What it does. Decodes 17-character VINs into vehicle specs from NHTSA's official vPIC database. VINs are sent in batches of 50, up to 50,000 per run. Each row shows whether NHTSA decoded the VIN cleanly, and includes NHTSA's own decode codes and message.
Input (from .actor/input_schema.json)
vins(required): list of 17-character VINs. Malformed VINs (not 17 characters, or containing I, O or Q) get a free row.
Output fields
type, vin, make, model, modelYear, trim, manufacturer, vehicleType, bodyClass, driveType, fuelType, engineCylinders, displacementL, engineHP, doors, plantCity, plantCountry, gvwr, decodeClean, nhtsaErrorCodes, nhtsaMessage, specs (all non-empty vPIC fields)
Free status rows (not charged): invalid-vin, not-decoded, invalid-input, api-error, free-plan-limit, charge-limit-reached.

Data source and compliance
- Data comes only from the U.S. NHTSA vPIC API (public, free, no key).
- A VIN identifies a vehicle, not a person. The tool returns no owner, registration, title or history data and is not a vehicle history report.
- Specs are what manufacturers reported to NHTSA, and some fields may be blank.
- Free-plan accounts get up to 100 results per run.
Pricing. Pay per result: $0.10 per 1,000 decoded VINs, flat on every plan, no start fee. Free status rows are never charged.
