CarsXE

Retrieve reportable US lien and theft events for a VIN. A no-data response means CarsXE has no reportable record and is not proof that the vehicle is clear.

Look up vehicle identity from a license plate using CarsXE's current global v2 decoder.

Translate an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code into a readable diagnosis.

Make exactly one read request for a CarsXE recall batch. The default status view returns current progress. The results view is available only when the batch is completed or partial and returns a bounded local page (100 rows by default, at most 1,000) from CarsXE's complete array; use result_offset to continue. CarsXE returns 409 while results are not ready. This tool makes one provider request and never polls internally.

Retrieve title, brand, junk/salvage, insurance, VIN-change, and historical title records for a VIN.

Find up to 10 vehicle photos by make and model, with optional year, trim, angle, image type, size, color, quality, transparency, and license filters.

Estimate wholesale, retail, and trade-in values for a VIN using CarsXE's current v2 valuation, optionally adjusted for state, mileage, and condition.

Find safety recall campaigns either for one VIN or for a year, make, and model. Supply exactly one lookup method.

Decode a 17-character VIN into vehicle identity, specifications, equipment, colors, and warranty data. International decoding is used automatically when CarsXE needs it unless explicitly disabled.

Look up detailed vehicle and trim information by year, make, and model without a VIN. Returns bounded trim summaries rather than large feature and color payloads.

Create one asynchronous CarsXE recall-check batch for 1 to 10,000 VIN entries. Submission charges one Recalls Batch unit per unique valid VIN after CarsXE normalizes and deduplicates the list. The action makes one submission request and does not poll or resubmit an ambiguous failure; use the returned batch ID to check progress or retrieve results later.
