Arrive API v4
The Arrive API is organized around REST. Our API has resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.
You can view an API Changelog here.
Please contact dev@arrive.com with any questions or concerns.
Introduction
Base URL
The API is available at https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/. A sandbox API is also available for testing at https://api-sandbox.parkwhiz.com/v4/.
Authentication
Overview
Many resources on the Arrive API are only accessible if the requester has proper authorization. The way to access endpoints that require authentication is to use an OAuth2 access token as an authorization header (e.g. Authorization Bearer OAUTH_TOKEN). The POST /oauth/token endpoint can be used to issue a token as documented in the grant flows below.
Grant Flows
There are different types of "grant flows" that can be followed when requesting a token. Each one has a different use case and target user, so care should be taken to ensure the right grant flow method is used for the right situation. These methods are:
| Grant Flow Name | grant_type parameter value |
Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Client credentials | grant_type=client_credentials |
Used by an app or trusted partner when user specific information doesn't need to be retrieved. This is most appropriate for requests not associated with user data like GET /quotes. To access or modify user data (e.g. GET /bookings, GET /accounts/me) you must use a password grant or authorization code grant. |
| Public token | n/a |
Used by an app to obtain a client credentials token in cases where embedding your client secret is not desirable (e.g. on a mobile app). Your access token will be limited in the same ways a regular client credentials token is. NOTE: your partner credentials will need permission in order to use this endpoint. |
| Password Verification Code |
grant_type=password |
Used when user information is known and the client credentials need to be concealed, such as in a client side web application, and specific user information needs to be accessed or modified. |
| Authorization code | grant_type=authorization_code |
Used by an app or a trusted partner when they need to access or modify user specific information on behalf of a user but do not have access to the user's information to use a password grant. |
| Refresh token | grant_type=refresh_token |
Used to refresh a token to prevent expiry. Cannot be used to regenerate a token generated from the client credentials flow. |
Further information about each of these grant flows are listed in their respective sections:
Generating A Token with Client Credentials
An Arrive-authorized client application can request a token for a user by posting to /oauth/token with the query or body parameter grant_type=client_credentials. The Arrive-issued client_id and client_secret must be specified as query parameters, body parameters, or in an Authorization: HTTP Basic Auth header.
For example:
POST /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID_1234&client_secret=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_SECRET_1234&scope=publicwhich will yield a response like:
{
"access_token": "new_token_12345",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"scope": "public",
"created_at": 1486143527
}expires_ingives the number of seconds until the token expires (tokens expire a year after they are granted).scopethe authorization scope given to this token. See the scope section.created_atwhen the token was created as a UNIX timestamp.
Use of this token via Authorization: Bearer OAUTH_TOKEN will uniquely and securely identify the client account. Note that the client credentials token is inherently limited in what it can do with respect to user accounts. The token is not associated with a user so GET /accounts/me will not retrieve any user information. Likewise, user information in general cannot be modified or retrieved by this token. Requests not associated with user information like GET /quotes are appropriate for this token.
Generating A Public Token
In cases where you do not wish to provide the client secret (e.g. in a mobile app), you can obtain a public client credentials token by posting to the /oauth/public_token endpoint. This token will behave in much the same way a regular client credentials token does except it is limited to the mobile and public scopes. If the scope parameter is not explicitly set, public will be assumed. NOTE: your partner credentials will need permission in order to use this endpoint.
For example:
POST /oauth/public_token?client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID_1234&scope=publicwhich will yield a response identical to the client credentials token:
{
"access_token": "new_token_12345",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"scope": "public",
"created_at": 1486143527
}Generating A Token With Password Grant Type
Generating a token via client credentials is not recommended for all circumstances. For example, in a client-side web application where requests are exposed to the user, using grant_type=client_credentials would be insecure. Additionally, as stated in the client credentials section, the token generated from that flow cannot access or modify user data.
Another way to generate a token is through using grant_type=password which uses parameters based on the attributes of the user who's being authenticated. This grant flow allows the holder of the token to access and modify the user information associated with the customer_email and customer_password used in the request.
An example request:
POST oauth/token?grant_type=password&scope=public&customer_email=you@yourdomain.com&customer_password=yourSecurePasswordwith response:
{
"access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_1234",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_1234",
"scope": "public",
"created_at": 1486157828
}Generating A Token With Password Grant Type For Sign In By Phone
This section extends the regular grant_type=password flow with authenticating the user by an account verification code. Account verification codes can be obtained using a previously verified phone number.
