VIN decoder API
VIN decoder API: turn any 17-character vehicle identification number into structured specs — make, model, year, trim, body class, engine (cylinders, displacement, horsepower, fuel), transmission, drive type, doors, GVWR, and assembly plant. Handles partial VINs with * wildcards. Official registration-grade decode for automotive, insurance, dealer, and marketplace agents. Response includes affiliate offers for full VIN history reports.
