Field notes
The page shows GET routes for plate, VIN, and vehicle ID, plus a sample JSON record with registration status, first-registration date, make, model, color, and emissions standard. It says the dataset comes from Motorstyrelsen extracts, covers about 13 million vehicles including deregistered ones, and is refreshed roughly weekly. Developer-facing details include OpenAPI 3.1, RFC 9457 problem responses, versioned /v1 endpoints, and a dated change log; these are presented as service features, not independently tested here.
