REST / JSON API

Meaning:

A widely adopted, standards-based web API that uses HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and JSON payloads to expose individual data points and aggregates. Through a simple, modern interface it lets you:
  • Fully control chargers, transactions and schedules
  •  Directly start/stop charging sessions, query transaction history or set up reservation windows.
  • Integrate without EV-specific tooling
  •  Perfect for systems that already speak REST/JSON but don’t support OCPI—they can be up and running immediately, without learning OCPI’s domain-specific models.
  • Access richer detail where needed
  •  Retrieve granular session data, diagnostic logs or custom metadata that aren’t exposed (or are cumbersome to fetch) via the OCPI protocol.
  • Leverage a familiar developer experience
  •  Uses the same patterns as virtually every modern web or mobile backend, so your team can build and maintain integrations faster.
