VIN decoder: make, model, year, engine and plant from a VIN

$0.01 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or API key needed

Decode a 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN) with the US NHTSA vPIC database: make, manufacturer, model, model year, trim, body class, vehicle type, doors, drive, fuel and electrification, engine cylinders, displacement and horsepower, transmission, weight class and assembly plant, plus the check-digit test. Best for North American vehicles. Use for listings, insurance and fleet records. A malformed VIN is a 400, uncharged.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/vin?vin=1HGCM82633A004352"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/vin?vin=1HGCM82633A004352&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.
