Parking Intelligence API
Truck parking data for your platform
Live occupancy, 15-hour forecasts, and route-based recommendations for 50,000+ European truck parking areas — right inside your system.
Sandbox access within 24 hours
The starting point
Your customers lose time to a data gap that can be closed
Truck parking remains one of the least integrated data streams in European logistics software. Routes, ETAs, and vehicle telematics are digitized — but the question ‚Where can my driver safely park tonight?' still lacks a reliable answer.
Detours and search times
Multiple hours per truck per week that your customers experience as inefficiency.
Driving time violations
Occupied rest areas are recognized too late — with legal and financial consequences.
Decisions without data
Dispatchers plan with static lists or gut feeling, not real-time availability.
The Parking Intelligence API closes this gap — as a data stream for your existing platform.
The product
The data your platform needs
Six data streams, combined through a single API. From simple radius search to route-based recommendations with driving-time awareness.
Live occupancy
Updated by the second through 85,000 active drivers and live feeds from data partners such as Toll Collect.
15-hour forecast
Occupancy forecast for the next 15 hours, recalculated every 15 minutes from historical patterns since 2020.
Static parking data
Position, address, category, capacity and 40+ amenities per location — from security to sanitation to services.
Community reviews
Reviews and ratings from active truck drivers, continuously moderated and updated.
Route context
Matching parking areas along a planned route, filtered by truck requirements and preferences.
Driving-time awareness
Recommendations that factor in remaining driving time — compliance-friendly, without extra logic in your system.

Frequently asked questions
In which countries is parking data available?
We cover 44 countries in Europe, with the densest data network in DE, AT, CH, BeNeLux, FR, IT, PL and Scandinavia.
How does the technical integration work?
Through six REST endpoints with JSON response and OAuth 2.0. Typical integration time is 3-5 business days. Full specification in our documentation.
Is there sandbox access?
Yes. On request we provide a sandbox key with sample data and a limited request quota — usually within 24 hours.
How does billing work?
Per API request, monthly. We discuss concrete conditions personally, depending on your expected volume and use case.
What sets you apart from OpenStreetMap or other databases?
OpenStreetMap provides static position data. We additionally provide live occupancy, a 15-hour forecast, community reviews — and keep every parking area actively maintained through 85,000 monthly drivers plus manual verification.
How quickly does the data update?
Live occupancy updates by the second with new community votes or live feeds. The 15-hour forecast is recalculated every 15 minutes.
Where is the data hosted and what about GDPR?
All data is stored in the EU (Germany). Personal community data is anonymised before processing. Details in our privacy policy.
