FAQ

Questions DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key for the DOT capabilities?

    Most NHTSA and vPIC APIs are public and do not require a key. However, providing a Data.gov API Key can provide higher rate limits and access to more comprehensive transportation datasets.

  • 02

    What is a VIN?

    A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-digit code used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles. Decoding it reveals technical specs like the engine type and country of manufacture.

  • 03

    Can I check for safety recalls using this server?

    Yes! Use the get_safety_recalls capability with the vehicle's make, model, and year. Your agent will retrieve the official list of recalls issued by NHTSA for that specific configuration.
