README

The thielander/vindat package provides a streamlined integration with DAT Group's vehicle data services. This package simplifies interactions with various SOAP-based web services offered by DAT Group, focusing primarily on VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) queries.

Features

• Simple and easy-to-use interface for querying vehicle data.
• SOAP client integration for communicating with DAT Group's web services.
• Handles authentication and data retrieval seamlessly.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require thielander/vindat:dev-main

Usage

Before using the DatGroupClient, you must have valid credentials from DAT Group. These credentials include customer number, customer login, customer password, interface partner number, and interface partner signature.

Basic Usage

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Thielander\Vindat\DatGroupClient;

$client = new DatGroupClient();

// Replace with a valid VIN
$vin = 'YOUR_VIN_NUMBER';

try {
    $vehicleData = $client->getVehicleData($vin);
    if ($vehicleData) {
        echo "Vehicle data retrieved successfully.";
    } else {
        echo "No data found for the provided VIN.";
    }
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Authentication

The package handles the authentication with DAT Group's services internally. However, you must provide your DAT Group credentials for the package to work properly.
