Vehicle Specifications (VIN decoder)

Decode a 17-character VIN and return detailed vehicle specifications, including attributes, colors, equipment and warranties. If the VIN cannot be decoded, an International VIN decoding check is run as a fallback unless disableIntVINDecoding=1 is set.

Credit plans: 2 credits per successful billable lookup. Failed lookups and no-data errors do not use credits. See https://carsxe.com/pricing.md for billing units.
