const vin = '1G1RC6E42BU123456';
const url = `https://api.vehicledatabases.com/v1/specs?vin=${vin}`;
fetch(url, { headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_KEY' } })
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => {
console.log(data.engine.horsepower); // 455 hp
console.log(data.dimensions.length_in); // 188.3 in
console.log(data.colors.exterior); // ['Black', 'Red', 'White']
