Network Programming in .NET

With a database of 16 Million Chinese number plates and associated vehicle details and owners, we’ve launched an API that allows a lookup on this data. This allows you to determine the make, model and owner of a Chinese Vehicle from it’s license plate, assuming it’s found in our database (Which admittedly is only 4% of the vehicles in China).

The website is available here; https://www.chepaiapi.cn/ and we also have offline data available, for analysis for other purposes.

Car registration plates in China use the /CheckChina  endpoint and returns the following information:

• Make / Model
• Age
• Engine Size
• VIN
• Owner details
• Representative image

In China, only 4% of all vehicles are covered by our database, therefore most searches will not return data, there is no charge for a failed search.
