CarRegistration

This is an API Wrapper for Python for the VehicleRegistrationApi.com API which allows you to get car data from it’s number plate in many countries across the globe, from the USA, Europe, Australia, and Africa.

An account username and password is required from VehicleRegistrationApi.com

When using the Generic “CarRegistration” function, the fourth parameter is an API endpoint, which can be one of;

  • Check (UK)
  • CheckBelgium
  • CheckCroatia
  • CheckCzechRepublic
  • CheckDenmark
  • CheckEstonia
  • CheckFinland
  • CheckFrance
  • CheckHungary
  • CheckIndia
  • CheckIreland
  • CheckItaly
  • CheckNetherlands
  • CheckNewZealand
  • CheckNigeria
  • CheckNorway
  • CheckPortugal
  • CheckRussia
  • CheckSlovakia
  • CheckSouthAfrica
  • CheckSpain
  • CheckSriLanka
  • CheckSweden
  • CheckUAE

For Australia and USA, you must also pass a state parameter, and therefore you must use the CarRegistrationUSA or CarRegistrationAustralia methods.

Installation

 easy_install CarRegistration

Usage (UK)

 from CarRegistration import *
 CarRegistration("BL64JTZ","***YOUR USERNAME***","***YOUR PASSWORD***","Check")

Usage (France)

 from CarRegistration import *
 CarRegistration("Eg258ma","***YOUR USERNAME***","***YOUR PASSWORD***","CheckFrance")

Usage (USA)

 from CarRegistration import *
 CarRegistrationUSA("H84jae","nj","***YOUR USERNAME***","***YOUR PASSWORD***")

Usage (Australia)

 from CarRegistration import *
 CarRegistrationAustralia("YHC14Y","NSW","***YOUR USERNAME***","***YOUR PASSWORD***")

Sample output

{u'RegistrationYear': u'2015', u'CarModel': {u'CurrentTextValue': u'208'}, u'NumberOfDoors': {u'CurrentTextValue': u'3'}, u'EngineSize': {u'CurrentTextValue': u'1397

And here’s the source code for those interested:

import urllib2, base64, json

def CarRegistration(registrationNumber, username, password):
request = urllib2.Request(“http://www.regcheck.org.uk/api/json.aspx/Check/” + registrationNumber)
base64string = base64.encodestring(‘%s:%s’ % (username, password)).replace(‘\n’, ”)
request.add_header(“Authorization”, “Basic %s” % base64string)
result = urllib2.urlopen(request)
data = json.load(result)
return(data)

    Here is an updated version of

    import urllib.request, base64, json

    import urllib.request, base64, json def CarRegistration(registrationNumber, username, password):

    url = “http://www.regcheck.org.uk/api/json.aspx/Check/” + registrationNumber request = urllib.request.Request(url)

    # Python 3 uses b” for byte strings base64string = base64.b64encode((‘%s:%s’ % (username, password)).encode(‘utf-8’)).decode(‘utf-8’)

    request.add_header(“Authorization”, “Basic %s” % base64string) with urllib.request.urlopen(request) as response:

    data = json.load(response)

    return data
