• DecodeVinExtended

Parameters ​

Returns ​

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

=> Promise<NhtsaResponse<GetVehicleTypesForMakeIdResults>>

type NhtsaResponse<GetVehicleTypesForMakeIdResults> = {
  Count: number
  Message: string
  Results: Array<GetVehicleTypesForMakeIdResults>
  SearchCriteria: string
}

// Using GetVehicleTypesForMakeId(449)
const exampleResponse = {
  Count: 5,

  Results: [
    {
      VehicleTypeId: 2,
      VehicleTypeName: 'Passenger Car',
    },
    {
      VehicleTypeId: 3,
      VehicleTypeName: 'Truck ',
    },
    {
