For developers

Image Plate

Seeing is believing. That's why we're showing you the power of our proprietary license plate API to decode the plate value from an image. Let's see what an example response from the Image returns when we pass it through the API requesting everything.

Access to a Large Dataset
The API provides broad regional coverage and access to a leading edge machine learning model to provide accurate results.
Variety of data points
It provides a rich set of data points. Get bounding box coordinates (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax), candidates, dscore, plate, region, score, and vehicle type.
Affordable pricing
The API offers a low-cost entry point to start using their service, with plans likely suited for various use cases.

License Plate Recognition
The API accurately identifies and extracts license plate numbers from vehicle images, providing multiple candidate readings with corresponding confidence scores.
Vehicle Type Detection
Alongside the license plate data, the API identifies the type of vehicle in the image, such as 'Car', with a high level of accuracy.
Region Identification
The API determines the region of the vehicle's license plate, which can be useful for localizing and categorizing the data, with an associated confidence score.
Image Processing Time
Each request's processing time is provided, allowing users to gauge the efficiency of the API's performance for their application needs.
Bounding Box Coordinates
The API offers precise bounding box coordinates for the identified license plate, aiding in visual representation and integration with other systems.
Data Confidence Scores
For each license plate and vehicle type identified, the API provides confidence scores, offering insights into the reliability of the extracted data.
