At the moment the following POI (Charging Station) data sources are supported as data adapters for the Charge Prices API:
- Chargeprice (Recommended)
- GoingElectric.de
- OpenChargeMap.org (Beta)
You need to integrate at least one of the above data sources to use the Chargeprice API and fetch prices.
We recommend the Chargeprice POI source, because it has the highest coverage and data quality.
Get familiar with your chosen API(s) before you continue with the next step.
Here you can find the documention of the Prices endpoint of the Chargeprice API. Since the API is designed to support multiple sources, the data of the chosen source now needs to be provided in the correct format.
You will need to map the data from the Charging Stations API to the following attributes in the Charge Prices API:
| Chargeprice (Charging Stations) | Chargeprice (Charge Prices) | Transformation |
|---|---|---|
| country | station.country | - |
| operator.id | station.network | - |
| longitude | station.longitude | - |
| latitude | station.latitude | - |
| charge_points.power | station.charge_points.power | - |
| charge_points.plug | station.charge_points.plug | - |
Set the data_adapter attribute also to "chargeprice".
You will need to map the data of Going Electric to the following attributes in Chargeprice:
| Going Electric | Chargeprice | Transformation |
|---|---|---|
| address.country | station.country | - |
| network | station.network | false -> null |
| coordinates.lng | station.longitude | - |
| coordinates.lat | station.latitude | - |
| chargepoints.power | station.charge_points.power | - |
| chargepoints.type | station.charge_points.plug | - |
Set the data_adapter attribute also to "going_electric".
You will need to map the data of OpenChargeMap to the following attributes in Chargeprice:
| Open Charge Map | Chargeprice | Transformation |
|---|---|---|
| AddressInfo.Country.ISOCode | station.country | - |
| OperatorID | station.network | convert to string: 23 => "23" |
| AddressInfo.Longitude | station.longitude | - |
| AddressInfo.Latitude | station.latitude | - |
| Connections.PowerKW | station.charge_points.power | - |
| Connections.ConnectionTypeID Connections.CurrentTypeID |
station.charge_points.plug | "ConnectionTypeID,CurrentTypeID", e.g. ConnectionTypeID: 27, CurrentTypeID: 30 => "27,30" |
Set the data_adapter attribute also to "open_charge_map".
Have a look at this example API request from OpenChargeMap and find the above attributes.
