Car park API

Datasets
1

The Car Park API provides real time occupancy status of selected car parks. This initial release provides results for Opal Park&Ride car parks. Opal Park&Ride is a trial designed to free-up more spaces at commuter car parks for those who want to travel on public transport. The data feed contains the occupancy information by type in real time.

Hi all,

Please note that the number of spots provided in the table are for quick reference. Please do not hard code these figures as they may change from time to time. You can get the number of spots for each car park in the feed.

Hi all, I have noticed that Bella Vista metro station is showing full for few days now, I have visited the station and it’s actually showing FULL on the sign but the parking has spots, might not be API issue but thought to post here to see if there us anyone looking into that?

Thanks,

Hi - thank you for all you’re doing with this API, it’s really difficult to find quality sources of real-time off-street parking data like yours.

I was wondering if there was an option to get hold of historical data for a range of dates/facilities at a time as opposed to making a request for each carpark/day combination.

I’m trying to get hold of 100 days of data (across all carparks). This happens automatically whenever my pipeline detects that there isn’t enough data currently available for Sydney (and then it gets persisted for future use). I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to tell people using my project that the first time they run it, it would take 5 hours (each request takes around 15s for me).

Hi @xifong,

Thanks for your feedback.

One of the considerations when designing this API is timeout issue due to the amount of data.
Some car parks are sending the feed to us in much higher frequency as compared to the rest and this results in huge amount of data being stored for those car parks.

Regards,
Terence
