Vehicle Intelligence API

Unified access to verified New Zealand vehicle data.

Designed for platforms that need accuracy, consistency, and scale.

Vehicle Intelligence API showing comprehensive vehicle data

Make vehicle data simple

Vehicle information in New Zealand lives across several official registries and commercial datasets. Each source has its own structure, update timing, and integration rules. Building and maintaining a clean pipeline for all of them is slow, expensive, and operationally fragile.

The Vehicle Intelligence API brings these sources together behind one consistent interface. Your platform receives normalised, verified data without managing any of the underlying connections.

What the API delivers
