# Plain-text Search

The Vehicle Search API allows you to search for matching vehicles by plain-text input. The API will return an array of vehicles and the confidence score in a match for that given vehicle.

The request requires a region, search string & API key. The default page length is 10, however, you can adjust this based on your requirements.
