Everything You Need to Know About Driving Licences in India: A Quick Guide

In today’s digital-first world, verifying identity has become more important than ever. One crucial but often overlooked document is your driving license—a legal permit to drive and a valid proof of identity. Whether you’re hiring drivers, issuing vehicle loans, or screening candidates, driving license verification is an essential step to ensure compliance and reduce fraud.

What Is Driving License Verification?

Driving license verification is the process of authenticating the validity and details of a driver's licence using official government databases, primarily those maintained by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and state-level Regional Transport Offices (RTOs). It helps individuals, employers, and businesses confirm that:

The licence is genuine

The holder is authorised to drive certain vehicle classes

The licence is still valid and not suspended or expired

Types of Driving Licences in India

Before verifying, it's useful to know the types of licences issued:

Learner’s Licence: A temporary permit for new drivers

Permanent Driving Licence: Issued after passing the driving test

Commercial Driving Licence: Required for heavy or transport vehicles

International Driving Permit: For those driving abroad

Each licence comes with unique details such as vehicle class, issue/expiry date, and a unique DL number.

Why Is Driving License Verification Important?

For businesses, especially those in logistics, fleet management, and gig economy platforms, driving license verification plays a critical role in ensuring road safety and regulatory compliance.

Here’s how it's used:

Background verification for driver hiring

KYC and underwriting in vehicle finance and insurance

Prevention of fraud using fake or duplicate licences

Checking licence status, such as suspensions or blacklisting

How OnGrid Supports Driving License Verification

Leading verification platforms like OnGrid offer fast, accurate, and API-integrated driving license verification services. With OnGrid, you can:

Instantly verify licence details

Detect fake or tampered licences

Confirm vehicle category authorization

Integrate verifications into digital onboarding flows

This not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances trust and safety.

Renewal and Validity

Driving licences in India are valid for 20 years or until the holder turns 50, whichever comes first. Verifying expiry status during background checks is crucial to avoid compliance issues or liability.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re an employer hiring a delivery driver or a lender disbursing a vehicle loan, driving license verification ensures you're dealing with genuine individuals. It’s a small but vital step in fraud prevention and public safety.🔗 Learn more in our complete guide here: Know Your Driving License – Complete Guide

[webscreen-scraping]

Web Screen Scraping API offers robust customizable solutions for extracting data from any website, supports advanced features like crawling and handles high concurrency for optimal performance. With its flexibility and efficiency, it is used for several data scraping requirements.

[iwebscrapingblogs]

Which API is Better – Screen Scraping or API Scraping?

In the realm of data extraction, two prominent methodologies vie for supremacy: screen scraping and API scraping. Each method possesses distinct advantages and drawbacks, catering to diverse needs and preferences. Delving into the nuances of these approaches can illuminate their strengths, aiding in the selection of the most suitable option for specific use cases.

Understanding Screen Scraping

Screen scraping involves extracting data from the visual elements displayed on a webpage. This method simulates human interaction with the interface, mimicking mouse clicks and keyboard inputs to retrieve desired information. Screen scraping is invaluable when dealing with websites lacking structured data or APIs, enabling access to content otherwise inaccessible.

Pros of Screen Scraping:

Versatility: Screen scraping can extract data from virtually any website, irrespective of the presence of APIs or structured formats. It grants access to a broader spectrum of data sources, making it indispensable in scenarios where API endpoints are unavailable.

Real-time Data Retrieval: Unlike APIs, which may have rate limits or delayed updates, screen scraping allows for real-time data extraction. This instantaneous access to information is advantageous for applications requiring up-to-the-minute data.

Cost-effectiveness: Screen scraping eliminates the need for developing or maintaining APIs, thereby reducing associated costs. This makes it an attractive option for projects operating on constrained budgets or when API integration is impractical.

Cons of Screen Scraping:

Brittleness: Screen scraping is inherently fragile, as it relies on parsing HTML structures prone to frequent changes. Even minor alterations to the website's layout or markup can disrupt scraping functionality, necessitating frequent maintenance and updates.

Legal and Ethical Concerns: Scraping data from websites without explicit permission may raise legal and ethical issues, particularly if it violates the site's terms of service or infringes upon intellectual property rights. Screen scraping must be conducted responsibly, adhering to relevant regulations and guidelines.

Exploring API Scraping

API scraping involves interacting with web APIs to retrieve structured data in a standardized format, such as JSON or XML. This method leverages endpoints provided by online platforms, facilitating seamless data extraction and integration into applications. API scraping offers reliability and efficiency, ideal for scenarios where consistent and structured data access is paramount.

