Organizations across the automotive industry, from dealer solutions platforms and auto insurance providers, to fleet and mobility solutions and vehicle service and maintenance businesses, entrust DataOne’s VIN decoder API to deliver specific one-to-one style matches with exceptional depth and breadth of vehicle detail. The VIN data provided by our decoding API is used to drive critical insights, improve vehicle sales and marketing, and power business efficiencies .
The VIN Decoder API is a REST-based HTTPS interface, supporting enterprise-level needs, with lightning-fast return of data and handling billions of VIN decodes per year. Our precise and detailed vehicle data provides you with vehicle descriptors, installed equipment, optional equipment (known installed and available), technical specifications, factory warranties, original vehicle & option pricing, OEM interior and exterior colors as well as stock vehicle images.
Comprehensive vehicle detail incorporated into the VIN pattern is returned with the standard VIN Decoder API. However, premium decoding options, utilizing the entire 17-digit VIN data, greatly enhances the data return by identifying everything down to the trim, color, and all optionally installed equipment and features of the vehicle.
DataOne’s enhanced 17-digit decoding through the API can be configured to return vehicle information at both the trim and option levels, in order to best scale with your organization’s needs. Trim-level VIN decoding provides the vehicle's assigned trim, along with the equipment that comes standard with that trim's configuration. This information includes vehicle weights and dimensions, exterior and interior color, factory-standard equipment and safety features, installed transmission, as well as the base MSRP. Option-level VIN decoding goes a step further, adding on the specific installed options and packages unique to that vehicle, as well as the vehicle's as-built MSRP.
DataOne offers two choices for decoding the vehicle details from the 17-digit VIN: OEM Build Data, and DataOne’s independently sourced Verified Records. Both can return all facets of the vehicle, including installed options, packages, features, colors, and MSRP providing a source of truth when this level of specificity is business-critical.
DataOne’s Verified Records are curated from DataOne’s direct experience managing and analyzing historical vehicle data, as well as independent third party research. Verified records have been vetted to have industry-leading accuracy in identifying vehicle features and options packages through our 17-digit VIN decoding. DataOne’s Verified Records can be leveraged for any use case desired by customers.
OEM Build Data is provided for licensing in partnership the vehicle's manufacturer. In addition to the data provided by our OEM partners, DataOne customers benefit from our proprietary data normalization that translates OEM-specific marketing terminology into standardized definitions, enabling organizations to take a single approach while working with vehicles across brands.
