nitrovin
An offline VIN decoder that answers like NHTSA's
vPIC. It is a Go port of spVinDecode, the
decoding procedure NHTSA publishes inside its monthly vPIC database, and it
ships as one binary with a month of vPIC data inside. No network, no
database, no API key.
Its goals are compatibility, answering exactly as vPIC does, and interoperability, working with other systems through vPIC's ids, its output shapes and standard formats; speed serves them, and is not one of them.
Every data month is checked against NHTSA's own procedure running in Postgres before it ships: every row of every VIN in an 18,318-VIN corpus must match, byte for byte, or the month does not ship (what parity means).
