Download vehicle data from the DVSA MOT API using VRM.
get_MOT(vrm, apikey)
vrm | A list of VRMs as character strings. |
---|---|
apikey | Your API key as a character string. |
This function takes a a character vector of vehicle registrations (VRMs) and returns vehicle data from MOT records. It returns a data frame of those VRMs which were successfully used with the DVSA MOT API.
Information on the DVSA MOT API is available here: https://dvsa.github.io/mot-history-api-documentation/
The DVSA MOT API requires a registration. The function therefore requires the API key provided by the DVSA. Be aware that the API has usage limits. The function will therefore limit lists with more than 150,000 VRMs.
