Engine To RC API FAQs
Common questions about our mechanical-to-registration mapping and vehicle identity verification services.
1. What information does the Engine To RC API provide?
The API retrieves full registration details (RC) using an engine number, including the vehicle registration number (VRN), owner name, chassis number, vehicle model, fuel type, and registration expiration date.
2. Is the data fetched in real-time?
Yes, the data is fetched directly from the Vahan centralized registry. This ensures that you receive the most current information regarding the vehicle's ownership and legal status.
3. Why would I use an Engine number instead of a Chassis number?
Using the engine number is critical for mechanical verification, insurance audits, and preventing part-swapping fraud. It ensures the physical engine matches the registered vehicle identity.
4. Does it support commercial and private vehicles?
Yes, our API provides coverage for all vehicle categories registered under the Vahan system, including two-wheelers, private cars, commercial trucks, and construction equipment.
5. Can I identify if a vehicle is blacklisted using this API?
Yes, the response includes a blacklist flag. If a vehicle has been flagged by an RTO for pending challans, theft, or legal issues, it will be reflected in the API output.
6. How fast is the API response for bulk queries?
Our infrastructure is built for high concurrency. Even with bulk requests, we maintain low latencies, typically returning data within 300ms to 600ms per successful lookup.
7. Does the API return insurance and fitness validity?
Yes, the detailed RC response includes metadata about the vehicle's fitness certificate (FC) expiry and current insurance policy status, including the provider name.
8. What happens if the engine number is not found?
If the engine number does not match any record in the national database, the API returns a specific error code (e.g., RECORD_NOT_FOUND) so your application can handle the exception gracefully.
9. Is this API suitable for the used car marketplace?
Absolutely. It is a vital tool for verifying that the engine of a listed vehicle actually belongs to the registered RC, providing trust and security for buyers and platforms.
10. How do I get started with integration?
You can sign up for an API key on our developer portal. Once authenticated, you can use our technical documentation and SDKs to integrate the Engine To RC lookup in minutes.
