Architecture and Concepts

VINquery.com APIs enable client applications to access a suite of VIN decoding, machine learning, and object recognition algorithms through representational state transfer (REST). A key feature of the REST architecture is the stateless communication between client and server. The client initiates requests, the server processes them, returns responses, and each transaction is completed independently. This documentation provides a technical description of the real-time APIs offered by VINquery.com.

To maintain reliability and stability in our demo and production environments, VINquery.com enforces API call efficiency guidelines. We continually monitor API usage to ensure effective load balancing and will reach out to developers if their usage places an unnecessary burden on the system. Applications are restricted from polling for service status more than once every 15 minutes.
