ParkWhiz Monthly Parking API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: ParkWhiz / Arrive API v4
  description: >-
    The ParkWhiz v4 REST API powers parking discovery, reservation, and payment
    for the ParkWhiz and BestParking consumer products and for approved
    integration partners. It exposes bookable parking availability and pricing
    (quotes), parking locations, bookings and parking passes, venues and events,
    monthly parking, accounts, vehicles, payment methods, and tickets.

    Access is partner-gated: the API is publicly documented at
    developer.parkwhiz.com (mirrored at developer.arrive.com), but OAuth client
    credentials (client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri) are issued to approved
    partners on request via dev@parkwhiz.com, not through self-serve signup.
    Scopes are assigned per partner - public (default), partner, mobile,
    internal, and data. A sandbox environment is available for development.

    This OpenAPI document was authored by API Evangelist from the public v4
    developer documentation. Paths and methods reflect the documented API; the
    schema shapes are representative models, not a byte-for-byte copy of the
    provider spec.
