CarQueryAPI Alternative Now Available - 411 AutoAPI (65K+ vehicles, free tier)

[simonizer69]

Hi there! 👋

I noticed this project uses CarQueryAPI, which has been offline since 2019.

I built 411 AutoAPI as a drop-in replacement with some key improvements:

• ✅ Same make/model/year/trim endpoints you're used to
• ✅ PLUS data CarQuery never had: towing capacity, oil specs, tire sizes, bolt patterns, horsepower
• ✅ 65,223 vehicle records across 5 datasets
• ✅ Free tier (100 requests/day) - no credit card required
• ✅ Sub-200ms response times (Cloudflare edge)
• ✅ Modern REST API with JSON responses
