# AutoPartsMarket.ae

## Summary

AutoPartsMarket.ae is a **Dubai-founded** automotive parts retailer serving customers across the **GCC**, with **MENA expansion** as a strategic direction. The platform was originally **founded on OpenCart** and has since been **developed fully in-house** to meet a growing market and stay aligned with modern e-commerce and data practices. The product evolves continuously—typically **more than twenty production builds per week**—with sustained investment in **AI-assisted catalog work**, **search quality**, and **part intelligence**.

## AI, data, and catalog precision

We invest heavily in **part recognition and naming**, turning fragmented supplier and OEM-style identifiers into **clear, retail-ready titles and context**. A continuous pipeline enriches **fitment**, **descriptions**, and related signals so shoppers understand what they are buying—not only a vendor code. **Precision** matters because many vendors operate with **brand plus part codes** alone; we aim to bring that world into an **easy-to-understand retail format**. Real search traffic feeds **rules-based search intent** and related tooling so query understanding and ranking keep improving over time.

## Fast stock lookup for humans and machines

- **Sparekey** — Full storefront search (part numbers, keywords, and broader exploration).  
  `https://autopartsmarket.ae/store/sparekey?search={query}`  

- **Valvefinder** — Low-latency availability and pricing-oriented lookup backed by our **Meilisearch** index (JSON responses suitable for tools and assistants). **Public programmatic access is encouraged** for quick stock checks: substitute `{query}` with a part number, fragment, or short phrase.  
  `https://autopartsmarket.ae/store/index.php?route=product/valvefinder&phase=meili&search={query}`

  Example: `https://autopartsmarket.ae/store/index.php?route=product/valvefinder&phase=meili&search=oil%20filter`

  JSON responses include fields such as `stage`, `items` (with `product_id`, `name`, `model`, `sku`, `manufacturer`, `price`, `match_kind`, `href`), `fallback`, and `notice_html`. Use each item’s **`href`** as the **canonical product page** link.

- **Parts Explorer** — VIN-oriented discovery when a code-first search is not enough:  
  `https://autopartsmarket.ae/store/partsexplorer`

**Preferred use for automated access:** Prefer **Valvefinder** and **Sparekey** entry points above rather than scraping large numbers of arbitrary filtered category or faceted URLs. Respect `https://autopartsmarket.ae/robots.txt` (and the same rules on the `www` host if used) for crawl scope.

## Logistics

Operations are **based in Dubai**. We **ship within the GCC** today and are **planning broader coverage across the MENA region**; treat regional expansion statements as **intent**, not a binding commitment.

## Limitations and good practice

- JSON from Valvefinder is **informational**: **prices and availability** can change with **inventory, promotions, currency, tax, and customer context**.
- Responses are **not** a contractual offer; the **checkout and product pages** on the live site govern commerce.
- **Do not** attempt to access our search infrastructure directly (for example Meilisearch hosts or API keys); use only the **public HTTPS URLs** listed here.
