Streetline offers APIs with parking data to raise revenues, ease parking stress. Registration opens for Apigee's "I Love APIs" conference September 8-10. Plus: Beacon API in Chrome Canary, and Bitcoin API provider reviews.
Win the Parking Wars with Streetline's APIs
Streetline has built the ParkerData API, now in beta, is available in 40 locations, including San Carlos, CA. It offers data to mobile and Web apps and navigation systems in cars. The company also has the ParkSight 2.0 API aimed at parking providers to manage resources.
As Kathleen Hickey reports in GCN, smart parking can use the data to raise revenue:
Streetline’s information on parking space availability is garnered from a network of ultra-low power sensors embedded in the pavement of parking spaces in 24,000 parking lots and garages in more than 30 cities. Streetline detects the presence of a vehicle and relays the information to a number of applications, including Parker, the company’s mobile parking guidance app, which is available on iOS and Android.
The API applications are promising--integrating it into a coffee shop app or movie theater app could guide users to parking as part of their retail experience. The hunt for parking could be over. The REST ParkerData Availability API delivers JSON or XML. Registration is open.
