FAQ
Questions, answered
Which countries does CSNB cover?
Australia is live today for every state and territory. The United Kingdom, New Zealand, United States, European Union and Japan are on the roadmap — early-access requests are welcome.
Can I search by VIN as well as plate?
Yes. The same endpoint accepts either a registration plate or a 17-character VIN, and echoes what you sent in the search field.
How are errors handled?
Every response returns HTTP 200. Errors are described in _meta.reason inside the JSON body, with data fields set to null — one integration code path, no status-code surprises.
How do you handle privacy and data use?
We return registration-derived vehicle facts for legitimate business use. Keep your use case compliant with local laws — talk to us at [email protected] if you have a specific compliance question.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the BASIC tier on RapidAPI lets you evaluate the API before upgrading to PRO, ULTRA or MEGA.
Can I get access outside RapidAPI?
For enterprise volume, custom SLAs or direct contracts, email [email protected] and we'll set up a call.
