All states & territories
NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT are covered through one endpoint and one schema.
Australian rego & VIN checks, one JSON call
Live for every state and territory. Send a plate or VIN and get the vehicle's year, make, model, VIN, body type and transmission — normalized and ready to integrate in minutes.
Plate or VIN in one parameter
The API detects a 17-character VIN automatically and routes to the right lookup.
Standardized output
Uppercased makes, normalized state codes and a deterministic _meta confidence object.
Predictable errors
HTTP 200 with _meta.reason — one code path in every language.
Cloudflare edge
Responses are cached at the edge, so repeat lookups return in milliseconds.
Free tier to start
Evaluate on the BASIC plan, then scale with PRO, ULTRA or MEGA as traffic grows.

FAQ
Common questions
Which Australian states are supported?
All eight: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory.
Can I search by VIN instead of plate?
Yes — the same regoOrVin parameter accepts a 17-character VIN and the API routes it automatically.
Is the response cached?
Yes, at Cloudflare's edge. Vehicle identity data changes rarely, so cached responses are both fast and accurate.
How do I integrate?
Subscribe on RapidAPI, then follow the cURL, JavaScript or Python snippets in the documentation.
