    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Hey Wittaj, many thanks for the links to these resources. Esperian doesn't list their prices, but said in an email to me that a support team will be contacting me regarding pricing. These other two resources you found do show their prices, either 20 cents per look up or 10 cents per look up...

    From their FAQ: Q. How much does it cost to use Experian APIs? API pricing is dependent on the product, country of use, usage volume and additional factors. Please visit an API Products page to find out more or contact support.

    I envision having the Esperian [username/password/client ID/client secret] as stored settings within the individual user's LPR app, where automation could continue. Their samples do not show 'plate' as something to search off of, though, just VIN.

    Still looking, but this might fit the bill. I signed up with an account. There's no discussion of payment plans . . yet. After signing up, the next step is to create an app. There's a lot of different datasets, but I selected the AutoCheck AccuSelect Sandbox. After the app is created (and they...

    In some regard, if there was a particular plate we needed to look at then we could always come to their website to acquire it. Adding to the database is an easy matter, but GymRatz's coding is different from mine, and he is much better at SQL statements than I am. Two ways come to mind to do...

    I as an HTML amateur was looking briefly at the website yesterday, and analysing the cookies which the website produces, and couldn't see how to extract the string from the webpage. The returned data is embedded in a series of .js javascript files. While the data is present on the page, one...

    I found the year/make/model data most useful in doing a sort-by on the Body field, so that the apparent delivery trucks ("Walk-in Van", "Commercial Chassis", "Conventional Cab Truck", etc) can be grouped together. At that point I would tag any new FedEx/AMZN/UPS/etc. as "Delivery" in order to...

    The reply I received stated that the service I am asking for is not available to individuals, and that their consumer website allows for vehicle history reports.

    So Esperian AutoCheck responded this AM with a basic form letter, asking for details on my business for a sales associate to contact me. Hopefully my second response will allow them to better focus on what us hobbyists are asking for.

    Or get 17 people to serially subscribe every 21 days and share the logins. It's unlimited data, albeit times 17, but getting $850 from 17 people is better than getting $0 from 17 people! Of course, only if the EULA allows it.

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    One thought is that $49.99 for unlimited look-ups, and subscribe only once a year to fill up the missing years' records. Not ideal. Even then, if the data gets returned via a javascript rather than a JSON output then extracting the data automatically would not be possible, at least for me.

    My best guess is that my inquiry will be politely answered, and nothing will come of it, at least quickly. If GymRatz could quantify how many users there are of the LPR downloader/viewer (or at least how many times the github code has been downloaded) then that might allow for more leverage with...

    Hey biggen, what is the diffrence between the now-closed AutoCheck JSON process and the OpenALPR webhook process? The AutoCheck used to allow make/model/year/VIN, and some other data as long as a plate was in the database. Isn't the OpenALPR limited to daytime estimates based on the camera view?

    Thanks for the lead, wittaj. The data shows on the webpage okay within a javascript, but the string cannot be copied in automation for our collection purposes, at least I can't.

    I sent in a contact form inquiring on whether they might consider selling a hobbyist API subscription service. We are not interested in whether a car had ever been in an accident or flood, or had more than 1 owner. We just want the year/make/model. Otherwise I believe OpenALPR offers their...

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Looks like Esperian operates the website. They want $49.99 for unlimited VIN/plate lookups within 21 days. Might as well be asking $4,999. Even so, the data they can provide is very deep, where all the LPR hobbyist is interested in are the make/model/year/VIN. Wonder if they could consider a...

    Yes, it looks like the JSON call for VIN data has stopped working. The webpage query returns this message: Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback. Sun Jun 13 01:58:52 UTC 2021 There was an unexpected error (type=Bad...

    Sorry to hear the service glitched for you. My OpenALPR account has been stable. Did you have to reinstall the agent client software? After rebooting my PC early this AM for a Windows update, I noticed it took a while for the camera to get connected within the agent client.

    Turret camera needed for short range, mailbox mounted, LPR

    Concerning the placement on the mailbox, I am thinking the most unobtrusive place for these 6" turrets would be on the post itself, just below the box. That way, their sillouette would not be as seen unless looking at the mailbox perpendicular to the road. Maybe provide some sort of skirt or...

    which camera would you use and does anyone have a starting templet of settings for the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E?

    If the trees on the right are interfering with a good look far afield then I would suggest swapping the two cameras so that the LPR camera can see beyond those trees. That might improve the angle, and if the zoom is sufficient then better captures.

    Fake Paper Plates

    Here is California it's about a $1100 fine to purposely obscure a plate from LPR, but there's a market for various products which removes the reflective coating. Just as window tinters are willing to sell and install opaque films but tell their customers it's on them if they are caught.

    Fake Paper Plates

    Printing out fake plates is a waste of time. Just join the non-tax-paying crowds who don't bother to renew their two-and three-year-old registrations and who drive around with no insurance. Long gone are the days that anyone cares. The government will just print more money (or borrow it from China)!
