How this service works
VIN decoder. 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.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the decoded VIN fields: make, manufacturer, model, model year, trim, body class, vehicle type, engine cylinders, horsepower, displacement in liters, transmission type, plant country, check digit validity, a decoder note, and the original VIN echoed back. Best coverage for North American vehicles.
Example use cases
Auto listing data enrichment
“I'm building a used car listing — can you decode VIN 2T1BURHE0JC059591 and give me the full vehicle details including make, model, year, body class, engine, and trim?”
Insurance record verification
“I need to verify this vehicle for an insurance policy — please decode VIN 3VWFE21C04M000001 and confirm the make, model year, vehicle type, and whether the VIN check digit is valid.”
Fleet vehicle identification
“We just acquired a vehicle for our fleet and only have the VIN: 1FTFW1ET5DFC10312. Can you decode it and give me the engine specs, drivetrain, transmission, and assembly plant country?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/vin?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need comprehensive vehicle specification data from a VIN for North American vehicles, particularly when you need official NHTSA data including check-digit validation, engine specs, and assembly plant info. Prefer this over raw DMV or third-party VIN services when reliability and cost predictability matter — malformed VINs are never charged, and the NHTSA vPIC source is authoritative for US-market vehicles.
Side effects
- 400 error returned for malformed VINs (wrong length, invalid characters such as I, O, Q, or bad format) — no charge on 400 responses
- Partial or missing fields for non-North American vehicles where NHTSA vPIC has limited data
- Ambiguous decoding for older or pre-standardized VINs without the optional year hint
- Empty or null fields when NHTSA database lacks specific attributes for that vehicle
