Vinbot generates decodable vins for you to use in your applications. Vinbot will also give you a vehicle object that contains the decoded information. Vinbot is an API around the vin_bank database (https://github.com/manheim/vin_bank).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

Ruby

And then execute:

Or install it yourself as:
