How this service works
Decode a 3-char WMI via NHTSA vPIC for $0.003 USDC into manufacturer and vehicle type. Call when you need this bounded result without an API key or subscription. Returns machine-readable JSON via x402 on Base or Solana. Limitation: results cover only the supplied input or one bounded public endpoint at request time; callers must verify before acting.
Output
Returns the manufacturer name (e.g. 'Ford Motor Company') and vehicle type (e.g. 'Passenger Car', 'Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle') associated with the given 3-character WMI code, sourced from the NHTSA vPIC database.
Example use cases
Enrich VIN data pipeline
“I have a batch of VINs and I need to decode the first 3 characters of each — starting with '5YJ' — to get the manufacturer name and vehicle type so I can enrich my vehicle records.”
Verify vehicle manufacturer in listing
“Someone listed a car with VIN starting with 'WBA' — can you decode that WMI to confirm which manufacturer made it and what vehicle type it is?”
Automotive fraud detection check
“I'm auditing some vehicle records and one has a suspicious WMI of 'JHM' — can you look that up and tell me the manufacturer and vehicle type it should correspond to?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/wmi-decodeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a WMI or the first 3 characters of a VIN and need to quickly resolve the manufacturer name and vehicle type without building your own NHTSA integration. It is ideal for VIN enrichment pipelines, automotive data validation, and fraud detection workflows where per-lookup micropayment pricing via x402 is acceptable.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized WMI returns no match or an error
- WMI shorter or longer than 3 characters may be rejected
- NHTSA vPIC database may not contain newly issued or obscure WMIs
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call
