# VIN Search The Vehicle VIN API allows you to search for vehicles by VIN. The request requires only a region, VIN, and API key. It will either return a matching vehicle with possible option packs or a null. {% openapi src="/files/bupYK34BudsRm0rodLbg" path="/v2/vehicles/vins/{vin}" method="get" %} [api.yaml](https://2006860467-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5qLYvzu45gdlTAGQCN9d%2Fuploads%2FQNJ2oRfASYWNsu7VjJHE%2Fapi.yaml?alt=media\&token=58a3820d-1bba-4403-8808-4c1bbeab3f41) {% endopenapi %} ### **Example Response** ```json { "success": true, "vehicle": { "id": "1122175340772663", "region": "uk", "title": "2019 Jeep Renegade Limited MY19 1.6 120hp E6d MT FWD LIMITED", "year": "2019", "make": "Jeep", "model": "Renegade", "badge": "Limited", "series": null, "model_year": "MY19", "release_month": null, "release_year": 2019, "body_type": "SUV", "body_config": null, "transmission": "Manual", "transmission_type": "Manual", "wheelbase": null, "wheelbase_type": null, "fuel": "Diesel", "fuel_type": "Diesel", "engine": "Piston", "engine_type": "Piston", "drive": "FWD", "drive_type": "Front Wheel Drive", "num_doors": 5, "num_seats": 5, "num_gears": 6, "num_cylinders": 4, "capacity_cc": 1598, "power_kw": 88, "torque_nm": null, "range": null, "options": [] }, "upstream_vehicle": "2019 Jeep Renegade Limited Edition MultiJet II BU Diesel 5 dr 5 seat 4 cyl 6 speed SUV Manual 1598cc 88.4kw", "confidence": "standard", "additional_vehicles": [] } ``` ## Features You can request more data than the standard payload by leveraging the features described below. {% hint style="info" %} Ensure your commercial agreement has these features enabled if you require them. {% endhint %} ### **Extended Data** This feature will return structured descriptive data from the registration authority.
