}About the firetruckmall.com API
The Fire Truck Mall API exposes fire apparatus listings from firetruckmall.com across 2 endpoints, returning up to hundreds of vehicles with 6 fields per listing — title, listing URL, image URL, numeric price, year, and specs. The get_all_trucks endpoint paginates the full catalog and filters out non-numeric price entries like 'Call For Custom Quote', so every record in the response has a usable dollar figure. A companion get_truck_dates endpoint retrieves listing dates for batches of inventory.
Catalog Retrieval with get_all_trucks
The get_all_trucks endpoint returns every fire truck listing across all pages of firetruckmall.com, fetched 100 per page. Each truck object includes title, listing_url, image_url, price (integer or float), year, and specs. Listings priced as 'Call For Custom Quote', 'Held on Deposit', or any other non-numeric string are excluded automatically. The response also includes a total_found integer reflecting only the count of valid-price listings returned.
Listing Dates with get_truck_dates
Because listing dates are tied to each truck's S3-hosted image, they are fetched separately via the get_truck_dates POST endpoint. Pass a JSON array of image_urls (gathered from get_all_trucks output) and the endpoint returns a dates object mapping each URL to its Last-Modified date string, or null if unavailable. An optional max_workers integer controls concurrency for the batch. The total field in the response confirms how many URLs were processed.
Data Shape and Coverage
The specs field on each truck object contains the vehicle specification text as listed on the detail page — body type, pump capacity, tank size, ladder length, and similar attributes vary by listing. Not every truck will have all spec fields populated; coverage depends on what the seller has entered. The year field reflects the vehicle's manufacture year when present in the listing.

Does firetruckmall.com have an official developer API?+
What does `get_all_trucks` return for listings without a numeric price?+
trucks array carries a usable numeric price value. The total_found count reflects only these included records.Does the API return individual truck detail pages or seller contact information?+
How fresh is the listing data?+
get_all_trucks reflects the current state of the firetruckmall.com listing pages at the time of the request. There is no caching layer within the API itself, so repeated calls will pick up newly added or removed listings. Listing dates retrieved via get_truck_dates depend on the Last-Modified timestamp of the associated S3 image, which may not always align exactly with when the listing was first published.Can I filter results by truck type, manufacturer, or location within the API?+
get_all_trucks returns the full catalog without server-side filtering by type, brand, or geography. Filtering on those dimensions has to be done client-side against the title and specs fields. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add filter parameters that narrow results before returning them.
