Factory Build Data

Request data the vehicle was fitted with at the factory

Overview

To request an extensive factory build data list call the /build-data endpoint. If the relevant manufacturer is participating in our Options data product you will see it in the response.

For example, you could request build information VIN:WVWZZZAWZKU065305 as below.

/v2/vehicles/vins/SALWA2KE5EA312255/build-data?region=nz

The VIN decodes to a Volkswagen Polo, as VW is participating in the Build data program we are able to deliver the following build data.

{
    "success": true,
    "vehicle": {
        "vin": "WVWZZZAWZKU065305",
        "build_date": "2019-03-19",
        "make": "VOLKSWAGEN",
        "model": "POLO",
        "features": [

                "value": "Rear overhang, short"
            },
            {
                "code": "0A2",
                "value": "4 doors"
            },
            {

            },

                "value": "Wheelbase"
            },

                "value": "Dual-clutch transmission DSG DQ200"
            },

            }

        ]
