How this service works
No-key evaluation APIs for public data and utilities: business filings, permits, bankruptcy dockets, NPI providers, HTTP status checks, sitemap URL extraction, SEC EDGAR, IRS 990, WHOIS, and validation. Paid x402 access is live.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of matching complaints and an array of complaint records, each containing the vehicle make, model, model year, ODI complaint number, and evidence type (e.g. consumer_submitted_complaint), plus a setupStatus field indicating whether results were found.
Example use cases
Used car safety research before purchase
“I'm thinking about buying a 2018 Honda Accord — can you check if there are any NHTSA consumer complaints filed against it, especially around the transmission or engine?”
Airbag recall risk assessment
“Look up NHTSA vehicle complaints for the 2019 Ford F-150 that involve AIR BAGS — I want to know if there are any safety issues reported before I let my teenager drive it.”
Automotive journalism complaint analysis
“Pull the latest NHTSA consumer complaints for Tesla Model 3 from 2021 and show me up to 10 results so I can see what drivers are reporting most.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://autoscrape-api-seven.vercel.app/x402/v1/nhtsa-vehicle-complaintsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to query NHTSA's official consumer complaint database for a specific vehicle, especially when researching used car safety history, investigating recall-related issues, or enriching automotive data pipelines. Prefer this over general web search when structured, machine-readable complaint records with ODI numbers are needed. Best suited for point lookups on a specific make/model/year rather than bulk analysis.
Side effects
- No complaints found for the specified make/model/year combination returns empty results array
- Invalid or misspelled vehicle make/model may return zero results without an explicit error
- maxResults is capped at 10 regardless of the value provided
- Missing all query parameters defaults to Toyota results only
- Network or upstream NHTSA API outage may cause timeout or 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
