Previously I showed you how to use the NHTSA API to get vehicle information by querying make and models.

This time we will explore how to use a VIN to get the vehicle information.

Define VIN API

Click on the API Calls tab to the left. Create a new GET request named Get Vin Info.

For the API URL use

https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/vehicles/DecodeVinExtended/[vin]?format=json

Add the following header

Content-Type: application/json

Notice vin in square brackets. We need to define a variable for this path parameter.

Click the Variables tab and add a String variable named vin.
