The Vehicle Registration API allows you to search for a vehicle by supplying its number plate. The request requires a region, the state (dependent on region), the number plate, and the API key. It will return either a matching vehicle or a null.
If a matching vehicle cannot be identified in all cases, we will return the upstream_vehicle
field, allowing you to identify how the relevant road transport authority describes the car. Depending on your use case, you may wish to allow front-end users to manually classify the vehicle using the guide to fill out a Facet-style.