Pros of API Scraping:

Reliability: APIs provide a stable and predictable means of accessing data, offering consistent endpoints and response formats. API scraping minimizes the risk of disruptions caused by website changes, ensuring dependable data retrieval over time.

Efficiency: With APIs, developers can specify precisely the information they require, streamlining the extraction process. By bypassing unnecessary webpage elements, API scraping reduces processing overhead and enhances efficiency, particularly for large-scale data extraction tasks.

Legitimacy: Unlike screen scraping, API scraping operates within the boundaries defined by web services, adhering to their terms of use. By obtaining data through sanctioned channels, API scraping mitigates legal risks and fosters positive relationships with data providers.

Cons of API Scraping:

Dependency on APIs: API scraping is contingent upon the availability and stability of web APIs. Changes to API endpoints or restrictions imposed by service providers can disrupt data extraction workflows, necessitating adjustments and potentially affecting application functionality.

Limitations on Data Access: Some APIs impose restrictions on the volume or frequency of data requests, limiting the scalability of scraping operations. Rate limits and access controls may hinder the extraction of large datasets or real-time updates, constraining the utility of API scraping in certain contexts.

Choosing the Right Approach

The decision between screen scraping and API scraping hinges on the specific requirements and constraints of each project. For scenarios demanding flexibility, real-time data access, and broad website compatibility, screen scraping emerges as the preferred choice. Conversely, applications prioritizing reliability, efficiency, and compliance with data provider policies are better served by API scraping.

In many cases, a hybrid approach that combines elements of both methodologies may offer the best of both worlds. By leveraging APIs for structured data retrieval whenever available and resorting to screen scraping as a fallback mechanism, developers can strike a balance between reliability and versatility.

Ultimately, the key to success lies in understanding the strengths and limitations of each approach and selecting the most appropriate strategy to fulfill the objectives of the project. Whether opting for the agility of screen scraping or the reliability of API scraping, informed decision-making is essential to unlock the full potential of data extraction endeavors.

We know Ao3 doesn't have an app and yet they keep popping app. That makes me feel that people want it and get exploited by the fake ones.

There isn't a plan to make one but, have a PWA been considered?

Hey chaoticneutralchocolate -

The main reason that apps pop up for AO3 is not because fandom folks want it, so much as app-making-folks want to monetize fans accessing fanfiction. All those apps? they have ads. that make the developer money.

Currently, we do not have an API (application program interface), which is needed to allow an app to interact with our servers. Developing such an interface and then the apps themselves (for the various mobile platforms) would take significant time and coder effort. It’s unlikely to happen while the Archive code is still rapidly changing, as this would require the apps to be updated for each change. You can see more details at our news post on the subject: https://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/3390 .

Even a browser-based app interface would be a tremendous amount of work that we do not have the staffing (or inclination) to establish or maintain.

In the meantime, you should be able to access the fully functional Archive using your device’s browser with our mobile stylesheet, and to download works to read offline with an e-reader app. You can also add a link to the site on your home screen ( https://www.howtogeek.com/196087/how-to-add-websites-to-the-home-screen-on-any-smartphone-or-tablet/ ) for quick access!

I should note that, due to fannish response, the app stores removed a number of unofficial apps in 2020. See the Fanlore page for more information: https://fanlore.org/wiki/AO3_App_Wars

(if you see an app out there claiming to be AO3 or using our logo, send a message to OTW Legal and let them know the name of the app so they can look into it!)

I hope this answers your question!

This isn't recent art butttt if I'm gonna throw my AUs out here it might as well be one that I've got in the back of my head

No Straight Roads x Armored Core 6! Is this just a way to mash two of my current favorite games together? Yes. Is it also because I love mech pilot AUs? Yes.

Mayday; Callsign "Junka", pilots Api, her chunky, hard hitting AC with a lot of close range combat, especially the pile bunker.

Zuke; Callsign "Bunka", pilots Laut, his more agile, medium range AC with pulse weapons and shield.

They stand currently for no corporation and aren't even willing to do freelance work for them. Instead, the two are targeting NSR, a primarly Coral based corporation hell-bent on controlling parts of Rubicon to expand their reach.

Little mini lore about them:

-Zuke used to work for NSR here alongside Eve, even if it wasn't for long. His current AC is not the one he worked with there. He fled NSR at some point due to some dire circumstances. He's an exceptional, professional pilot, but decides to keep it on the lay low. His suit still has his name tag on it. His AC still uses some NSR parts (which are all Coral based).

