Vin API – Phase II
We've just finished adding A LOT more details to VIN API's result set. This time we've added things like MPG, MSRP, cargo room/volumn, etc. See the full list below, it is very comprehensive.
If you use ruby (look for a future post with .NET and PHP examples), and want the complete dataset, you would setup your ActiveResource like this:
This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.
Learn more about bidirectional Unicode characters
| class VinApi < ActiveResource::Base | |
| headers["X-VinApiKey"] = "YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE" | |
| self.site = "http://vinapi.skizmo.com" | |
| self.element_name = "vin" | |
| end |
And then call our API like this:
This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| VinApi.find('1HGCM82633A004352', :params => {:complete => "true"}) |
The only change (for those of you who have already implemented phase I) is to send in a "complete" parameter with value of "true" ... upon doing so, VIN API will send you the complete dataset versus the basic (and default) dataset.
The results would look like this (in XML) and be prepared because it is lengthy:
