description: Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq BLNK) operates the Blink Network of Level 2 and DC Fast electric vehicle chargers
  across North America and Europe, alongside brands acquired via SemaConnect, Blue Corner, BlueLA, and Envoy. Blink's charger
  hardware (Series 7/8/9) is OCPP 2.0.1 certified for CSMS interoperability, and in 2025 Blink joined Hubject's Intercharge
  eRoaming platform as a charge point operator using the OCPI protocol so third-party e-mobility service providers can route
  drivers and billing to Blink stations. Blink also runs a gated BlinkMap API developer program (station locations, hours,
  and live network status) and a Blink Fleet platform that partners such as Presto and BetterFleet integrate with via API
  for fleet charging, sessions, and billing. None of these programs currently publish a full public self-serve API reference;
  access requires signing up directly with Blink.

  description: Gated third-party integrator program (marketed as the BlinkMap API) returning Blink-compatible charging station
    locations, hours of operation, and live network status - station map pins reflect Available / Charging / Unavailable states.
    Signing up with Blink provides an API key plus technical reference and email support; a public self-serve API reference
    is not currently published. The endpoint shapes modeled here (geo-radius Locations search, name-based Search, and per-location
    Status lookup) come from a historical official Blink "API Map" PDF (dated January 2014) referenced by a long-standing
    third-party Ruby client library; current field names and paths are not independently re-verified against Blink's present-day
    version and should be confirmed with Blink directly before integration.

  description: Blink Fleet is Blink's fleet-charging management platform for organizations running electric fleets (rental,
    ride-hail, delivery, government, transit). Blink states the portal "can be integrated into existing platforms via API,"
    and partners including Presto (fleet roaming/payment) and BetterFleet (fleet SaaS) integrate driver charge-session discovery,
    charging, and payment through it. No technical base URL, authentication model, or endpoint reference is publicly published;
    access is brokered through Blink's partner program rather than open self-serve signup, so this entry is modeled at the
    product level (vehicles/drivers, charge sessions, billing/invoicing, reservations) rather than against confirmed endpoint
    paths.

  description: In September 2025 Blink joined Hubject's Intercharge eRoaming platform as a charge point operator (CPO), using
    the industry-standard Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol so partner e-mobility service providers (eMSPs) on Hubject's
    hub can discover Blink stations, authorize charging, and receive standardized OCPI-based billing/CDRs across the US, Canada,
    and Mexico. This is a B2B roaming interface brokered through Hubject rather than a direct self-serve developer API; Blink
    does not itself publish a public OCPI base URL, credential process, or version endpoint - integration happens through
    Hubject's platform-to-platform OCPI handshake.