-Mayday used to pilot a Tetrapod MT before meeting Zuke. She did odd jobs and never really preferred any corp. Now, accepting offers for new parts for her AC from the other corps is a never due to "being hypocritical if she does that".

-They reside in the Grid 086 area, which Mayday is very familiar with. She might have dabbled in being a Doser (people who feed on Coral), but only because she aspires to be like her idol, Kural Fyra.

-They have different augmentations. Zuke's is unknown, but he got his while working with NSR. Mayday didn't have one prior to meeting Kliff (that's what she says), but hers is pretty shotty. The slight variation in their eyes are consequences of this.

-Mayday treats Ell.AI like it's her Tomodachi / child / pet. She spends hours and hours just playing little mini games with her on a dinky screen.

-They're dating. Def. Its a slow burn but they dating ♥️💥

This is their track if you even care I make the rules (Also like half the Trepang 2 soundtrack)

DXVK Tips and Troubleshooting: Launching The Sims 3 with DXVK

A big thank you to @heldhram for additional information from his recent DXVK/Reshade tutorial! ◀ Depending on how you launch the game to play may affect how DXVK is working.

During my usage and testing of DXVK, I noticed substantial varying of committed and working memory usage and fps rates while monitoring my game with Resource Monitor, especially when launching the game with CCMagic or S3MO compared to launching from TS3W.exe/TS3.exe.

It seems DXVK doesn't work properly - or even at all - when the game is launched with CCM/S3MO instead of TS3W.exe/TS3.exe. I don't know if this is also the case using other launchers from EA/Steam/LD and misc launchers, but it might explain why some players using DXVK don't see any improvement using it.

DXVK injects itself into the game exe, so perhaps using launchers bypasses the injection. From extensive testing, I'm inclined to think this is the case.

Someone recently asked me how do we know DXVK is really working. A very good question! lol. I thought as long as the cache showed up in the bin folder it was working, but that was no guarantee it was injected every single time at startup. Until I saw Heldhram's excellent guide to using DXVK with Reshade DX9, I relied on my gaming instincts and dodgy eyesight to determine if it was. 🤭

Using the environment variable Heldhram referred to in his guide, a DXVK Hud is added to the upper left hand corner of your game screen to show it's injected and working, showing the DXVK version, the graphics card version and driver and fps.

This led me to look further into this and was happy to see that you could add an additional line to the DXVK config file to show this and other relevant information on the HUD such as DXVK version, fps, memory usage, gpu driver and more. So if you want to make sure that DXVK is actually injected, on the config file, add the info starting with:

dxvk.hud =

After '=', add what you want to see. So 'version' (without quotes) shows the DXVK version. dxvk.hud = version

You could just add the fps by adding 'fps' instead of 'version' if you want.

The DXVK Github page lists all the information you could add to the HUD. It accepts a comma-separated list for multiple options:

devinfo: Displays the name of the GPU and the driver version.

fps: Shows the current frame rate.

frametimes: Shows a frame time graph.

submissions: Shows the number of command buffers submitted per frame.

drawcalls: Shows the number of draw calls and render passes per frame.

pipelines: Shows the total number of graphics and compute pipelines.

descriptors: Shows the number of descriptor pools and descriptor sets.

memory: Shows the amount of device memory allocated and used.

allocations: Shows detailed memory chunk suballocation info.

gpuload: Shows estimated GPU load. May be inaccurate.

version: Shows DXVK version.

api: Shows the D3D feature level used by the application.

cs: Shows worker thread statistics.

compiler: Shows shader compiler activity

samplers: Shows the current number of sampler pairs used [D3D9 Only]

ffshaders: Shows the current number of shaders generated from fixed function state [D3D9 Only]

swvp: Shows whether or not the device is running in software vertex processing mode [D3D9 Only]

scale=x: Scales the HUD by a factor of x (e.g. 1.5)

opacity=y: Adjusts the HUD opacity by a factor of y (e.g. 0.5, 1.0 being fully opaque).