Generate token through using grant_type=password which uses parameters based on the attributes of the user who's being authenticated. This grant flow allows the holder of the token to access and modify the user information associated with the country_code, phone_number, and verification_code used in the request. account_verification_code is a one time use access code that can be requested by hitting POST /account_verification_codes endpoint.
Note: If the country_code parameter is not sent 1 is assumed.
An example request:
POST oauth/token?grant_type=password&scope=public&country_code=1&phone_number=1234567890&verification_code=123456with response:
{
"access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_1234",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_1234",
"scope": "public",
"created_at": 1486157828
}Generating A User Authorization Token With Authorization Code Grant Type
A user authorization token is required for endpoints that access user information (e.g. GET /bookings). The password grant flow can generate a token with this level of clearance, however, in some cases an app or a trusted partner may need to access or modify information on behalf of a user when the information needed to use the password grant flow is not available. For this use case, the authorization code grant flow is recommended, that is, acquiring a token with the grant_type parameter set to authorization_code.
In order to use the authorization_code grant flow, the requester first must obtain a code from the oauth/authorize endpoint. The requests query or body parameters must contain an Arrive-issued client_id and client_secret, response_type=code, the client's redirect_uri, a scope (e.g. scope=partner) and either a customer_email or customer_id to identify the customer for whom authorization is being requested. The client_id and client_secret values can also be provided via an Authorization: HTTP Basic Auth header.
For example:
POST /oauth/authorize?response_type=code&customer_email=dev@arrive.com&redirect_uri=http://yoursite.com/oauth/auth_code&client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_SECRET&scope=partnerOn successful acquisition of the authorization code, the client will be redirected to the specified redirect_uri, with the authorization code specified by the code query parameter. This authorization code is valid for 30 minutes.
The user authorization token can then be acquired by posting to /oauth/token with the query or body parameters grant_type=authorization_code, the client redirect as redirect_uri, and the previously acquired authorization code as code. The Arrive-issued client_id and client_secret must be specified as query parameters, body parameters, or in an Authorization: HTTP Basic Auth header.
An example token request using the authorization code:
POST /oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_SECRET&code=AN_AUTHORIZATION_CODE_1234&redirect_uri=https://api.parkwhiz.com/v3/oauth/auth_code&scope=internalwhich will yield the response:
{
"access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_1234",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN",
"scope": "internal",
"created_at": 1486404380
}On successful token generation, you will be supplied with your new access_token, the token_type (bearer), scope of the token's permissions for the requested user, token creation time (created_at) as UNIX timestamp, and number of seconds until token expiration (expires_in). The default expiration time is 1 year.
Use of this token via Authorization: Bearer OAUTH_TOKEN will uniquely and securely identify the user account that was specified in the customer_email or customer_id field in the /oauth/authorize request. So, for example, a request GET /accounts/me will yield a response object of the user specified with customer_email or customer_id.
Refresh Token Grant Flow
The refresh token grant flow can be used to renew tokens before they expire without having to redo the flow used to originally acquire the token. For example, the authorization code grant flow yields a refresh_token as part of its response upon success. To regenerate a new token with the same permissions using the refresh token:
POST /oauth/token?grant_type=refresh_token&client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_SECRET&refresh_token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKENThe request will return a new access_token and a new refresh_token which can be used to regenerate another token using the refresh token grant flow.
{
"access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN",
"scope": "internal",
"created_at": 1486409329
}Note that the refresh token grant flow cannot be used to refresh a token generated from the client credentials grant flow.
None
Many of the endpoints in the Arrive API may be used without authenticating. In general, resources are public if they are not related to a specific account and do not require a scope. Using the API without a token is useful for experimentation. Your rate limit will be significantly lower, and endpoints requiring authorization will return a 401.
If you are giving the API more than a cursory glance, consider using Client Credentials OAuth Token instead.
Scopes
Scopes provide an additional level of control to restrict access to specific resources for access tokens. Using scopes lets you request a token allowing you full access to your user data: scope=partner for use on your servers and restrict access granted to public tokens by using scope=public.
Scopes are also used to verify a request has sufficient permission to access a requested resource. Requests attempting to access data restricted by the data license must have the data scope attached to them.
The scope parameter defines what resources the returned authorization token will have access to. Currently the following scopes are supported: internal, mobile, partner and public where public is the default scope if no value is provided. Scopes will have different api resources they can or cannot access. To determine whether a scope has access to a particular endpoint check the endpoints section.
