Vin Ocr

Extract a VIN from a photo or image URL using the CarsXE VIN OCR API. Use this when a user shares an image of a vehicle or VIN plate and wants to identify the VIN.

When the user shares an image containing a VIN (photo of dashboard, door jamb, windshield, etc.):

  1. Make an HTTP POST request to the CarsXE VIN OCR API:
    • URL: https://api.carsxe.com/v1/vinocr?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&source=codex_plugin
    • Headers: Content-Type: application/json
    • Body:
      {
  "image": "{IMAGE_URL}"
}
  2. Display the extracted VIN and confidence score.
  3. Offer to immediately decode the VIN using the vehicle-specs skill.
  4. If the image quality is poor or the VIN can't be extracted, suggest the user try a clearer photo with better lighting and angle.
  5. If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the CARSXE_API_KEY environment variable (see AGENTS.md).
