wheelmap.org API

The Wheelmap is a map for wheelchair-accessible places. At www.wheelmap.org anyone can easily find places, enter and evaluate them via a traffic light system — worldwide. The map has been available since 2010 to help wheelchair users and people with other mobility restrictions make their day more predictable. There are currently more than 750,000 cafés, libraries, swimming pools and many other publicly accessible places. More than 300 new entries are added every day. The Wheelmap is also available as a free app for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. This allows the card to be used conveniently on the go via the smartphone. Wheelmap.org is a project of SOZIALHELDEN, a group of committed young people who have been developing creative projects since 2004 to raise awareness of social problems and eliminate them at best. More information can be found at www.sozialhelden.de. Developers can use our RESTful API to interact with wheelchair accessible place.
