# Factory Build Data

## Overview

To request an extensive factory build data list call the */build-data* endpoint. If the relevant manufacturer is participating in our Options data product you will see it in the response.

For example, you could request build information  `VIN:WVWZZZAWZKU065305` as below.

```json
/v2/vehicles/vins/SALWA2KE5EA312255/build-data?region=nz
```

The VIN decodes to a Volkswagen Polo, as VW is participating in the Build data program we are able to deliver the following build data.

````json
{
    "success": true,
    "vehicle": {
        "vin": "WVWZZZAWZKU065305",
        "build_date": "2019-03-19",
        "make": "VOLKSWAGEN",
        "model": "POLO",
        "features": [

                "value": "South Africa manufacturing sequence"
            },

{
    "error": true,
    "message": "Invalid or Unsupported VIN"
}
```
