How this service works
817 pay-per-call APIs for AI agents. Every endpoint is POST /<name> and is payable in USDC over x402 on Base and Solana — no signup, no API key, just pay-per-call. GET https://x402.agentutility.ai/ returns the same catalog as machine-readable JSON.
Output
Returns a JSON object with decoded vehicle attributes including make, model, model year, body class, vehicle type, manufacturer, plant country, primary fuel type, electrification level (e.g. BEV), checksum validity, data source attribution, and any decode errors encountered.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you decode the VIN 5YJ3E1EA0KF310000 and tell me the make, model, year, body type, and whether it's electric?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.agentutility.ai/vin-decode?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to decode a VIN into structured vehicle metadata quickly and cheaply ($0.005 USDC per call). Ideal for automotive research, insurance, fleet management, used-car verification, or any agent workflow that needs to enrich a VIN with NHTSA-sourced vehicle specs without building a direct NHTSA integration. Prefer over raw NHTSA API calls when operating in an x402/USDC payment context or when MCP-callable endpoints are required.
Side effects
- Invalid VIN format returns decode_ok=false with errors array populated
- Non-US or unrecognized VINs may return partial data or empty fields
- Malformed request body returns HTTP 400
- Payment not provided or insufficient returns HTTP 402
- NHTSA upstream outage may cause delayed or failed response
