I have built a vehicle api for my personal use case using multiple sources. You can test at https://t.me/VehicleDetailsBot
(sharing as a telegram bot and not an api to keep it free and prevent from abuse) Some values are obfuscated but can be made available.
how this bot works ?
Came across this RC API on Rapid Api, it contains more than 200 fields in the Response and is not expensive as well. After a lot of RnD this seems to be the only RC API that gives real time data and covers all most all the data at a reasonable price.
