign in once through Manheim's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Ready waits on inspections and payment

A vehicle with a requested Post Sale Inspection that is not complete is not shown as Ready, and payment is sometimes required first. You need the vehicle release from the Ready button to pick it up.

Two title statuses

Purchased vehicles show Title Present or Title Absent, and Title Absent vehicles may be delayed. A Blue Light in a live sale means the title was not present at sale time.

Vehicle and fees can be separate invoices

What I owe Manheim lists invoices you select one by one, and you may pay for a vehicle separately from its PSI fee. At Make Payment you can choose to wait until all holds are clear.

Proxy bids answer competing bids

Manheim.com bids up to your proxy amount only after a competing bid, never straight to your maximum.
