vehicle.safety-ratings

NHTSA NCAP 5-Star crash-test ratings for a US vehicle by (make, model, modelYear). Returns one item per crash-tested body style with the overall star rating, front/side/rollover sub-ratings, modeled rollover probability, crash-avoidance tech flags (electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning), and complaint/recall/investigation counts. A vehicle with no crash testing returns an empty list (a valid result, not an error). Backed by NHTSA's public 5-Star Safety Ratings program; data is public-domain US government records.

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/vehicle/safety-ratings?make=xx&model=example&modelYear=1949'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/vehicle/safety-ratings?make=xx&model=example&modelYear=1949' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
