The mystery of the Dealership Website VDP URL by VIN

[Dealercrm]

Does anyone know of a redirect URL structure, for the below providers, that if you know the VIN, you can use that to get to the VDP page directly.

As an example:

Dealer.com uses

https://www.DEALERDOMAIN.com/catcher.esl?vin=1N4AA6FV7MC501095

That then redirects to the full VDP URL


Any idea of the VDP URL that will accept a VIN for these providers?

1. Dealer eProcess
2. DealerFire / DealerSocket
3. Sokal

In situations like this, I've had to scrape the VDP URLs in the past.
Most of them let you search inventory with ?q=VIN and then you have to look for the element you want and copy the URL for it.

It's very annoying and I wish more vendors had a solution, but I haven't seen many.

Thanks Craig for your response. Was trying to avoid this method, if at all possible.
