VIN Decoder API — VIN Number Lookup

What is a VIN Number?

A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle at the factory. It encodes:

• WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) — first 3 characters: manufacturer and country
• VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section) — next 6 characters: model, engine, body type
• VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section) — last 8 characters: unique serial number
