Questions

ParkWhiz API FAQ

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Still have a question? Talk to the people who build the endpoints.
Is there an official ParkWhiz API?

ParkWhiz offers an API to approved partners. Upscrape reads public ParkWhiz pages, so you can get prices, events and facilities with one API key.

Can I get event parking prices?

Yes. Send an event ID or its page to get the parking quotes around its venue for the event's time.

Do I need a ParkWhiz account?

No. You send a place and a time, an event or a venue and get JSON back. Nothing is booked.

What data can I get from ParkWhiz?

Hourly parking search, event quotes, monthly parking search, events search, parking facilities search, parking facility, facility reviews, smart, venues search, venue, event and metro hubs search. Each is its own endpoint with a published input schema, and the response is JSON.

How much does the ParkWhiz API cost?

Every ParkWhiz endpoint costs 1 credit per successful call. You buy credits once, with no subscription, and paid credits never expire. New accounts get free credits to try it.

Can an AI agent use the ParkWhiz API?

Yes. Connect any MCP client to the Upscrape MCP server with OAuth or an API key. The agent finds the ParkWhiz endpoint, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.

Is it legal to scrape ParkWhiz?

Upscrape reads public pages only and needs no login. How you use the data is yours to decide under the laws that apply to you; we sign a data processing agreement for your legal review.

What happens when ParkWhiz changes its pages?

We fix the endpoint. Your request and the response fields stay the same.
