To create a sensor/automation/notification for like when your APK(Dutch) expires it would be handy to create a component for this. https://overheid.io/documentatie/voertuiggegevens
I guess there is way more information when you create a component for overheid.io or even create a list of the specifications of the licence plate.
The Free Developer API Key can go up to:
500 API calls each month.
500 suggestions each month.
500 geo lookups each month.
(So you probably have to set a limit of API calls to max 10 a day to stay within the monthly limit)
I hope some developer is also interested in creating a component for this.

Suggestion (as told per Discord):
Use RDW opendata. Public official data, no API key needed.
Example for license plate 11-DD-DD:
https://opendata.rdw.nl/resource/m9d7-ebf2.json?kenteken=11DDDD
vervaldatum_apk
is the field you are looking for.

Better way of implementation into home assistant:
Hi all,
I’ve written a custom sensor which can check Dutch license plate id’s in the database of the RDW (the governmental department for road traffic). It will create sensors for the APK due date, the insured flag and a flag which signals if the manufacturer of the car has issues a recall because of a serious safety problem.
Let me know if you like it!

Hi
I realy like this plugin.
Is it possible tot make an update with HACS support, since custom updater will be phased out zoon.
THANKS, @frenck !! It took some years but this is awesome.
Since the custom addon for this also died a long time ago…
