How this service works
Decodes a Vehicle Identification Number through the official US regulator's vPIC database (public domain): make, model, year, body class, engine, transmission, GVWR and assembly plant. Query: ?vin=1HGCM82633A004352 (partial VINs with '*' accepted, optional &model_year=2003). error_code/error_text carry vPIC's structural verdict. Static reference data, 24h cache.
Output
Returns structured vehicle attributes decoded from the VIN: make, model, model year, body class, engine details, transmission type, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and assembly plant. Also includes vPIC error_code and error_text indicating whether the VIN was structurally valid. Data is sourced from the official NHTSA vPIC database and cached for 24 hours.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you decode this VIN for me — 1HGCM82633A004352 — and tell me the make, model, year, engine type, and where it was assembled?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-datashop-production.up.railway.app/v1/vehicle/vinWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured vehicle data decoded from a VIN using the official US NHTSA vPIC database. It supports partial VINs with wildcard '*' characters, an optional model year hint for improved accuracy, and is well-suited for automotive data enrichment, insurance workflows, vehicle history lookups, or any scenario requiring regulatory-grade VIN decoding. Prefer over third-party VIN decoders when accuracy and official sourcing matter.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed VIN returns non-zero error_code with descriptive error_text from vPIC
- VIN shorter than 17 chars without wildcard may return partial or ambiguous results
- Unknown or non-US vehicle VINs may return empty fields for some attributes
- Network or upstream vPIC API unavailability causes request failure
- Missing required 'vin' query parameter returns a 4xx error