Additionally, DXVK_HUD=1 has the same effect as DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps, and DXVK_HUD=full enables all available HUD elements.

desiree-uk notes: The site is for the latest version of DXVK, so it shows the line typed as 'DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps' with underscore and no spaces, but this didn't work for me. If it also doesn't work for you, try it in lowercase like this: dxvk.hud = version Make sure there is a space before and after the '=' If adding multiple HUD options, seperate them by a comma such as: dxvk.hud = fps,memory,api,version

The page also shows some other useful information regarding DXVK and it's cache file, it's worth a read. (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk)

My config file previously showed the DXVK version but I changed it to only show fps. Whatever it shows, it's telling you DXVK is working! DXVK version:

DXVK FPS:

The HUD is quite noticeable, but it's not too obstructive if you keep the info small. It's only when you enable the full HUD using this line: dxvk.hud = full you'll see it takes up practically half the screen! 😄 Whatever is shown, you can still interact with the screen and sims queue.

So while testing this out I noticed that the HUD wasn't showing up on the screen when launching the game via CCM and S3MO but would always show when clicking TS3W.exe. The results were consistent, with DXVK showing that it was running via TS3W.exe, the commited memory was low and steady, the fps didn't drop and there was no lag or stuttereing. I could spend longer in CAS and in game altogether, longer in my older larger save games and the RAM didn't spike as much when saving the game. Launching via CCM/S3MO, the results were sporadic, very high RAM spikes, stuttering and fps rates jumping up and down. There wasn't much difference from DXVK not being installed at all in my opinion.

You can test this out yourself, first with whatever launcher you use to start your game and then without it, clicking TS3.exe or TS3W.exe, making sure the game is running as admin. See if the HUD shows up or not and keep an eye on the memory usage with Resource Monitor running and you'll see the difference. You can delete the line from the config if you really can't stand the sight of it, but you can be sure DXVK is working when you launch the game straight from it's exe and you see smooth, steady memory usage as you play. Give it a try and add in the comments if it works for you or not and which launcher you use! 😊 Other DXVK information:

Too big to care

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in BOSTON with Randall "XKCD" Munroe (Apr 11), then PROVIDENCE (Apr 12), and beyond!

Remember the first time you used Google search? It was like magic. After years of progressively worsening search quality from Altavista and Yahoo, Google was literally stunning, a gateway to the very best things on the internet.

Today, Google has a 90% search market-share. They got it the hard way: they cheated. Google spends tens of billions of dollars on payola in order to ensure that they are the default search engine behind every search box you encounter on every device, every service and every website:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/03/not-feeling-lucky/#fundamental-laws-of-economics

Not coincidentally, Google's search is getting progressively, monotonically worse. It is a cesspool of botshit, spam, scams, and nonsense. Important resources that I never bothered to bookmark because I could find them with a quick Google search no longer show up in the first ten screens of results:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/21/im-feeling-unlucky/#not-up-to-the-task

Even after all that payola, Google is still absurdly profitable. They have so much money, they were able to do a $80 billion stock buyback. Just a few months later, Google fired 12,000 skilled technical workers. Essentially, Google is saying that they don't need to spend money on quality, because we're all locked into using Google search. It's cheaper to buy the default search box everywhere in the world than it is to make a product that is so good that even if we tried another search engine, we'd still prefer Google.

This is enshittification. Google is shifting value away from end users (searchers) and business customers (advertisers, publishers and merchants) to itself:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/05/the-map-is-not-the-territory/#apor-locksmith

And here's the thing: there are search engines out there that are so good that if you just try them, you'll get that same feeling you got the first time you tried Google.

When I was in Tucson last month on my book-tour for my new novel The Bezzle, I crashed with my pals Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden. I've know them since I was a teenager (Patrick is my editor).

We were sitting in his living room on our laptops – just like old times! – and Patrick asked me if I'd tried Kagi, a new search-engine.

Teresa chimed in, extolling the advanced search features, the "lenses" that surfaced specific kinds of resources on the web.

I hadn't even heard of Kagi, but the Nielsen Haydens are among the most effective researchers I know – both in their professional editorial lives and in their many obsessive hobbies. If it was good enough for them…

I tried it. It was magic.

No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated pages of spam in Google results? Fucking pristine on Kagi – the right answers, over and over again.

That was before I started playing with Kagi's lenses and other bells and whistles, which elevated the search experience from "magic" to sorcerous.

The catch is that Kagi costs money – after 100 queries, they want you to cough up $10/month ($14 for a couple or $20 for a family with up to six accounts, and some kid-specific features):

https://kagi.com/settings?p=billing_plan&plan=family

I immediately bought a family plan. I've been using it for a month. I've basically stopped using Google search altogether.

