DecodeVinExtended


typescript
async function DecodeVinExtended (
  vin: string,
  params?:
    | {
        modelYear?: string | number
      }
    | boolean,
  doFetch?: boolean
) => Promise<NhtsaResponse<DecodeVinExtendedResults> | string>

See: Package Reference

Description

DecodeVinExtended decodes a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and returns useful information about the vehicle.

This endpoint is similar to DecodeVin but returns additional information on variables related to other NHTSA programs like the NCSA.

Providing params.modelYear allows for the decoding to specifically be done in the current, or older (pre-1980), model year ranges. It is recommended to always provide params.modelYear if the model year is known at the time of decoding, but it is not required.

This endpoint also supports partial VIN decoding (VINs that are less than 17 characters).

  • Ex: 5UXWX7C5*BA
  • In this case, the VIN will be decoded partially with the available characters
  • In case of partial VINs, a * could be used to indicate the unavailable characters
  • The 9th digit is not necessary

Parameters

NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
vinstringundefinedVehicle Identification Number (full or partial)
params?Object | boolean undefinedObject of query search names and values to append to the URL as a query string.
params.modelYear?string | numberundefinedOptional Model Year search parameter
doFetchbooleantrueWhether to fetch the data or just return the URL (default: true)

📝 NOTE

Any params that are not listed in the table above will be ignored.

As params is optional, it also has type | boolean, so you can set doFetch without having to pass undefined in place of intentionally undefined params.

Returns

Returns a Promise that resolves to a NhtsaResponse object containing an array of DecodeVinExtendedResults objects in the Results key.

Ƭ DecodeVinExtendedResults: Object

Objects returned in the Results array of DecodeVinExtended endpoint response.

In the return object, Results will be an array with multiple objects containing 'key:value' results. Each object will contain:

  • "Variable" (variable name) and "Value" (variable value)
  • "VariableID" and "ValueID" (unique ID associated with the variable/value)
  • In case of text variables, the "ValueID" is not applicable

Examples

Examples 1-3:

  • Fetches data from VPIC API

  • Returns:

typescript
=> Promise<NhtsaResponse<DecodeVinExtendedResults>>

Example 1: Decode VIN

ts
import { DecodeVinExtended } from '@shaggytools/nhtsa-api-wrapper'

const response = await DecodeVinExtended('WA1A4AFY2J2008189')

Example 2: Decode VIN with optional Model Year

ts
import { DecodeVinExtended } from '@shaggytools/nhtsa-api-wrapper'

const response = await DecodeVinExtended('WA1A4AFY2J2008189', {
  modelYear: 2018,
})

Example 3: Decode Partial VIN

ts
import { DecodeVinExtended } from '@shaggytools/nhtsa-api-wrapper'

const response = await DecodeVinExtended('5UXWX7C5*BA')

Examples 4-5:

typescript
=> Promise<string>

Example 4: Decode VIN and doFetch = false

ts
import { DecodeVinExtended } from '@shaggytools/nhtsa-api-wrapper'

const url = await DecodeVinExtended('WA1A4AFY2J2008189', false)

// url = 'https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/vehicles/DecodeVinExtended/WA1A4AFY2J2008189?format=json'

Example 5: Decode VIN with optional Model Year and doFetch = false

ts
import { DecodeVinExtended } from '@shaggytools/nhtsa-api-wrapper'

const url = await DecodeVinExtended(
  'WA1A4AFY2J2008189',
  { modelYear: 2018 },
  false
)

// url = 'https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/vehicles/DecodeVinExtended/WA1A4AFY2J2008189?modelYear=2018&format=json'
