Ideal
- API responses are returned immediately upon request.
Realistic
- API responses are delayed a certain amount of time based on average API response latency statistics that Smartcar has gathered for each supported brand.
A breakdown of estimated response latencies can be viewed by clicking on the ‘View latencies’ link directly underneath the Request Latency dropdown in the Dashboard. Please note latency estimates may not be available for all brands. In these cases, the Realistic setting will return immediate responses — same as Ideal.
