Almirante Brown is a residential and logistics partido in the southern suburbs: Adrogué, Burzaco, Glew, Longchamps and Rafael Calzada are connected by Camino de Cintura, Route 210 (Espora avenue) and Hipólito Yrigoyen avenue, with warehouses and industrial parks in Burzaco and transit traffic towards San Vicente and Cañuelas. Municipal fines are issued by the partido on avenues and camera-equipped traffic lights; provincial ones coexist on the same plates.

Context and authority

The framework is the National Traffic Law 24.449, which Buenos Aires adheres to: fixed units, two-year limitation for minor offences and five for serious ones. The municipal misdemeanour court rules on fines issued within the partido; route fines and those of the provincial authority are explained in the Buenos Aires article.

The municipal misdemeanour court rules on fines issued within the partido: speeding and red lights on Espora avenue and on Camino de Cintura within the town limits, lanes and manoeuvres at the approaches to the Burzaco warehouses and parking in downtown Adrogué. A defence is filed with the court within the period set by the notice.

What the API returns for this jurisdiction

In Almirante Brown the API queries the Almirante Brown municipal misdemeanour court and, in the same lookup, the other integrated sources of Buenos Aires; it returns each fine with the authority that issued it:

  • Authority and fine number exactly as each court publishes them.
  • Date, location when reported and description of the infraction.
  • Amount, status and payment conditions published by that court.
  • Downloadable payment slip when one exists.
  • Coverage per source and partial-result flag.

How to check a plate in Almirante Brown

Manual verification starts at the Almirante Brown municipal portal, continues through the provincial circuit of the Buenos Aires article and ends at the ANSV national lookup. That round, repeated for every plate, is what the API replaces: one lookup per plate across the integrated sources, with the result per source so you know what was verified.

What to watch if you run a fleet in Almirante Brown

A logistics fleet with a warehouse in Burzaco goes in and out along Camino de Cintura and Espora avenue several times a day, and every camera on the way issues against the plate, not the driver; looking up each plate at month end, with the per-source result stored, assigns the fine to the right route and covers the defence in time.

For a service company with technicians covering Adrogué, Glew and Longchamps, the fines are for red lights and speeding on residential avenues, cheap one by one but frequent; a monthly plate lookup avoids discovering them all at once when renewing the technical inspection.

How to integrate

The integration starts with one POST per plate, with the jurisdiction as an optional filter. Since courts answer at their own pace, the API accepts the job and delivers the result by status or webhook; store the idempotency key before sending, as the asynchronous APIs guide describes. The API page details access.

Limits and considerations

  • Fines on Camino de Cintura outside the town limits and on Route 210 may be provincial, not municipal; the response names the authority of each.
  • Fixed-unit amounts are converted at the value current at the source; the final amount is set by the authority at the time of payment.
  • A source that does not answer is reported as such, never as an absence of infractions.
  • The API neither pays fines nor handles defences; it delivers information to decide.