Some partners may only have the partner and public scopes available to them. If they request a scope that is not granted to them, they will receive an error message.
To declare a scope, add as a parameter to the POST /oauth/authorize or the POST /oauth/token request. Example:
POST /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=1234abcde&client_secret=abcd1234&scope=internalwill return:
{
"access_token": "new_token_12345",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"scope": "internal",
"created_at": 1486143527
}```
...
More than one scope can be requested when requesting an access token by separating the requested scopes with spaces.
`Request:`
```http
POST /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID_1234&client_secret=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_SECRET_1234&scope=partner publicResponse:
{
"access_token": "88e2c51afc22e71c0da6d5bf29c77d7138fb40c46460c8fa94013cdfff24b974",
"token_type": "bearer",
"expires_in": 31557600,
"refresh_token": "c03c4d7c860dbfc980f43b5bbc0f38bbe27a4d3bf4732bfe919efcbf2bc0ca65",
"scope": "partner public",
"created_at": 1499801066
}If an invalid scope, or a scope that you do not have access to, has been requested you will receive an error.
Request:
POST /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_ID_1234&client_secret=ASSIGNED_CLIENT_SECRET_1234&scope=everything publicResponse:
{
"error": "invalid_scope",
"error_description": "The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed."
}Sorting
Available sortable params are documented per endpoint. You can sort by a parameter by specifying the parameter and including which way you would like to sort,asc or desc. For example, you can sort venues by distance, closest first, with this parameter:
?sort=distance:ascWe try to supply sane defaults so you don't have to include asc or desc everywhere. For example, sorting by only name will sort from a-z by default. Sorting by distance will return the closest results first. It would look like this:
?sort=nameMultiple sorting parameters can be supplied and separated with with spaces. It will look similar to:
?sort=name:desc distancewhich will sort by name in descending order, followed by distance in ascending order.
Stats
As a utility, the API provides a stats parameter that can perform simple calculations on the results returned by the endpoint calls. For now, the only stat available is count.
To get the count of the number of objects returned from an api call, use result_format=stats&fields=stats:count. For example, to get the number of venues near Chicago, perform:
POST /venues?&q=coordinates:41.881943,-87.630976&result_format=stats&fields=countwhich would return a response like:
{
"count": 5903
}The count should return the total number of objects returned by the database and pagination will not affect the results.
Searching
A common pattern used on several endpoints allows you to search by one of several types. These types are typically mutually exclusive. When retrieving price quotes for example, you can specify your destination with a variety of search types such as a geographic coordinate, a venue ID, an event ID or a set of geographic bounds.
These searches take a query string parameter q, which is formatted as a space-separated list of query types and values. It will look similar to:
?q=coordinates:41.878,-87.626 distance:5In the above example, you are querying within 5 miles of downtown Chicago. Keep in mind that the query string is space-separated.
Pagination
By default, you will receive up to 100 results from endpoints that return lists. You may request fewer or step through pages of results using the per_page and page parameters. For example, per_page=10&page=3 indicates you would like records 21-30.
You may only request up to 100 results and requests for more will be capped.
As described in RFC 5988, a Link header field will help in paging through results. It will look similar to this:
Link: <https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/bookings?page=3&per_page=10>; rel="next", <https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/bookings?page=2&per_page=10>; rel="prev" <https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/bookings?page=7&per_page=10>; rel="last"The "_links" field of response bodies may also have "next" and "prev" links.
The following headers will be returned when paging is occurring:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| X-Pagination-Per-Page | The maximum number of records being returned per page |
| X-Pagination-Total | The total number of records |
| X-Pagination-Returned | The number of records returned for this request |
| X-Pagination-Current-Page | The current page |
| X-Pagination-Total-Pages | The number of pages in the result set when using the given per page limit |
Including or Limiting Fields
To keep the response payload to a minimum you can supply a fields parameter specifying only those fields that you wish to receive. The fields should be specified as a comma-separated list.
For example, to retrieve only the ID and geographic coordinates of a parking location, you might use something like this:
GET /v4/locations/2504?fields=id,entrancesYou can also retrieve all of the default fields with :default, in addition to any others you specify. This is useful if you need
a response field that is rarely used and not returned by default.
