For automotive software, any stage

One key for every vehicle lookup your product makes

VIN and plate decoding, specs, images, market value, history and recalls from one API, so the data behind your product is one vendor instead of five.

  • Consolidate three to five vendors into one
  • Clean JSON, real SDKs and test VINs
  • Sandbox to production, no sales call

Plate and VIN lookups

Use cases

What gets built on this

Marketplaces, insurtech and vertical automotive software start from the same call.

Marketplaces

Plate-to-VIN collapses a five-field seller form down to one field.

Vertical automotive SaaS

Repair, dealer and rental platforms embed lookups their customers run daily.

Risk and pricing models

Lending and insurance teams feed decoded fields into models they already run.

Capabilities

One key, the whole catalog

Identification, attributes, imagery, valuation and history, with no contract per endpoint.

Identification

A VIN, a plate, or a photo of either, decoded into a vehicle record.

Attributes and specs

Trim, body style, drivetrain, seating, dimensions and MSRP at launch.

Values and history

Condition-tiered values, title records and brand records, all keyed by VIN.

Ways to connect

REST and JSON, official SDKs, an MCP server, Snowflake, n8n and Zapier.

Enterprise

From prototype to production

The call you make on a sandbox key is the call you make at a million a month.

No rewrite at scale

Nothing about the request changes between the sandbox and production.

Key benefit

The code you wrote in week one is the code that ships.

Pay for what returns

Calls that find nothing are not billed, which matters most on messy input.

Key benefit

A bad VIN in your test set does not cost anything.

Room to add endpoints

New products appear under the same key rather than under a new agreement.

Key benefit

Adding a feature does not mean adding a vendor.

Implementation

How it works

Four steps to a working platform integration, with or without engineers.

  1. 1

    Get a sandbox key

    Sign up with a work email. 100 calls, no credit card, no sales call.

  2. 2

    Pick how you connect

    REST and JSON, official SDKs, MCP, Snowflake, n8n or Zapier. See integrations.

  3. 3

    Call the endpoints you need

    For most platforms, that is Specifications, Plate Decoder and Market Value.

  4. 4

    Map the fields once

    Field names are stable and documented, so your own schema maps them once.

Security and compliance

Enterprise-grade security

Vehicle data is handled to the standards your compliance team expects.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Not answered here? Contact us and we'll point you at the right endpoint.

No. Sign up with a work email and the sandbox gives you 100 calls, no credit card and no call. Most teams have a VIN decoded within the hour. Sales comes in when you need volume pricing, an Enterprise endpoint such as Ownership, or a contract your procurement team can sign.
