The APIs that we provide are primarily designed for high-fidelity data retrieval and the integration of kerbside intelligence into external systems such as GIS software, parking enforcement soltuions (ANPR), parking back office management, navigation apps, and fleet management tools.
Changes cannot be made via the API - the data pulled via the API is from the 'single source of truth' and is amended within our D-TRO software as opposed to the API.
Data can be retrieved via the API for inclusion in mapping applications in order to be reviewed alongside other complimentary assets and services, for example within highways asset/works management systems, central GIS applications, parking enforcement soltuions, parking back office monitoring tooling, parking notice processing software. - API documentation
