Window Sticker API Overview
The VinAudit Window Sticker API provides access to original-style window sticker data for vehicles using their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This includes information such as manufacturer specifications, factory-installed options, and MSRP, closely mirroring the Monroney label format seen on new vehicles. The API returns a rendered image (PNG) or PDF of the window sticker when data is available. If an error occurs or no data is found, a JSON or XML error message is returned instead. To use this API, you must have an active VinAudit Window Sticker API subscription and an authorized API key.
Use Cases
- Display original equipment and MSRP details in vehicle reports
- Enhance dealership inventory listings with OEM data
- Power pricing or feature comparison tools for shoppers
