# EU API Hostname
URL: /docs/changelogs/2026-04-30
LLM index: /llms.txt
Description: A dedicated eu-api.carsxe.com hostname and /eu routes cut latency for European customers on five endpoint families.

## Added

- EU regional access via a dedicated hostname (`eu-api.carsxe.com`) and `/eu` routes, for lower latency on: [International VIN Decoder](/docs/products/international-vin-decoder), [Plate Decoder](/docs/products/plate-decoder) (v1/v2), [Plate Recognition & VIN OCR](/docs/products/recognition), and [Vehicle Images](/docs/products/vehicle-images).

## Improved

- Faster request speed for Europe-based customers on supported `/eu` endpoints.

## Notes

- No action needed to benefit from the latency improvement — just point EU traffic at `eu-api.carsxe.com` or the `/eu` route for supported endpoints.
