# Find a vehicle by registration, name, make or model

`GET /api/v1/vehicles/search`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://fleetkeep.co.uk`
- URL: `https://fleetkeep.co.uk/api/v1/vehicles/search`
- Auth: OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://fleetkeep.co.uk/auth/oauth2/authorize`, token URL `https://fleetkeep.co.uk/auth/oauth2/token`, scopes: `vehicles:read`)

Search only the signed-in user's vehicles. Use this before recording a service when the user gives a registration rather than a vehicle ID. Results are capped; if limit_reached is true, narrow the search before choosing a vehicle.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, required
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`

Up to the requested number of matching, account-owned vehicles; limit_reached means more may exist.

## Other responses

- `400`: The request body or query was invalid.
- `401`: Missing or invalid Bearer access token.
- `403`: Token does not include the required scope.
- `429`: Per-token rate limit exceeded (60 requests per minute).