GET /v4/locations/2504?fields=:default,rating_summaryNamespacing fields
Fields can be namespaced to the object that they are referencing. The syntax for this is fields=object_name:field_name or fields=object_name::field_group_name for grouped fields. For example, getting the default fields and the rating summary on the location model can be done via namespacing the desired fields:
GET /v4/locations/2504?fields=location::default,location:rating_summaryIt is recommended to use namespacing whenever possible, particularly because namespacing is required when requesting fields on linked resources
Grouped vs singular fields
The fields parameter may accept fields that return only one attribute on a resource. For example, fields=event:site_url will cause only the site_url attribute on the event model to be shown. Other fields may cause multiple attributes on a group to be returned. For example, fields=location::address will show the attributes: address1, address2, city, state, postal_code, and country on the location object. By convention fields that yield a singular attribute use a single colon fields=object_name:field_name while grouped attributes use a double colon between the resource and the field group name fields=object_name::field_group_name.
Zooms
Zooms provide an easy way for a single request to return multiple related resources. Normally when requesting a resource additional API calls would be needed to fetch related resources as they are exposed in the _links field. For example, when searching for parking for an event API calls would be needed to retrieve both the event information and the associated venue information. By using zooms, all of this data can be retrieved in a single request and will immediately be available to the API consumer.
As described in JSON Hypertext Application Language (Draft 7), related resources are linked in the "_links" field.
{
"id": 2504,
"name": "120 N LaSalle Garage",
"reviews": { "href": "/locations/2504/reviews" },
...
"_links": {
"curies": [{ "name": "pw", "href": "https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/doc/{rel}", "templated": true }],
"self": { "href": "/locations/2504" },
"pw:reviews": { "href": "/locations/2504/reviews" }
}
}Related resources may be retrieved by using the zoom parameter to cut down on the number of API calls needed. You may use a comma-separated list to request multiple resources.
For example, GET /events/31727?zoom=pw:venue will retrieve the details for event with id: 31727. The Venue the event is hosted at will be contained within the _embedded field.
{
"id": 31727,
"name": "Anything Goes",
"venue_id": 382,
"start_time": "2011-04-29T19:00:00.000-04:00",
"end_time": "2011-04-29T22:00:00.000-04:00",
"_embedded": {
"pw:venue": {
"id": 382,
"name": "Stephen Sondheim Theatre",
"address1": "124 West 43rd St",
"city": "New York",
"state": "NY",
"postal_code": "10036",
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "/venues/382"
},
"pw:events": {
"href": "/venues/382/events"
},
"pw:quotes": {
"href": "/quotes?q=venue_id:382"
},
"curies": [
{
"name": "pw",
"href": "https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/{rel}",
"templated": true
}
]
}
}
},
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "/events/31727"
},
"pw:venue": {
"href": "/venues/382"
},
"pw:quotes": {
"href": "/quotes?q=event_id:31727"
},
"curies": [
{
"name": "pw",
"href": "http://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/{rel}",
"templated": true
}
]
}
}Many resources have default zoomed resources. If you want to ensure no embedded resources are included in the response, you may set zoom=:none.
Specifying fields on linked resources
The fields included on the linked resources can be specified as described in the including or limiting fields section. The key is to namespace the included parameters for the linked resource using the format fields=object_name:field_name or fields=object_name::field_group_name for grouped fields. Additionally, if display fields are specified for the primary resource, those fields should also be namespaced.
Note that purchase_options, ondemand_options, and non_bookable_options are all consolidated under the options object type when requesting fields.
For example, to show the site url of an event and the timezone for the venue that the event is hosted at use GET /events/31727?zoom=pw:venue&fields=event:site_url,venue:timezone. The response will include timezone for venue and the site_url for the event that is being retrieved.
{
"site_url": "/stephen-sondheim-theatre-parking/anything-goes-31727/",
"_embedded": {
"pw:venue": {
"timezone": "America/New_York",
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "/venues/382"
},
"pw:events": {
"href": "/venues/382/events"
},
"pw:quotes": {
"href": "/quotes?q=venue_id:382"
},
"curies": [
{
"name": "pw",
"href": "https://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/{rel}",
"templated": true
}
]
}
}
},
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "/events/31727"
},
"pw:venue": {
"href": "/venues/382"
},
"pw:quotes": {
"href": "/quotes?q=event_id:31727"
},
"curies": [
{
"name": "pw",
"href": "http://api.parkwhiz.com/v4/{rel}",
"templated": true
}
]
}
}Note that the GET /quotes endpoint does not support specifying fields on zoomed resources. Zooms can be applied to any endpoint and will load related data into the _embedded field of the response.
