Rate limit: 30 requests per minute Authenticated v2 endpoints are rate limited per API key rather than per IP address.

Search records by a typed lookup value.

Request Body

Optional notification routing supports notifyCommunityUserId by default, or notifyRoblox, notifyDiscord, or notifyAccountUuid.

{
  "searchType": "NUMBER",
  "value": "451",
  "notifyCommunityUserId": "player-1234",
  "types": [12]
}

Example Request

-- luarocks install sonoran.lua
local Sonoran = require("sonoran")

local sonoran = Sonoran.createClient({
  product = Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
  communityId = "YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
  apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
  defaultServerId = 1
})

local response = sonoran.cad:lookupByValueV2({
    searchType = 'plate',
    value = 'ABC123',
    types = {1},
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
print(response.success)

Call from a server-side FiveM resource using the exported CAD client:

local cad = exports["sonorancad"]:getCadClient()
local response = cad:lookupByValueV2({
  searchType = "plate",
  value = "ABC123",
  types = { 1 }
})
print(response.success)

JavaScript resources can use exports.sonorancad.getCadClient(). For .NET, construct a client from the protected CAD convars. Python is for external integrations, not FiveM resources.

// npm install @sonoransoftware/sonoran.js
const Sonoran = require('@sonoransoftware/sonoran.js');

(async () => {
  const instance = new Sonoran.Instance({
    communityId: 'YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    product: Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
    serverId: 1,
  });

  const response = await instance.cad.lookupByValueV2({
    searchType: 'plate',
    value: 'ABC123',
    types: [1],
  });
  console.log(response);
})();

# pip install Sonoran.py
# Sonoran.py is for external Python integrations; FiveM resources should use the SonoranCADFiveM tab.
from sonoran import Instance, productEnums

instance = Instance(
    apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY",
    communityId="YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
    product=productEnums.CAD,
    serverId=1,
)

response = instance.cad.lookupByValueV2({
    "searchType": 'plate',
    "value": 'ABC123',
    "types": [1],
  })

print(response.success)
print(response.data if response.success else response.reason)

// dotnet add package Sonoran.Net
using Sonoran;

using var sonoran = new SonoranClient(new SonoranClientOptions
{
    product = SonoranProduct.CAD,
    communityId = "YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
    apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
    defaultServerId = 1
});

var response = await sonoran.Cad.lookupByValueV2(new LookupByValueV2Request
{
    SearchType = "plate",
    Value = "ABC123",
    Types = new[] { 1 },
    Partial = true
});

Console.WriteLine(response.success);
Console.WriteLine(response.data);
