Automatic Number Plate Recognition
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill is a coherent license-plate OCR integration, but users should understand that it uploads local vehicle images to TrafficEye and uses an API key.
Install only if you are comfortable sending chosen vehicle images to TrafficEye for recognition. Configure the API key securely, prefer header or bearer authentication, and use the helper only on image files you intend to process.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The agent may execute the bundled helper and read the specified local image file so it can be sent for recognition.
The skill instructs the agent to run a local Python helper on a user-provided image path. This is central to the stated ANPR purpose and is scoped to the image-recognition workflow.
Run `python3 recognize_plate.py <image-path> --format json`.
Use the skill only with image paths or attachments you intend to process, and avoid pointing it at unrelated private files.
Anyone with the configured key may be able to use the associated TrafficEye account or quota.
The skill needs a TrafficEye API key and supports several transport modes. This is expected for the TrafficEye integration, but API keys are account credentials and query/form transport can be less desirable depending on logging and deployment.
`TRAFFICEYE_API_KEY`: required unless passed explicitly to the helper. `TRAFFICEYE_API_KEY_MODE`: one of `header`, `bearer`, `form`, `query`.
Store the API key securely, prefer the provider-recommended header or bearer mode, and avoid query-string key transport unless your deployment specifically requires it.
The selected image and resulting plate information may leave the local machine and be processed by TrafficEye.
The core workflow sends a local image to an external recognition service. This is clearly disclosed and purpose-aligned, but vehicle images and license-plate data can be sensitive.
Uploads the image to the TrafficEye recognition API.
Only use this skill with images you are comfortable sending to TrafficEye, and review the provider’s privacy and retention terms if the images contain personal or regulated data.
