DVLA

Connect to the DVLA and retrieve vehicle information from a UK Vehicle Registration Number.

The DVLA Data Connector uses the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency's Vehicle Enquiry Service API to retrieve information about vehicles in the UK.

Once this has been installed and added to a Form, you can access this Data Connector in the Form's server event scripts using: connectors.verjio.dvla.

dvla.getVehicleInfo retrieves information about a vehicle from its vehicle registration number (also known as a license plate). The information returned includes fuel type, MOT status, make, colour and body type.

Code example:

var result = connectors.verjio.dvla.getVehicleInfo('HA58 TAG');

Coming soon:

This Data Connector also makes some authentication functions available to help manage DVLA users using: connectors.verjio.dvla.authentication.

authentication.requestNewPasswordVerificationCode requests a verifcation code so that a new password can be updated for a user.
authentication.changePasswordByVerificationCode sets a new password for a user using a verfication code.
authentication.changePassword sets a new password for a user. Can only be used if their current password is valid and has not expired.
authentication.changeAPIKey retreive a new API key for a user.

Code example:

connectors.verjio.dvla.authentication.changePassword('newPassword');
