Vehicle history

Every event recorded for a VIN, oldest first: the first listing, each price change, status changes and removal, with the dealer site it was seen on. meta.sources reports the status of each history source. A page with a failing source has meta.partial: true and no next_cursor: retry it.

Plan and price

A call is billed when it answers 2xx. See pricing.
