Following on from my earlier post on making an authenticated HTTP request in GO, I’ve packaged up the code, and published it to github for Go developers to easily import a wrapper for the http://www.vehicleregistrationapi.com API into their GO code.

The Repo lives at https://github.com/infiniteloopltd/GoCarRegistrationAPI

Here’s the documentation if you want to use the code –

GoCarRegistrationAPI

A wrapper for the Car Registration API in Go. To use this package you will need a username and password from http://www.vehicleregistrationapi.com

Usage

package main
import "github.com/infiniteloopltd/GoCarRegistrationAPI"
import "fmt"

func main() {  
    data := car_registration.Australia_lookup("YHC14Y","NSW","***Your Username***","***Your Password***")
    m := data.(map[string]interface{})
    //fmt.Printf("%+v", m)
    fmt.Println(m["Description"])
}

The methods of car_registration are Australia_lookup, USA_lookup and European_lookup, all methods reuturn an interface{}, which can be cast to a string map as shown above.

Australia_lookup

Australia lookup accepts four parameters, the registration number, the state, and your username and password, in that order.

USA_lookup

USA lookup accepts four parameters, the registration number, the state, and your username and password, in that order.

European_lookup

European lookup accepts four parameters, the endpoint, the registration number, and your username and password, in that order, where the endpoint can be one of:
