Validate a plate

Checks a license plate against the format for a country. An invalid plate still returns 200. This does not check a vehicle registry.

POST/v1/plates/validate

import { Client } from "@liveapiio/liveapi";

const client = new Client({ token: process.env.LIVEAPI_TOKEN });

const plate = await client.validatePlate("34 ABC 123", "TR");

Request

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. The token stays on your server. Each library reads it from the environment and calls this endpoint for you.

Field	Type	Description
plate	string	The plate text. Required.
country	string	ISO country code. Required.

Response

200 with valid: false means the format does not match. That response still uses one call.

Errors

A failed request returns { "error": { "code", "message" } } and does not use a call.

Status	Code	When
400	invalid_request	A required field is missing or has the wrong type.
401	unauthorized	The bearer token is missing or not recognized.
