Find series by name, maker name, a generation's name, or a generation's chassis code. Series names match by normalized substring (width, case, kana), maker names by prefix, chassis codes by substring of the code as written (a slash-joined code is one string, not split). A generation matched by its name or chassis code is listed in matched_models. Returns {query, total, hits: [{series, maker, match

Get one series with the list of its generations (models) and the cited sources, and with a model_id also that generation in detail. Returns {series, maker, models, sources}, plus model when a model_id is given. Each entry in models has id, name, chassis_code, start_year, end_year (null = still on sale), description, source_url and its public page url; the list is always the whole series. model is

Get the relationships between generations (succession, sibling, derivation, spiritual successor). A series_id returns the relations of the whole series; a model_id returns only the relations that have that generation at either end. Returns {series_id, url, total, relations, next_offset}, plus model_id when given: each relation has kind and kind_name, kind_directed, from_model and to_model (each wi

Get the sales figures of a series. Without region_code it returns the overview {series_id, url, region_totals, lifetime, coverage, regions}; with region_code it returns that region year by year {series_id, url, region_code, region_totals, coverage, cells, figures, next_year_from}. region_totals sum years within one country only, so never add across countries or add a parent region to its children.

Use this when the user asks whether an aftermarket part (wheel, coilover, muffler, brake pad, intake and so on) fits a specific car generation, or which parts are confirmed to fit it. Pass the model_id of that generation from search_vehicles. Returns {model, url, total, parts, next_offset}. parts lists only the products that a published fitment table, such as the maker's own, names as fit or condi

Use this when someone looks for a place in Japan to have a car service done, such as a vehicle inspection (shaken), a self-service or hand car wash, a coating, a wheel alignment, or fitting coilovers, near a city or a point. Do not use it for car history or parts; use the other skills. Returns only shops confirmed to offer the service, nearest first, within radius_km of the origin: {service: {code
