About this dataset

One row = one vehicle, ~30 fields. Looked up by license plate (mispar_rechev) or VIN. This dataset powers every "check this car" app in Israel (car.co.il, yad2, icar etc.).

- 3Add q="<license plate>" for a fuzzy search.
- 4Or filters={"mispar_rechev": 1234567} for exact.
Installation & setup
None. Work directly with the data.gov.il API, or download the full CSV weekly and load into Postgres. For production — a daily ETL is the right pattern.
Code examples
async function checkCar(plate) {
const res = await fetch(
"https://data.gov.il/api/3/action/datastore_search?" +
new URLSearchParams({
resource_id: "053cea08-09bc-40ec-8f7a-156f0677aff3",
q: plate,
limit: "1",
})
);
const { result } = await res.json();
return result.records[0];
}
const car = await checkCar("1234567");
console.log(`${car.tozeret_nm} ${car.kinuy_mishari} ${car.shnat_yitzur}`);Sample response

Tips & pitfalls
Run a daily ETL into Postgres with an index on mispar_rechev — 100× faster queries.
Fields are Hebrew-transliterated — map them once to human-readable names.
Since 2023 there are new odometer fields — useful for appraisal apps.
