The /v4/search/plate/ endpoint lets you load the list of carriers that have utilized vehicles with a particular license plate number.
While it is possible for different vehicles in different states to have the same license plate number, it is unlikely that they would both be commercial vehicles of the same type. This endpoint is useful as a backup to /v4/search/vin.
The key distinction between this endpoint and /v4/search/dot/ is that this endpoint returns a list of carriers, not an in-depth profile, even if only one carrier matches to the search phrase.
Notes on this endpoint:
- Authentication via header. To authenticate your API call, pass in your public API key with the X-Api-Key HTTP header.
