DGT Driving Test Questions Scraper

Pull the official Spanish DGT driving-theory exam ("test DGT / examen teórico") as clean, structured data — question text, every answer option with the correct one flagged, the official road-sign photo, license category, and language for each question. Built for driving-school and e-learning developers, test-prep and quiz-app builders, and ed-tech researchers who need the complete official DGT question bank without hand-copying thousands of questions.

Why This Scraper?

• Nine official DGT license categories — car (B), moped (AM), motorcycle (A1 y A2), car-with-trailer (BE), medium truck (C1 / C1E), truck (C), truck-and-bus-with-trailer (CE y DE), and bus (D). Every question is tagged with the exact DGT category label it came from.
• All eight official exam languages — the same eight the DGT publishes: Spanish, Catalan, Valencian, Galician, Basque, German, English, and French. Pull an English or German bank as easily as the Spanish one.
• The correct answer flagged on every single question — each of the ~3 options arrives as {text, isCorrect}, alongside a ready-to-use correctAnswer string. No answer keys to reconcile by hand.
• The official road-sign or scenario photo per illustrated question — imageUrl points at the real DGT question image (traffic signs, junction diagrams, dashboard warning lights), not a stock placeholder.
• The complete official question pool for each category and language, de-duplicated — collect a single 30-question exam or exhaust the full available pool for a category-language pair (on the order of dozens to ~100 unique questions); results are merged and de-duplicated so you never store the same question twice.
• A stable per-question code — every illustrated question carries a questionCode (e.g. MT45390) derived from its official image, giving you a durable key to join, deduplicate, or track questions across runs and languages.
• Multi-category runs in one pass — request several license classes at once and get a single merged dataset, with every row self-describing its permitType and language.
• Sourced straight from the official DGT theory exam — the same questions used in the real Dirección General de Tráfico examen teórico, not a third-party rewrite or paraphrase.

Getting Started

Simplest Run (Defaults)

An empty input collects one standard 30-question exam for permit B in Spanish:

{}

Single Category in English

Pull a larger English-language bank for car-license learners:

{
    "permitTypes": ["B"],
    "language": "en",
    "maxQuestions": 60
}

Multi-Category Full Bank

Collect the entire available pool for several license classes in one run:

{
    "permitTypes": ["B", "AM", "C", "D"],
    "language": "es",
    "maxQuestions": 0
}

Input Reference

What to Collect

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
permitTypes	array	["B"]	One or more license categories to collect. Options: B (Car / passenger vehicle), AM (Moped), A1 y A2 (Motorcycle, light & medium), BE (Car with trailer), C1 97 (Medium truck), C1E 97 (Medium truck with trailer), C (Truck / lorry), CE y DE (Truck & bus with trailer), D (Bus / coach). Each category is collected separately and merged, with every question tagged by its category.
language	select	"es"	Language the questions and answers are returned in. Options: Spanish (Español), Catalan (Català), Valencian (Valencià), Galician (Galego), Basque (Euskara), German (Deutsch), English, French (Français).

Results

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxQuestions	integer	30	How many unique questions to collect per license category. 30 equals one standard exam; higher values pull additional exams and merge them into a larger de-duplicated bank. Set to 0 to keep going until the category's available pool is exhausted — in practice typically around a hundred unique questions per language, well under the 1,000 safety ceiling (which is rarely reached). Very high values mainly make the run take longer for little extra data.

Output

Each row is one exam question. Here's a representative Spanish result:

{
    "questionText": "¿A qué distancia debe colocar los dispositivos de preseñalización de peligro?",
    "answers": [
        { "text": "A 50 metros como mínimo, y de forma que sean visibles a 100 metros.", "isCorrect": true },
        { "text": "A 20 metros, y de forma que sean visibles a 50 metros.", "isCorrect": false },
        { "text": "No es obligatorio colocarlos en vías urbanas.", "isCorrect": false }
    ],
    "correctAnswer": "A 50 metros como mínimo, y de forma que sean visibles a 100 metros.",
    "correctAnswerIndex": 0,
    "optionCount": 3,
    "imageUrl": "https://sedeweb.dgt.gob.es/EXAM/WEB_AUTO9/IMAGENES/MT45390.jpg",
    "permitType": "B",
    "permitTypeName": "Car / passenger vehicle",
    "language": "es",
    "questionCode": "MT45390"
}

Field	Type	Description
questionText	string	The full text of the exam question.
answers	object[]	Every answer option as {text, isCorrect} — typically three options, with the correct one flagged true.
correctAnswer	string	The text of the correct option, for quick lookup.
correctAnswerIndex	integer | null	Zero-based position of the correct option within answers; null if the correct option couldn't be determined.
optionCount	integer	Number of answer options for the question (typically 3).
imageUrl	string | null	The official DGT question image (road sign or scenario photo); null when the question has no image.
permitType	string	The license category the question belongs to (e.g. B, AM, CE y DE).
permitTypeName	string	Human-readable name of the license category (e.g. Car / passenger vehicle, Moped (ciclomotor)).
language	string	The language code the question was collected in (es, en, ca, …).
questionCode	string | null	Stable identifier derived from the question's image, used for de-duplication; null for text-only questions.

Tips for Best Results

• maxQuestions: 0 exhausts the available pool. It keeps pulling fresh exams until no new questions appear — usually on the order of a hundred unique questions per category-language pair. The default of 30 (one full exam) is plenty for most previews; pushing the value very high mainly makes the run take longer for little extra data.
• Run several languages to build a parallel multilingual bank. questionCode stays constant across languages, so you can join the English and Spanish versions of the same question side by side.
• Start small to preview the format. Set maxQuestions to 5–10 on your first run to confirm the structure, then scale up.
• Combine categories in one run. Pass multiple permitTypes at once — each is collected separately and merged, with every row tagged by permitType.
• Expect smaller pools for niche categories. Moped (AM) and specialist truck/bus classes have fewer unique questions than car (B), so a high maxQuestions on those simply returns the full available pool.
• Use questionCode as your primary key. It deduplicates illustrated questions reliably; text-only questions fall back to their question text.
• Auto-grade in one step. Pair correctAnswer with the answers array to score quiz attempts or generate flashcards without a separate answer key.
