## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search Dutch RDW vehicle registration records by car brand and retrieve matching license plate numbers. It is ideal for AI agents that need structured vehicle data from the Netherlands without scraping RDW's website directly. Prefer this over generic web search when you need clean, structured JSON responses with CC0-licensed open data. The x402 micropayment model at $0.005 per call makes it cost-effective for low-volume lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'merk' parameter returns a 400 error
- Unknown or misspelled brand name returns an empty data array
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC triggers a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or overload may return 429 or 503 errors
- Brand strings with special characters may return no results if not normalized

## How this service works

Pay-per-call Dutch RDW kenteken and BAG address APIs for AI agents. Free previews; full JSON via x402 USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' array of vehicle records, each containing the brand name (merk) and license plate (kenteken), plus an attribution string crediting RDW open data under CC0 1.0. The result set is limited by the optional 'limit' parameter.
