VIN Decode API - Get vehicle year, make, model, trims, colors & options data

We were fed up with the poor quality, inaccuracies in the data, and extremely expensive pricing of the current VIN decode APIs on the market, so we decided to create a better option. With a generous free tier, we enable makers to build powerful automotive experiences for a fraction of the cost. I'd love to hear what kind of websites or apps you'd like to build with this API, and what other automotive-related APIs you'd like to see!

Hi Michael! Really nice product. Is it just for VINs for US-based vehicles or also for vehicles in Europe (including Switzerland)?

Great product! Is it possible to add the latest damages by accidents? Like Carfax data.

I love API's like this! Might just build an app using it...

Hi Michael! Does this API provide any data on the current registration of the vehicle? Like the owner? Thanks!

Hi Michael. This is great, something that has been lacking in the automotive dev space for a long time - at least unless you wanted to pay a lot of money for a below average product ! :)_

Wow!,I was looking for something similar, got it!

Great!!!

Very useful, great idea!

Great tool! It could be great if you could add some CarFax data as a feature. Congrats on the launch and good luck!

I'd like to chat! Can you shoot me an email? sahas@smartcar.com

Well made, definitely looking forward to see what comes next :)

Wanting to give this one a shot but getting stuck because of my 13 digit serial number. Anyone know of a working converter?

Why does the app need full access to GitHub to sign in? "This application will be able to read and write all user data."

Does the "year" key in the results of GET /api/vin/{vin{ denote the year the provided VIN corresponds to or every year said car has been available? Is there any mapping from Vin to license plate history? e.g. is the list of plates that correspond to the VIN "ZPBUA1ZL9KLA00848" available along with active dates of said plate? Good work so far!

Thanks for this valuable product! I hope to increase interest in my clients' sites by using this API. Frontend Developer

Astonishing!!

Liked it!

Great!!!

Unfortunatly, it seems broken at the moment : { "message": "Cannot read property 'split' of null", "stack": "TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of null\n at worker.js:24:17842\n at o (worker.js:13:4761)\n at worker.js:24:17749\n at o (worker.js:13:4761)\n at worker.js:24:17601\n at o (worker.js:13:4761)\n at worker.js:24:17489\n at o (worker.js:13:4761)\n at worker.js:24:17064\n at o (worker.js:13:4761)" } But I'm really impatient to use and buy this product if it's working well !