Envelope
If envelope=true is passed in the query string, the response will be embedded in the data attribute of the returned object and additional information will be returned.
For example, it might look something like:
{
"status":200,
"record_count":1,
"start_timestamp":"2013-12-02T19:31:35.5362308Z",
"end_timestamp":"2013-12-02T19:31:35.6299946Z",
"time_taken":0.0937638,
"data":[{
"payload" : "here",
}]
}The envelope may also contain information about the original request query. For a parking quote search from 6:30-9:30pm CST on December 28, 2015, given location_id 3939, the envelope may look like:
{
"status": 200,
"record_count": 1,
"start_timestamp": "2015-12-03T16:14:09.819Z",
"end_timestamp": "2015-12-03T16:14:10.081Z",
"time_taken": 0.262123,
"query": {
"location_id": 3939,
"start_time": "2015-12-28T12:30:00-06:00",
"end_time": "2015-12-28T15:30:00-06:00"
},
"meta": {
"start_time": "2015-12-28T12:30:00-06:00",
"end_time": "2015-12-28T15:30:00-06:00",
"coordinates": [
41.888460348494,
-87.628169593019
],
"count": {
"transient": 1,
"event": 0
}
},
"data": (Full quotes payload will be here.)
}Parking quote searches will also contain meta-information about the results in the envelope, such as the start and end times of parking, the geographical coordinates on which the search is centered (e.g. search coordinates, venue coordinates, or centroid of the search bounding box), and result counts grouped by quote type. For a GET /quotes by coordinate search, the envelope would look like:
{
"status":200,
"record_count":1,
"start_timestamp":"2013-12-02T19:31:35.5362308Z",
"end_timestamp":"2013-12-02T19:31:35.6299946Z",
"time_taken":0.0937638,
"query": {
"coordinates": [
41.860273,
-87.630049
],
"distance": {
"miles": 0.5
},
"start_time": 2015-12-28T18:30:00-06:00,
"end_time": 2015-12-28T18:30:00-06:00
},
"meta": {
"start_time": 2015-12-28T18:30:00-06:00,

"count": {
"transient": 1,
"event": 0
}
}
"data":[{
"payload" : "here",
}]
}Envelope functionality is available on all endpoints.
Errors
Responses to unsuccessful requests will contain an errors array, with each error object detailing what went wrong with the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| code | Error code used to identify the specific cause of the problem (e.g. for debugging), and to allow clients to conditionally respond to specific errors |
| uuid | Unique identifier of the error |
| status | The HTTP status code returned |
| message | This is a brief user-friendly description of the error. This can and should be shown to the user |
| details | optional More details may be provided in this field. This is for debugging and development purposes, and should not be shown to the user, nor should it be programmatically parsed and used |
| fields | optional If the error is related to validation of numerous fields, this will specify which input parameters were invalid |
Here is an example of a general error:
{
[
"code": "customer_unauthorized_api_key",
"uuid": "375a87d1-f5e3-441c-9a84-5285eb9f1fb5",
"status": 403,
"message": "You are not authorized to view this booking"
]
}This example shows what a form validation error might look like:
{
[
"code": "booking_quote_id_missing",
"uuid": "375a87d1-f5e3-441c-9a84-5285eb9f1fb5",
"status": 400,
"message": "A booking requires a valid quote",
"fields": ["quote_id"]
]
}Dates and Times
Searching
Dates and times should be formatted like the following: 2015-09-01T12:44 as specified in ISO 8601.
The API will infer the intended time zone based on the destination or parking location. If a time zone is specified, it will be ignored.
Responses
Date Time objects in API responses will be formatted like the following: 2015-09-01T12:44:00.000-08:00 as specified in ISO 8601
Formatting Conventions
- Coordinates lists passed to the API are always ordered as [latitude,longitude].
- You may omit the brackets for convenience
- Coordinates returned by the API are always ordered as [latitude,longitude] except where used for GeoJSON notation where they are [longitude,latitude].
- If your request includes a
pretty=trueparam, the response will be indented for readability
Locales and Translations
Locales can be used to retrieve translated content in our system.
Usage
A locale should be passed in with every request using the following header: X-Language-Locale. Supported locales currently include en-US, en-CA, and fr-CA.
Responses
If the locale is passed in correctly, the API response will return the header:
X-Language-Locale with the locale that was sent in the request.
