SETTING UP HONDA WEB API INTEGRATION
STATUS OF THIS ENHANCEMENT
Our Honda Web API Integration is available in Australia only
It has passed the Honda testing and is currently with our pilot Dealerships
WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE
Honda Web API integration is now available with Blackpurl for the following APIs:
- Part Inventory Upload
- Service Data Upload
- Submit Orders
- Download Invoice Data
HOW TO SET IT UP
To enable this functionality, please email support@blackpurl.com your request and provide the following details
1. Dealer Number - As supplied by Honda
2. Honda Vendor Code - This is the vendor code of Vendor: Honda in Blackpurl
Navigate to the relevant Vendor Record for Honda in your Blackpurl and provide the Vendor Code.
For example - the Vendor Code for the Vendor Record below is HON
3. Web Key Number - As supplied by Honda
4. Username and Password to the Honda API - this is how the dealership logs into the Honda site.
For the Part Inventory Upload and Service Data Upload, instead of the Dealership manually uploading it to the Honda site, Blackpurl will automatically upload the relevant data on your behalf but we need a Username and Password to be able to do this.
5. Frequency of Upload of Part Inventory and Service Data
How often the uploads are to automatically upload to the Honda API
HOW DOES IT WORK
- Part Inventory Upload
Blackpurl will automatically upload all Honda Part Records which are currently in stock to the Honda API at scheduled times.

Blackpurl will automatically upload service data information on service jobs on Honda Units that have been invoiced. The upload will be set to run at scheduled times etc.
- Submit Vendor Order
Dealerships will be able to submit a Vendor Order direct to Honda from Blackpurl for Daily orders and Stock Orders
