Works with your own mobile.de Händlerbereich account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on mobile.de

### Get new buyer inquiries

Reads the Anfragen (inquiries) in the Händlerbereich's Dialog-Center or Lead Manager: who asked about which vehicle, what they wrote and when.

- Takes: Received since (optional), status (optional)
- Returns: Buyer name, email, phone, vehicle, internal number, message, received at, status

### Get ad statistics for your stock

Reads the Analysen-Übersicht (analytics overview) for each active Inserat: how often it was shown, parked and contacted.

- Takes: Period (optional), internal number (optional)
- Returns: Ad title, internal number, price, impressions, parkings, emails, calls, WhatsApp contacts

### Check price ratings of your ads

Reads the price rating mobile.de shows for each active Inserat in the Inserats-Analyse (ad analysis), from very good price to high price.

- Takes: Internal number (optional)
- Returns: Ad title, internal number, price, price rating, search position

### Change the price of an ad

Opens one Inserat in the Händlerbereich, changes its price and saves it, then reads back the new price rating.

- Takes: Internal number, new price
- Returns: Ad title, internal number, old price, new price, price rating

## Automate mobile.de 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.

### New Anfragen to your sales team within 15 minutes

Starts: Every 15 minutes

1. Get the Anfragen received in the Händlerbereich since the last run.
2. Keep the inquiries that were not there on the last run.
3. Post each one, with buyer, vehicle, internal number and message, to your CRM or Slack webhook.

### Weekly performance report for every Inserat

Starts: Every Monday at 7:00

1. Get the ad statistics for all active Inserate for the last 7 days.
2. Check the price rating of each ad.
3. Group the ads with a high or increased price rating and few emails or calls.
4. Email you the report, with that group first.

### Price ratings that changed since the last check

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00

1. Check the price rating of every active Inserat.
2. Keep the ads whose price rating changed since the last run.
3. Email you the list with the old and the new rating.

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 “Get new buyer inquiries” 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": "login.mobile.de/get_new_buyer_inquiries",
    "input": {
      "received_since": "2026-11-12T07:00:00+01:00"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "inquiries": [
      {
        "buyer_name": "Jordan Example",
        "email": "jordan@example.com",
        "phone": "+49 30 0000000",
        "vehicle": "Volkswagen Golf 1.5 TSI Life",
        "internal_number": "NW-2291",
        "message": "Is the car still available? I would like to book a test drive on Saturday.",
        "received_at": "2026-11-12T08:14:00+01:00",
        "status": "In progress"
      }
    ],
    "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.

## Mobile.de’s own options

mobile.de documents three APIs on services.mobile.de. The Seller-API manages ads, images, statistics, price ratings and dealer ratings, and the Lead API delivers leads to registered partners. Customer Support activates both, the Seller-API also for self-uploading dealers. The Insights API is only for members of its Data Partner Program.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seller-API | Creates, updates and deletes ads and images, and reads ad statistics, price ratings and dealer ratings. | A transfer service provider or self-uploading dealer, activated by Customer Support, with HTTP Basic credentials per API user. |
| Lead API | Reads leads, their events (submitted, buyer replied) and their status (in progress, sold, not interested, spam). | A transfer service provider or lead management system partner registered with mobile.de, activated by Customer Support. |
| Insights API | Performance comparison, sales probability, market health and search result position for car ads. | Membership in the mobile.de Data Partner Program, through its partner management team. |
| The Händlerbereich by hand | Inserate, Anfragen in the Dialog-Center and Lead Manager, the Analysen-Übersicht, the Inserats-Analyse and the Preisplaner. | A mobile.de dealer account. |

## Signing in to mobile.de

You work in the Händlerbereich with your mobile.de dealer account. The Seller-API and Lead API use separate credentials that Customer Support issues to each API user, and every account of a company group uploads with its own credentials. With Fous you sign in once through mobile.de's own sign-in with your own dealer account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and code and AI agents never see it.

## Worth knowing

- **Some ads can only be changed by hand**: An ad marked uploadSticky can only be changed in the Händlerbereich, and changes to it through the Seller-API are rejected.
- **Each account stands on its own**: In a company group, mobile.de treats every account separately, and each uploads with its own credentials. A method reads and does only what the account it signs in with can.
- **Speed decides the inquiry**: mobile.de reports that a buyer sends 2.4 inquiries on average and that answering within 15 minutes gives the best chances. About 40 percent of buyers expect an answer within two hours.
- **A price cut notifies past viewers**: When you lower an ad's price by at least 1 percent, mobile.de emails the buyers who viewed it in the last 14 days. A price rating is available shortly after an ad is created.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the mobile.de Händlerbereich have an API?

Yes, three. Its Seller-API manages ads, images, statistics, price ratings and dealer ratings for transfer service providers and self-uploading dealers, and the Lead API serves transfer service providers and lead management partners; Customer Support activates both. The Insights API is for members of the Data Partner Program.

### Can I receive mobile.de inquiries without email?

Yes, through a lead management system connected to the Lead API. mobile.de's spring 2026 update lets leads be sent by API instead of email. Without such a system, Anfragen arrive in the Händlerbereich, where a method you build can read them for a workflow.

### Why does the Seller-API reject my change to an ad?

The ad is probably marked uploadSticky. mobile.de documents that such an ad can only be changed within the Händlerbereich and that modifications through the Seller-API are rejected.

### What price ratings can a mobile.de ad get?

Five, from very good price through good, reasonable and increased to high price, or no rating. mobile.de rates the price by comparing it with similar offers, and the rating helps buyers assess the price.

### Is Fous affiliated with mobile.de GmbH?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own mobile.de dealer 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 mobile.de Händlerbereich (mobile.de GmbH). 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.
