- •Call the CarsXE International VIN Decoder API:
code
GET https://api.carsxe.com/v1/international-vin-decoder?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&vin={VIN} - •Present the decoded data: country of manufacture, make, model, year, engine, transmission, body style.
- •Note this endpoint is optimized for international VINs outside the US market.
- •If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the
CARSXE_API_KEYenvironment variable.
