OpenAPI Specification

info:
  title: Blink Charging & Status API (BlinkMap API) Locations API
  description: Modeled OpenAPI for Blink Network's gated third-party integrator program (marketed as the BlinkMap API), which returns Blink-compatible EV charger locations, hours of operation, and live network status. Blink's current developer page (https://prod.blinknetwork.com/developer.html) advertises the program but does not publish a full self-serve reference; access requires signing up with Blink to receive an API key plus a technical PDF reference and email support. The three operations below are modeled from a historical official Blink "API Map" PDF (dated January 2014, BLINK+API+MAP+20140128.1.pdf) that a long-standing third-party Ruby client (blink_api gem) was built against. Paths, parameter names, and response fields are NOT independently re-verified against Blink's present-day version - treat this document as a best-effort, sourced model rather than an authoritative current reference, and confirm directly with Blink before integrating.
