Most customers don't know their trim level, but they can find their VIN in seconds. Here's how tire shops and online tire retailers can use VIN lookup to get from vehicle to factory tire sizes in one step, what it costs, and where it still needs a fallback.
Changelog for Tire API v1.6.0: a new OEM specs endpoint returns factory fastener torque, load index, speed rating, and XL marking for a vehicle — with no monthly quota on any paid plan. Plus six documentation and sample fixes, including a header name customers may need to update in their own code.
A step-by-step tutorial for replacing a five-field vehicle picker (year, make, model, trim, submodel) with a single VIN input, using the Tire API's /by_vin endpoint. Covers the request, error handling, quota checks, and a sensible fallback when a VIN can't be decoded.
Changelog for Tire API v1.4.0: uniform, tier-agnostic protections against automated bulk extraction of the fitment database, clearer Terms of Use, and neutral messaging that doesn't frame any plan as a way to scrape more. Normal usage limits are unchanged for everyone.
Changelog for Tire API v1.3.0: a new Business-only endpoint that returns the entire distinct tire-size catalog in one cached call, plus a generous new monthly quota on reverse lookup (with a 10-lookup Free trial bonus) to keep the fitment database usable and fair for everyone.
Changelog for Tire API v1.2.0: a new VIN lookup endpoint that decodes any 17-character VIN straight to its factory (OE) tire sizes in one call. Includes the new per-plan VIN quota, a 50-lookup Free plan welcome bonus, and a note on Toronto-anchored rate limit resets.
