How this service works
Pay-per-call data endpoints for AI agents. USDC on Base via x402. No account, no API key — one micropayment per call.
Output
A JSON object containing the decoded vehicle object (make, model, year) and an array of recall entries, each with a campaign identifier and affected component description. Returns an empty recalls array if no active recalls are found.
Example use cases
Used car recall safety check
“I'm thinking of buying a used Honda Accord with VIN 1HGCM82633A004352 — can you check if it has any outstanding safety recalls before I commit?”
Fleet vehicle compliance audit
“Run a recall check on VIN 2T1BURHE0JC037469 for me — I need to know the make, model, year, and any open recall campaigns so I can flag it for service.”
Insurance intake VIN decode
“Can you decode VIN 5YJSA1DG9DFP14705 and return the vehicle's make, model, year, and any active NHTSA recall campaigns associated with it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.polyform.org/v1/vehicle/vin/%7Bvin%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a no-signup, pay-per-call VIN decode with integrated recall data in a single response. Ideal for AI agents that need occasional VIN lookups without managing API keys or subscriptions — the $0.005 USDC micropayment model suits low-to-moderate volume lookups. Prefer this over NHTSA's free public API when you need a single unified response combining decoded vehicle attributes and recall campaigns, or when operating in an x402-compatible payment environment.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed VIN returns an error response
- VIN not found in database returns empty or null vehicle data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error) blocks the request
- Network timeout if upstream vehicle database is unavailable
