Great question! To fetch vehicle details by registration number in India, you can use the Parivahan VAHAN API or third-party APIs that wrap it.
Option 1: Official Parivahan API

Register at 👉 https://vahan.parivahan.gov.in/api/
Apply for API access (government approval required)
Once approved, use the endpoint:

GET https://vahan.parivahan.gov.in/api/v1/vehicle/{registration_number}
Option 2: Third-party APIs (faster to get started)
These wrap the Parivahan data and are easier to integrate:

RapidAPI → search "Vehicle RC Verification India"
SignalX → https://signalx.ai/
Vehicle RC API → https://www.vehicleinfo.in/api

Example using RapidAPI in JavaScript:
javascriptconst response = await fetch('https://rto-vehicle-information-verification-india.p.rapidapi.com/api/v1/rc/vehicleinfo', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ reg_no: 'MH12AB1234' })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
Option 3: Web Scraping (not recommended)
Scraping Parivahan directly violates their ToS and is unreliable.
Recommendation: Start with a RapidAPI provider for quick testing, then apply for official Parivahan API access for production use.
