# Vehículo México

`POST https://placapi.com/api/vehiculo-mx`

Ficha técnica de un vehículo mexicano por placa, desde el registro público vehicular nacional, más su estado de robo cruzado contra cuatro fuentes: fiscalía, aseguradoras, avisos ministeriales y el registro de robo de EE. UU./Canadá. Devuelve los 13 campos canónicos comunes a todos los países; los que el registro no publica llegan en `null` y quedan listados en `cobertura.noPublicados`. Un vehículo fuera del padrón responde `no_inscrito` (la cobertura del registro es parcial y eso no es un error). No incluye datos del propietario. Cuesta 1 crédito. Costo: 1 crédito por consulta con datos.

## Parámetros

| Campo     | Tipo    | Obligatorio | Detalle                                                                                                                            |
| --------- | ------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `placa`   | string  | Sí          | Placa mexicana, sin guiones ni espacios.                                                                                           |
| `refresh` | boolean | No          | Ignora la caché y vuelve a consultar la fuente oficial. Ojo: una consulta refrescada con datos siempre cobra (el hit de caché no). |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://placapi.gitbook.io/placapi-docs/fuera-de-colombia/vehiculo-mexico.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
