Case Study: Cars.com achieves secure, scalable API management with Google Cloud Platform

Cars.com Speeding up the automotive marketplace with APIs

Cars.com, a leading digital automotive marketplace, needed a secure and scalable way to share car listings, pricing, lead data, and other information across partners, mobile apps, and internal systems. Using Google Cloud Platform’s Apigee API management platform, the company aimed to improve how it exposed APIs, monitored traffic, and supported data-driven decision making.

Google Cloud Platform implemented Apigee to help Cars.com manage more than 100 APIs, add security controls like throttling and rate limiting, and give business users self-service reporting. The result was faster API deployment, better visibility into API calls, and support for about 40 million requests per day, helping Cars.com grow its marketplace and improve lead generation.
