payable

Whole-job pre-purchase bundle (?vin=[&country=CA|US]) — ONE payment returns the normalized VIN decode, merged US + Canada safety recalls, a known-issue/reliability summary, and a jurisdiction-level purchase+ownership cost estimate. Equivalent to 4 separate paid calls. Settles only if the decode succeeds AND ≥2 of the 3 secondary sections are available.

We sent a real GET request to this endpoint and it answered 402 with payment requirements we could parse.
