Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/decodificar-vin-pago?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need comprehensive, authoritative vehicle specification data from a single VIN lookup backed by official NHTSA vPIC data. It covers make, model, year, powertrain, body, safety equipment, and assembly plant in one call. Particularly strong for North American vehicles. Prefer this over generic VIN APIs when you need electrification type (BEV/HEV), safety equipment details, or official government-sourced data. At $0.003 per call it is cost-effective for single lookups and batch verification workflows.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed VIN (not 17 characters) — returns valido: false with a warning message
- Check digit mismatch — returns decoded data but flags valido: false with a digit warning
- VIN not found in NHTSA database — may return partial or null fields
- Non-North American vehicles may have incomplete data due to NHTSA coverage limitations
- Network timeout or payment failure via x402 protocol
