## Important for agents

- **There is no public API.** Applied EV markets vehicle APIs but publishes no developer portal,
  no API reference, no OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL contract, no SDK and no Postman collection that a
  member of the public can reach. Do not attempt to construct requests against these APIs from the
  marketing descriptions below — no base URL, authentication scheme, schema or error contract has
  been published.
- The developer host `developer.appliedev.com` and the identity host `sso.appliedev.com` exist in
  DNS and in Certificate Transparency but do not accept public connections. Access is presumed to
  require a customer tenant or a network allowlist.
- Access begins with a sales conversation at https://www.appliedev.com/?contact=true
