CarsXE — Vehicle Images

Retrieve images for a vehicle using the CarsXE Images API.

Steps

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract:

   • make (required): vehicle manufacturer (e.g., BMW, Ford, Toyota)
   • model (required): vehicle model (e.g., X5, Mustang, Camry)
   • year (optional): 4-digit year (e.g., 2019)
   • trim (optional): specific trim level (e.g., Sport, Limited)
   • color (optional): vehicle color (e.g., red, black)
   • transparent (optional): true to return transparent background images
   • angle (optional): front, side, or back
   • photoType (optional): interior, exterior, or engine
   • size (optional): Small, Medium, Large, Wallpaper, or All
   • license (optional): Public, Share, ShareCommercially, Modify, or ModifyCommercially

   Example: /carsxe:images BMW X5 2019

2. If make or model are missing, ask the user to provide them.

3. Make an HTTP GET request:

   GET https://api.carsxe.com/images?key=<CARSXE_API_KEY>&make=<MAKE>&model=<MODEL>&source=claude_plugin[&year=<YEAR>][&trim=<TRIM>][&color=<COLOR>][&transparent=<TRANSPARENT>][&angle=<ANGLE>][&photoType=<PHOTOTYPE>][&size=<SIZE>][&license=<LICENSE>]
   

   Replace <CARSXE_API_KEY> with the value of the environment variable CARSXE_API_KEY. Only include optional parameters if the user specified them.

4. Present the results:

   • List all returned image URLs
   • Display each image inline if the environment supports it
   • Label each image with angle/type if available

5. Handle errors gracefully (no images found, invalid params, auth error).
