Blink Charging

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.

Blink Charging publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Locations API, Search API, and Status API. Tagged areas include EV Charging, Electric Vehicle, Charging Stations, OCPI, and OCPP.

Blink Charging’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, product news, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/blink: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
