`GET /v1/codes/{code}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://open.wenmarpro.com`
- URL: `https://open.wenmarpro.com/v1/codes/{code}`
- Auth: none declared

Only codes every maker uses the same way are described: `P0`, `P2`,
`P3400` and up, `B0`, `C0`, `U0` and `U3`. The text is general and is
not about one make.