If the locale is valid, and we have translated content for the requested data, we will send back the translated content.
Add-Ons
Add-ons are additional options that can be purchased alongside a parking quote retrieved from a call to GET /quotes.
Add-ons, if present, will be a part of the purchase option. Add-ons can either be required or optional.
If an add-on is required ("required" : true) then one of the options present must be sent along with the request to purchase in order to complete a transaction.
Required add-ons
Currently the only required add-ons are related to vehicle size. This allows parking to be purchased for Standard, Oversize, or Supersize vehicles. Each option in the add_ons collection represents one of these selections as denoted in the name field.
Note: To prevent accidental purchases of Standard parking we do not pre-select any required add-ons and require the add-on id to be explicitly sent alongside the request to book parking if vehicle_size add-ons are present in the purchase option. Not all purchase options will have add-ons.
Each vehicle_size add-on option will have the following:
nameto indicate the name of the add-onpriceto indicate the price of the add-onavailabilityto indicate whether this type of parking is available or notitemsthat represent what each option represents at that facility. As different facilities have different definitions of Oversize, and Supersize it's important to verify that the vehicle type you are selecting parking for is in the set of items for the option that you purchase.
The list of items is as follows: coupe, sedan, hatchback, wagon, crossover, minivan, suv, truck/van
In the example below you can see the Standard, Oversize, and Supersize add-ons.

...General Add-Ons
General add-ons are not required for purchase but are value-add services that can be selected with parking.

Purchasing Add-Ons
To purchase any add-on you include its id in both the call to preview and purchase in the add_on_ids field. This is a comma-separated list that can hold all add-ons that you would like to purchase. Note that only add-ons attached to a quote can be purchased.
Preview and Checkout
The following section contains a procedure for obtaining a price preview and booking details prior to checkout. To do this, you should first obtain Authorization Credentials, then obtain a Quote ID.
Get a Price Preview
To purchase a booking, you must first call preview and obtain a final price for the purchase. This preview includes the application of any user credits (if applicable), any manually entered coupons or user-specific coupons assigned to an account if the token used is from a logged in user. Users who are not logged in will not have credits or coupons auto applied. More details on the preview endpoint can be found here.
Request:
POST /v4/bookings/previews/
Authorization: Bearer 158020bea60d04a36c844e55d471f4237d7d45a8130b2f2aa75fbe9d6804ef4a
form-data; name="quote_id" b475180e-e7aa-42af-a736-f3c8d9ca4aa4
Response:
{
"user_credit_amount": {
"USD": "0.0"
},
"quote_price": {
"USD": "15.0"
},
"subtotal": {
"USD": "15.0"
},
"final_price": {
"USD": "15.0"
},
"coupon_amount": {
"USD": "0.0"
}
}This response includes all data necessary to inform the user of any coupons or credits used as well as the price that will be paid. When purchasing a booking, the final price must be added to the request. This price must match what the customer was quoted in preview. If the newly calculated price does not match what is passed, an error will be returned.
Make the Booking
The final price should be supplied to the booking's endpoint along with customer information. The booking response below will include all of the data necessary to show details about the booking. Please note the requested fields. If future access to the booking details are desired without authenticating as the user, an authorization code may be requested by adding the field booking: authorization_code. The booking response will then return an
authorization_code which will grant access to view the booking anonymously. If more information is desired about the location or seller, these can be added as zooms to the request.

}Endpoints
Price Quotes and Locations
Arrive provides the ability to search for parking at locations across the world. This API provides information on both the bookable parking spaces you can purchase through the API or the ParkWhiz website and apps, as well as the non-bookable parking locations that can be found using the BestParking website and apps.
Understand that the bookable purchase options and non-bookable rate information will often be different. Bookable inventory often has discounts, may have reduced operating hours, or other restrictions.
Please note that access to non-bookable inventory and drive-up rate information requires a license. Contact us for more details.
Required Scopes
It is required to use an authorization header when hitting the quotes endpoints. These endpoints are accessible via tokens with the scope internal, mobile, partner, or public. See the scopes section for more information.
Search for parking price and availability
GET /quotes
Retrieve a list of quotes.
