Price policies on the right vehicle data

The customer types their plate, and your calculator gets kind, usage, weight, power and model year straight from the register's extract. The data holds no personal data.

Fields you typically use

  • Kind and primary usage
  • Power and displacement
  • Total weight and own weight
  • Model year and first registration
  • Make, model and variant
  • Registration status

Vehicle data for insurance pricing

  • Fewer wrong answers

    The customer doesn't pick model and power. You get them from the register.

  • A short quote flow

    One plate instead of a long form means fewer people drop off.

  • No personal data

    The API has the vehicle, not the owner. That keeps data processing simpler.

What a call looks like

Every response is JSON with stable field names. IDs are strings, dates are YYYY-MM-DD.
