A real-time REST interface that provides information on the parking situation in Helsinki.
Every parking area in the [dataset on parking spaces in Southern Helsinki] (https://hri.fi/data/fi/dataset/etela-helsingin-liikennemerkit-ja-pysakointipaikat) is indexed. The interface provides the number of parking spaces currently in operation in the area concerned.
The interface gathers information from parking ticket machines and all private mobile payment operators operating in Helsinki.

The interface does not provide information on, for example, resident parking, so the information provided is not a comprehensive picture of the parking situation in the area. If, according to the information available in the interface, the parking area is full, then it is certainly full, but if, according to the information available from the interface, there is space, it may not be true, because there may be, for example, resident parking or other parking that does not log into the systems.
