## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability opendata402-dutch-vehicle-registry-lookup-nl-licence-plate-daddac68
```

Example prompt: Can you check what the RDW data says about Dutch licence plate GT495X — I want to know the make, model, MOT expiry, and whether there are any open recalls before I buy it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint whenever you need authoritative Dutch vehicle data keyed by licence plate — for pre-sale verification, APK/MOT compliance checks, insurance status, open recall screening, or logistics fleet onboarding in the Netherlands. It draws directly from RDW open data, making it the canonical source for Dutch vehicle registry information. Prefer it over generic vehicle-data APIs when the plate is Dutch and regulatory/official accuracy is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent plate format returns an error (plate must be 4–8 alphanumeric characters)
- Plate not found in the RDW registry (foreign plates, unregistered vehicles) returns a 404 or empty result
- Plates belonging to vehicles deregistered before digitisation may have incomplete data
- Temporary or diplomatic plates may not be in the open RDW dataset
- Network or upstream RDW API outage returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Dutch vehicle registry lookup by licence plate (RDW open data): make, model, vehicle type, colour, first registration date, APK (MOT) expiry, fuel type, CO2 and power, insurance and open recall flags. Use it to verify a Dutch car, van or motorbike before a sale, rental, parking or logistics task. Plate without dashes, e.g. GT495X. No personal owner data.

## Output

Returns structured vehicle data from the Dutch RDW open registry: brand/make, model, vehicle type category, colour, first registration date, APK (MOT) expiry date, fuel type, CO2 emissions, engine power (kW/bhp), insurance status flag, and open recall flag. No personal owner information is included.
