Can I park here

Overview

The API utilizes the blocks api. It simplifies some prequisites and returns the nearest segment at a given point.

Disclaimer

This API aims to give the end user a simple and easy to understand message. We focus on alerting the user when parking is not allowed, not on giving them exhaustive information about the parking rules.

The user should always check signs and local regulations
We check for parking availability for the next 60 minutes, but the user’s requirements may be different
To keep the message concise, we disregard parking rules that involve permits or special events
Accuracy of this API depends on the last GPS location, which may not reflect the position where the car parked

A typical workflow would be:

Can I park here API
- Request /caniparkhere/v1 filtered by lat long.
- Receive {segment} data.
Client – Filter through segment data for info regarding particular segment and segments nearby.
