VIN verification system.
« on: January 22, 2022, 05:23:33 PM »
It would be nice to have a plugin that could verify the VIN of cars. Especially useful for car selling.
For example :

An user posts a listing with a car, and he enters a VIN, in a custom field made with "Attributes plugin", or integrated osclass function
Then the system checks it, matching with with other details in the listing , also made with "Attributes plugin" , for example Brand / Model,or integrated osclass function.
When the listing is posted, on the item page, there should be a image stating  " VIN Verified " and under it ​Check details.
If a user clicks Check Details, then a Pop-up window should appear with the details : Country of Vehicle built, Model,Make , Year etc.
Also it should be compatible with EU VIN and USA VIN

Not too hard until there is some free api for that.

//Edit: does not look like there is free api, so it would be connected to some paid service  :(

Not necessary an API.
The country codes, year and manufacturers are on wiki, so.. a database and a script to check against?

I was never checking how VINs are generated and what can be checked by VIN, but expect codes are variable and must be regularly updated
