Turn a seventeen character vehicle identification code into structured vehicle data in one call: make, model, model year, manufacturer, vehicle type, body class, plant country, engine cylinders, fuel type, series, trim and doors.
Useful for auto marketplaces and classified listings, insurance quoting and claims intake, fleet onboarding, dealership systems and inspection apps.
The endpoint returns structured vehicle data, including make, model, model year, manufacturer, vehicle type, body class, plant country, engine cylinders, fuel type, series, trim, and doors, along with a validity verdict for the provided VIN.
Key fields in the response include "make," "model," "model_year," "manufacturer," "vehicle_type," "body_class," "plant_country," "engine_cylinders," "fuel_type," "series," "trim," and "doors." Each field provides specific details about the vehicle.
The response data is organized in a JSON format. It includes a "valid" boolean indicating the VIN's validity, the original VIN, a "decoded" object with detailed vehicle information, an "error_text" for any issues, and the data source.
The endpoint provides comprehensive vehicle information such as the vehicle's make, model, year, manufacturer, body class, engine specifications, and fuel type, all derived from a public government vehicle database.
The data is sourced from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Product Information Catalog (vPIC), which is a public domain database, ensuring reliable and accurate vehicle information.
Data accuracy is maintained through validation checks on the VIN format, ensuring it meets the seventeen-character requirement and contains no forbidden letters. Additionally, the data is sourced from a reputable government database.
Typical use cases include auto marketplaces, insurance quoting, fleet onboarding, dealership systems, and vehicle inspection apps, where accurate vehicle identification is crucial for operations.
If the API returns empty values for certain fields, it indicates that the source does not have that information. Users should account for these cases in their applications, ensuring they handle missing data gracefully.
