Spanish vehicle registration plate

Endpoint GET /v1/es/vehicle-registration

What it covers

Returns a realistic Spanish vehicle registration plate. `type` selects the kind: `standard` (default, current `NNNN LLL`, e.g. 1234 BCD), `motorcycle` (text-identical), or a service/special class — `military` (ET/FN/EA), `diplomatic` (CD), `guardia-civil` (PGC), `national-police` (CNP), `temporary` (P), `dealer` (V), `historic` (H), or `trailer` (R). `era` chooses the format: `current` (default), `legacy` (the pre-2000 provincial `L(L)-NNNN-LL`, e.g. M-1234-AB, still common), or `both` (drawn per call); it only affects standard/motorcycle. `province` forces the legacy provincial code (an unknown province is a 400). Spain issues no vanity plates and no plate carries a checksum. Use `format` to choose spaced or compact rendering (legacy plates always render hyphenated).

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
countinteger1–1000Number of records to return, 1–1000 (your plan may lower this). Omitted returns a single record; set it for a batch.
edgebooleanRestrict output to edge-case plates from the rare corners of the format.
era"current" | "legacy" | "both"Format era: current (post-2000 NNNN LLL), legacy (pre-2000 provincial L(L)-NNNN-LL), or both (drawn per call). Only affects standard/motorcycle.
extremebooleanReturn a correct value wrapped in a hostile encoding (untrimmed whitespace, invisible/zero-width characters, BOM, or bidi/combining marks). Homoglyphs are excluded so the value stays machine-parseable; it still validates after normalisation.
format"with-space" | "compact"Plate rendering: with a space or compact. Default with-space.
invalidbooleanReturn a deliberately invalid value that fails validation, for testing rejection paths.
provincestringForce the legacy provincial code to a province (e.g. Madrid, Barcelona). Legacy/both eras, standard/motorcycle only.
seedintegerInteger seed for reproducible output: the same seed always yields the same record.
type"standard" | "motorcycle" | "military" | "diplomatic" | "guardia-civil" | "national-police" | "temporary" | "dealer" | "historic" | "trailer"Plate kind: standard, motorcycle, military, diplomatic, guardia-civil, national-police, temporary, dealer, historic, or trailer.
