> Vehicle Intelligence for AI agents. Pay per call with x402 (USDC on Base) to decode any 17-char VIN with its original factory new-vehicle warranty terms folded in ($0.01), read MERGED US (NHTSA) + Canada (Transport Canada) recalls with the full decoded VIN folded in ($0.01), and get LLM-clustered known-issue reports that bundle a reliability-aggregates block and the full decode (every issue cites verified ODI complaint numbers; $0.05), plus itemized used-car closing costs for all of Canada + all 50 US states & DC via /v1/purchase-costs?country=CA|US ($0.02). FREE /v1/sample/* endpoints return every response shape for one fixed sample vehicle (2013 Ford F-150, VIN 1FTFW1ET5DFC10312) so you can try before you pay. Every JSON object response carries a legal `disclaimer` field. Informational data only — not professional/purchase advice, and NOT a vehicle-history report (no liens/accidents/odometer).
