Get genuine parts from partslink24 through an API

Look up the genuine parts for a VIN in a partslink24 brand catalogue and read your shopping basket with one API call each. A workflow can take each job's VIN from your workshop system and post the part numbers back before the car is on the lift.

Works with your own partslink24 account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate partslink24 with a workflow

A workflow 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.

    When your workshop system calls the workflow's webhook with a job's brand, VIN and parts
    Step 1
    For each part on the job, find the genuine parts for the VIN in the brand's catalogue.
    Step 2
    Keep the part number, description and quantity for each one.
    Step 3

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 “Find genuine parts by VIN” 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": "www.partslink24.com/find_genuine_parts",
    "input": {
      "brand": "Volkswagen",
      "vin": "WVGZZZE2ZPX000000",
      "part": "front brake pads"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "brand": "Volkswagen",
    "vin": "WVGZZZE2ZPX000000",
    "model": "ID.4",
    "model_year": 2023,
    "parts": [
      {
        "part_number": "1EA 698 151 X",
        "description": "Set of brake pads, front axle",
        "quantity": 1
      },
      {
        "part_number": "1EA 698 269 X",
        "description": "Wear indicator, front",
        "quantity": 2
      }
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
}

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.

Partslink24’s own options

LexCom's own pages describe no API for partslink24 users. The catalogues are used in the browser with a subscription, and workshop software vendors document importing the shopping basket as a CSV file. After registering you can also buy fee-based download products, which vary by country.

Signing in to partslink24

partslink24 signs you in with a Company ID / partslink24 ID, a user name and a password. A user with admin rights can create further users under the same company ID. With Fous you sign in once through partslink24's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never shown to code or AI agents, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

An enquiry is not yet an order
Check & Submit sends your basket to the dealer you selected. The dealer is free to reply with an offer, and a binding purchase order exists only once you accept that offer.
One catalogue per brand
Each of the 55 brands opens its own catalogue, and the Volkswagen one is browsed by model, year and restrictions. A method takes the brand as an input.
Logins belong to a company ID
Every login is a company ID plus a user name. Further users under the same company ID are created by the admin user, so each colleague can sign in with a user of their own.
The basket is the hand-over point
What workshop systems import from partslink24 is the shopping basket as CSV: articles, prices, descriptions and labour values. Reading the basket gets you the same items as JSON.

Frequently asked questions

Not one that LexCom describes on its own pages. You use the catalogues in the browser, export the shopping basket as a CSV file for workshop systems that import it, and can buy fee-based download products after registering. With Fous you build methods that return the same data as JSON.

Export the shopping basket as CSV and import it, if your workshop system reads partslink24's format. The items then arrive as articles with prices, descriptions and labour values. With Fous, a method reads the basket and a workflow posts it to your system's webhook.

You select a dealer and send your basket from the Check & Submit page. That is an enquiry: the dealer decides whether to reply with an offer, and the order becomes binding when you accept it.

The homepage shows the price for your country. For the Czech Republic it lists net €23.00 a month on a yearly subscription, net €29.00 a month on a monthly one and net €12.00 for One Day Access, plus VAT.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own partslink24 account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
