RESPONSE EXAMPLE

GET /DE-car/{license-plate}

The response is in real-time, as is the database update. All data comes from official sources.

Here is an example of a response, with all the vehicle specifications:

{
      "data": {
         "LicensePlate": "4000305",
         "Description": "Maserati Levante D V6 Auto",
         "CarMake": "Maserati",
         "CarModel": "Levante D V6 Auto",
         "MakeDescription": "Maserati",
         "ModelDescription": "Levante D V6 Auto",
         "PoweKW": "59",      
         "PoweHP": "80",
         "EngineSize": "1281",
         "Fuel": "Benzin",
         "Timestamp": 1665411640
      },
      "success": true,
      "message": "",
      "error": null
    }

The response is for illustrative purposes only, and for some vehicles, not all listed data may be available.

The service is ideal for companies in the insurance sector, for example, for the automatic verification of vehicle data and for the conclusion of policies, or for fleet management companies for efficient monitoring and control of corporate fleets.

For Germany, another service for motorcycle license plate verification is also available.
