A US license plate API turns a plate + state into a VIN and specs when you do not have the 17-character VIN. On Zyla API Hub that job is the Get VIN from License Plate API — US Only. Official docs plate: 8UZS701, state=california.
The catalog is more than 10,000 public APIs. Subscribe per listing. No Free Plan. Your first Hub API includes a 7-day free trial (up to 50 requests). Call Get States first — the state string must match that list. This is not a vehicle history report.
Request: official California plate

Store VIN, then decode specs on a VIN listing if you need engine/fuel. A French plaque belongs on the France License Plate API — Official SIV (plaque=FH034DD), not here.