Request

This endpoint allows a user to view all bookings that they have purchased and that have ever been shared with them, even if they then shared that booking with another user (see below for more context on booking sharing). The share_filter parameter allows the user to limit what bookings are returned based on the user's position in the current chain of booking shares. You can pass in multiple filter types and the endpoint will return all bookings that fit any one type you pass in.
| Filter type | Description |
|---|---|
original_purchaser |
This returns bookings you yourself purchased, even if you've then shared them with someone else. |
intermediate_transferer |
This returns bookings that have been shared with you, that you have shared with someone else, and that person has then shared the booking again. |
most_recent_transferer |
This returns bookings that have been shared with you that have then been shared with someone else, and that person has not shared the booking with anyone else yet. |
most_recent_transferee |
This returns bookings that have been shared with you, and that you have not shared with anyone else. |
As an example, if a booking was purchased by User A, who shares it with User B, who shares it with User C, who shares it with User D, who finally shares it with User E who keeps it for themself, this is what the chain would look like and what parameter each User would need to pass in to get the booking returned.
| User | Filter type |
|---|---|
| User A | original_purchaser |
| User B | intermediate_transferer |
| User C | intermediate_transferer |
| User D | most_recent_transferer |
| User E | most_recent_transferee |
If share_filter is not defined, this endpoint will default to original_purchaser,most_recent_transferee. So, in the example above, Users A and E would get the booking returned to them without having to pass in a sharer_filter value, and Users B, C and D would not.
Response
The response will be an array of booking models.

Booking Shares
Share a Booking
POST /bookings/{booking_id}/share
Allows the owner or current passholder of a booking to share access to that booking with another person (the recipient).
After a booking is created, the purchaser can choose to share access to the booking with a recipient. Once that recipient has accepted the booking share, the recipient can then share it with a third person, who could then share it with someone else, and so on.
The recipient of a booking share does not need to have an account on the service in order to access this shared booking. All that is required is an email address, so that we can send them a notification and link to the booking. You do however need an account to share a booking with another person.
Only the most recent recipient of a share for a booking can then share that booking with someone else. If you have already shared a booking with someone else, you would need to revoke your share and any shares further down the chain through the DELETE endpoint. After you've done that, you can then create a new share using this endpoint.
Request
Note: POST /bookings/{booking_id}/share requires a user authorization token.
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| Authorization | Bearer authorization token |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
booking_id |
Integer | required ID for the booking being shared |
email |
String | required Email address used to send the recipient a notification and link to claim the share |
preserve_booking_vehicle |
Boolean | If true, this endpoint will preserve the vehicle that is attached to the booking (defaults to false) |
Response
A successful response will be a new booking share model with a 201 status code.
Errors
| Status | Code | Message |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | param missing | This will be returned only if one of the required params defined above is not returned |
| 404 | booking_not_found | The booking ID provided doesn't link to a known booking, or belongs to a booking the user does not have access to |
| 403 | cannot_share_booking_already_shared | This booking has been given to another user. Revoke that share before sharing booking with new user. |
| 403 | cannot_share_until_current_share_accepted | This booking has already been shared, and that share must be accepted before it can be shared again. |
| 409 | booking_already_shared_with_user | The user you are trying to share this booking with already has access to the booking. |
Cancel booking share
DELETE /bookings/{booking_id}/share/#{booking_share_id}
This endpoint allows a booking's purchaser and any users who have been given access to the booking through booking shares to manage the current active share chain for the booking by revoking shares further down the chain from them. If a share is revoked, the user who created that share regains control of the booking, and then can share it with another person.
As an example, let's say a booking was purchased by User A, who shared it to User B, who then shared it to User C. User C cannot use this endpoint, because they haven't shared the booking with anyone. User B can revoke the share they created that gives User C access to the booking, at which point User B could then share the booking with another User D. User A can revoke the share from User B to User C AND the share from User A to User B.
Shares need to be revoked in ascending order - so in the example above, User A needs to revoke the share from User B to User C BEFORE they can revoke the share from User A to User B.
Request
Note: DELETE /bookings/{booking_id}/share/#{booking_share_id} requires a user authorization token.
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| Authorization | Bearer authorization token |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
booking_id |
Integer | required ID for the booking being shared |
booking_share_id |
Integer | required ID for the booking share being revoked |
preserve_booking_vehicle |
Boolean | If true, this endpoint will preserve the vehicle that is attached to the booking (defaults to false) |

Non-bookable Rates
Parking companies express rates in numerous ways.

For example:
[
{
"rate_period": {
"start_week_day": 0,
"start_time": "00:00",
"end_time": "00:00",
"end_days_later": 7
