Overview#

The UK gov Vehicle Enquiry API provides access to key vehicle data, allowing users to retrieve information about a vehicle's make, model, color, fuel type, CO2 emissions, and more by inputting its registration number. Leveraging this API within Pipedream opens up a realm of possibilities for automating tasks related to vehicle management, compliance checks, and data aggregation for businesses in the automotive industry or for public sector uses.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    uk_gov_vehecle_enquiry_api: {
      type: "app",
      app: "uk_gov_vehecle_enquiry_api",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {
      "registrationNumber": `{enter_registration_number_here}`,
    }
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `https://driver-vehicle-licensing.api.gov.uk/vehicle-enquiry/v1/vehicles`,
      headers: {
        "x-api-key": `${this.uk_gov_vehecle_enquiry_api.$auth.api_key}`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
      data,
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Vehicle Compliance Monitoring: Trigger a workflow that periodically checks a fleet of vehicles for tax and MOT compliance by querying the Vehicle Enquiry API. If a vehicle is found non-compliant, the workflow can automatically notify the fleet manager or initiate a renewal process by connecting to a DMV scheduling app.
Second-hand Car Dealership Integration: Upon receiving a new inventory list, trigger a Pipedream workflow that verifies each vehicle’s details with the Vehicle Enquiry API. The workflow can enrich a dealership’s database with accurate car data and flag potential discrepancies or issues before listing the vehicles for sale.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Use the API to collect data on fuel type and CO2 emissions for a set of vehicles. A Pipedream workflow can aggregate this information, analyze the environmental impact, and send a summarized report to stakeholders or integrate with a dashboard app for real-time monitoring.
