Decode a VIN into make, model, model year and vehicle attributes using NHTSA vPIC

Decode a VIN into make, model, model year and vehicle attributes using NHTSA vPIC. Use when an agent has a VIN and needs structured vehicle information. Call GET ?vin= or POST JSON {"vin"}; full or partial VINs, decode errors preserved. No owner lookup.

Use with an agent

Discover. Agents find this listing with GET https://bazaar.saylorinnovations.com/discovery/search?query=…, the MCP tool search_resources, or /discovery/resources.
Inspect. Fetch /resources/29454.json for the price and payment options.
Pay. Call GET https://foundry-par007-machine-revenue-mainnet.inference-chip-index.workers.dev/v2/official/nhtsa-vin-decode. The provider answers 402 with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
Execute. The provider returns 200 with the data. Agent Bazaar is not in the request path and never sees your payment.

For humans

You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
