Using cURL

The simplest approach is to make a request in your terminal using curl. The example below shows how you can retrieve VIN Decoder from a registration plate and state entry. This uses the vin_decoder endpoint.

Example request:

curl "https://sandbox.blueflag.com.au/vin_decoder?vin=KMHH351EMKU00TEST" \-H "Authorization: secret_SANDBOX_f1nlZOh0Xr1JvMgJy0d0l9i5JybnBEAYfl7isuU0_o-1GkBsaN8f"

Replace the example sandbox key in the request above with the sandbox key you generated in step 2 and paste the snippet in your terminal. This will send a request to our API using VIN Decoder for the plate TEST00 in the state of VIC .

You will get the JSON response for this request as per below:

    {    "request_id": "baf6dcfb-0a34-4881-9365-87dffc9d1e31",    "result": {        "vin": "KMHH351EMKU00TEST",        "make": "Hyundai",        "model": "i30",        "series": "PD2",        "variant": "Active",        "build_year": 2019,        "model_year": 2019,        "body_style": "Hatchback",        "doors": 4,        "seats": 5,        "fuel": {            "type": "Petrol"        },        "drive": "FWD",        "engine": {            "cylinders": 4,            "size_litres": 2        },        "transmission": {            "type": "Auto"        }    }}