Kagi just let me get a lot more done, and I assumed that they were some kind of wildly capitalized startup that was running their own crawl and and their own data-centers. But this morning, I read Jason Koebler's 404 Media report on his own experiences using it:

https://www.404media.co/friendship-ended-with-google-now-kagi-is-my-best-friend/

Koebler's piece contained a key detail that I'd somehow missed:

When you search on Kagi, the service makes a series of “anonymized API calls to traditional search indexes like Google, Yandex, Mojeek, and Brave,” as well as a handful of other specialized search engines, Wikimedia Commons, Flickr, etc. Kagi then combines this with its own web index and news index (for news searches) to build the results pages that you see. So, essentially, you are getting some mix of Google search results combined with results from other indexes.

In other words: Kagi is a heavily customized, anonymized front-end to Google.

The implications of this are stunning. It means that Google's enshittified search-results are a choice. Those ad-strewn, sub-Altavista, spam-drowned search pages are a feature, not a bug. Google prefers those results to Kagi, because Google makes more money out of shit than they would out of delivering a good product:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24117976/best-printer-2024-home-use-office-use-labels-school-homework

No wonder Google spends a whole-ass Twitter every year to make sure you never try a rival search engine. Bottom line: they ran the numbers and figured out their most profitable course of action is to enshittify their flagship product and bribe their "competitors" like Apple and Samsung so that you never try another search engine and have another one of those magic moments that sent all those Jeeves-askin' Yahooers to Google a quarter-century ago.

One of my favorite TV comedy bits is Lily Tomlin as Ernestine the AT&T operator; Tomlin would do these pitches for the Bell System and end every ad with "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company":

https://snltranscripts.jt.org/76/76aphonecompany.phtml

Speaking of TV comedy: this week saw FTC chair Lina Khan appear on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It was amazing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaDTiWaYfcM

The coverage of Khan's appearance has focused on Stewart's revelation that when he was doing a show on Apple TV, the company prohibited him from interviewing her (presumably because of her hostility to tech monopolies):

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/apple-got-caught-censoring-its-own

But for me, the big moment came when Khan described tech monopolists as "too big to care."

What a phrase!

Since the subprime crisis, we're all familiar with businesses being "too big to fail" and "too big to jail." But "too big to care?" Oof, that got me right in the feels.

Because that's what it feels like to use enshittified Google. That's what it feels like to discover that Kagi – the good search engine – is mostly Google with the weights adjusted to serve users, not shareholders.

Google used to care. They cared because they were worried about competitors and regulators. They cared because their workers made them care:

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/4/4/18295933/google-cancels-ai-ethics-board

Google doesn't care anymore. They don't have to. They're the search company.

So, you want to watch more international films

inspired by @drinkfantasy

How do you find them?

There are many ways to discover international cinema.

Browse the categories of free or premium streaming services. Whether it's Hulu/Netflix/Max or Tubi/Kanopy you will find categories like "Bollywood" "International" "API Voices" or you can sort by language/country

Browse lists, keywords or databases on letterboxd, IMDb, Wikipedia or anywhere else you can get information about films.

Ask friends, acquaintances, mutuals etc for recommendations

You can look at the list of international Oscar winning films or other film prizes and festivals (like Cannnes, Berlinale, Venice, tiff etc)

If your town has an indie cinema and/or a university there's a high chance that international films will be screened throughout the year

If this is all a little overwhelming, I'm curating several lists on letterboxd. shameless self advertisement:

Fun/Serious are entirely based on films that I have personally watched and vouch for, while Horror/Queer contain films that are still on my watchlist or that were recommended by others.

Where do you watch them?

Premium Services

Netflix

Hulu

HBO Max

Amazon Prime

Probably all the others too

Free Services

Kanopy (this is my absolute favorite, requires a library card)

Tubi

Pluto

Roku TV

Viki Rakuten (some free some premium options)

IQIYI (some free some premium options)

Arte (if you're in Europe or have a VPN)

RTVE (if you're in Spain or have a VPN)

YouTube Free with Ads

biblio+ (requires a library card)

"Free" Services

YouTube

Dailymotion

Vimeo

Ok (dot) ru

BiliBili (May require a VPN)

effed up movies (for horror films)

several other websites that show up when you google things like "film name watch for free online" as long as you're careful

How do you approach them?

There is no right or wrong way to do this. You can watch subtitled or dubbed films. You can try to google the most famous film, actor or director from a country and try to watch that first. You can try to find some mainstream romcom or any other genre you might already enjoy. You can get obsessed with a random actor or director and just go through their entire work. You can start by checking out countries you're already interested in or know something about or you pick a random one. You could even do it alphabetically if that's more fun for you. You can do one film per country or do a deep dive into one country before moving on.

The most important thing is that you're having fun.
