Example use cases
Used car listing enrichment

Fleet vehicle identification
“We just received a vehicle with VIN 1FTFW1ET0EKE91213 and I need to know the make, model, model year, drivetrain, engine, and where it was assembled for our fleet records.”
Insurance claim vehicle lookup
“I need to identify the exact trim and body class for VIN 5YJSA1DN5DFP14705 — can you decode it using NHTSA data and pull out the drivetrain and engine details too?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://fittings.sh/v1/nhtsa/vin-decode?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured vehicle data decoded from a VIN using the official NHTSA vPIC database. It is ideal for automotive research, fleet management, insurance workflows, used-car listing enrichment, or any scenario where you need machine-readable make, model, trim, engine, and drivetrain details from a VIN. Prefer this over general vehicle lookup APIs when NHTSA regulatory authority and US-market accuracy matter.
Side effects
- VIN fewer than 8 or more than 17 characters returns a validation error
- Invalid or malformed VIN characters (VINs exclude I, O, Q) may return no results or an error
- Partial VINs without a modelYear hint may return ambiguous or multiple matches
- Very old vehicles or non-US market VINs may have incomplete NHTSA records
- NHTSA vPIC upstream downtime may cause request failures
