Vehicle Plate Decoder API

What it does

The Vehicle Plate Decoder API looks up the vehicle based on the vehicle's registration/license plate number and state through the database for matches and returns the VIN, make, model and year among other attributes.

Find the VIN from a license plate. One GET returns VIN, year, make, model, trim, engine and registered color across 57 countries. Free sandbox.

One plate returns VIN, trim, engine, transmission, drive type, registered color and assembly country. Most plate tools stop at year, make and model. Three parameters and a JSON response. Copy the request from the panel below, swap in a plate and a state, and the first decode runs in minutes. A free sandbox, a documented response, and support that can tell you which fields your countries return before you build the intake screen. Pass country to reach 57 markets, district for Pakistan, or require_vin=1 in Spain when a VIN is mandatory. That one costs 2x a standard lookup. The panel on the right is a real request for plate 7XER187 in California and the response it returns. Scroll it to see…from carsxe.com

  This started as a project to scratch my own itch and has grown from there. Initially I wanted a way to easily see if potential funny license plates were available in a given state, but I've also started using it at car shows when I'm curious which engine or transmission is in a car. It most cases the plate can be matched to a VIN using DMV data, and then some information about the vehicle can be decoded into basic car specs You can also purchase a full vehicle history report which uses data from the NMVTIS and other services to show accident history, previous titles, and salvage issues.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Angeldust – a fast and efficient video game▲716

  After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
