VIN DECODER FUNCTIONALITY

Question

_{Tuesday, June 29, 2010 11:17 AM}

I want to implement a VIN decoder functionality in my website, where user will input the VIN number to get Vehicle information like, YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, BODY STYLE and etc.

But I don't want to subscribe to a service.

Can someone help in this regard?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Swapnil,
Thanks for your post.
Check the following websites about VIN decoder tools. Hope it helpful.

As I know, for some formal website, through view source, you could not get the source code, you only get some Html code. You could also post your question on XML forum for better and quicker support.

It seems this info is available many places.  Here is a resonably good writeup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Identification_Number

Hi,

Please follow the link below

http://software.informer.com/getfree-vb6-source-code-vin-decoder/

the source code that has been written here is for vb6 but the service they use might well be free.

I also found this site - http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Programming/IDEs_and_Coding_Utilities/XML_VIN_Decoder.html

Hope this helps.

Cheers

How can I implement a vin decoder in a background. i.e. Suppose there is a site which decode the VIN by providing a input box and Submit button. I can make a hit to this page to get VIN decoded from this site. But it will display the result in the target site and not in my site.

Is it possible to get the "VIEW SOURCE" of out put page and display the result in my site.

May be, I think it could be done through XML, but I don't know how. Can someone provide me some help to do that?

The NHTSA website has an API you can use, with example of the code.

https : / / vpic . nhtsa . dot . gov /

It will show you examples with multiple languages for those still looking for a way in 2017.
