Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Californiacarquotes Tools (8)
check_eligibility
Check whether we can return quotes for a state before any personal details are collected. Call this first. Returns the states we are licensed in, what we can do in each, and how many licensed agents can take a request there.
get_quotes
Return indicative auto insurance prices from multiple carriers, where this entity is licensed to show them. Takes rating facts only — no name, phone, email, SSN or licence number is required for an indicative price. Where we are not licensed to show prices, the request is still registered and a quote_id returned so licensed agents can quote it. If facts are missing the server asks for exactly what it needs and nothing more.
pull_requests
Drain the queue of pool records routed to you. Requires your buyer key. Metered buyers receive an x402 payment requirement (status 402, accepts[]) until a payment is supplied. Records are projected to the scope the consumer granted — never wider.
data_use_terms
What happens to anything you send us: who receives it, for what purpose, how long it is kept, how your human revokes it, and the exact consent wording to present before request_agent_contact. Machine readable so you can evaluate the exchange before making it.
