# FindParking

> FindParking provides live public parking garage availability, capacity, trends, and short-term predictions for Swiss cities.

## Start here
- Homepage: https://findparking.ch/
- City directory (JSON): https://findparking.ch/api/cities
- Zurich live parking (JSON): https://findparking.ch/api/cities/zurich/parking
- Zurich human-readable page: https://findparking.ch/zurich

## Data guidance
- Prefer the JSON endpoints for current availability and predictions.
- Always state the data_as_of or last_update time and the city's timezone.
- A null value means the source did not provide that field; do not infer zero availability.
- free is the current number of free spaces when reported.
- remaining_pct is the percentage of total capacity currently free.
- predicted_free_30 is a short-term estimate based on recent trends; it is not a guarantee.
- Cities marked live have current parking data. Other cities are planned or awaiting a verified source.
