How this service works
Look up any VIN and get the vehicle behind it: year, make, model, trim, body class, engine and transmission specs, fuel type, and where it was built. Registration-grade decode returned as structured JSON with an explicit decode-status field. Zero-hallucination source data for automotive agents.
Output
A structured JSON object containing the decoded vehicle's year, make, model, trim level, body class, engine specification, transmission type, fuel type, country and plant of assembly, and an explicit decode-status field indicating whether the decode was full, partial, or failed.
Example use cases
Pre-purchase vehicle verification
“I'm thinking of buying a used car and the seller gave me VIN 2T1BURHE0JC051234 — can you decode it and tell me the exact year, make, model, trim, body style, engine, and fuel type?”
Fleet inventory enrichment
“I need to enrich our fleet records — can you decode VIN 1FTFW1ET5DFA12345 and return the structured vehicle specs including transmission and assembly location?”
Partial VIN decode with year hint
“I only have a partial VIN — 1HGCM826* — and I know the model year is 2003. Can you decode it and give me everything you can find about the vehicle?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/vin-lookupWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured, zero-hallucination vehicle data from a VIN — especially in automotive agent workflows, pre-purchase verification, fleet management, or insurance applications. It supports both full 17-character VINs and partial VINs with wildcard characters, making it flexible for incomplete data scenarios. Prefer it over LLM-generated vehicle guesses whenever accuracy and structured JSON output with an explicit decode-status field are required.
Side effects
- VIN shorter than 6 characters returns a validation error
- Invalid or unrecognized VIN returns a failed decode-status with no vehicle data
- Partial VIN without model_year hint may return ambiguous or incomplete results
- Malformed wildcard patterns may cause decode to fail or return unexpected matches
- Network or upstream NHTSA service unavailability returns a 5xx error
