Use the locations endpoint to retrieve a list of all locations or a specific location (using the location's id).

📘

Note

The location information is retrieved in bulk. Eco-Movement recommends that you retrieve the entire dataset once a day.

Request

See locations and locations/{id} to know more about the parameters that are used with the two versions of the locations endpoint.

Response

The following is a sample response for the locations endpoint:

{
    data: [ 
    
        { location 1 
            [
                { EVSE 1 
                    [{ connnector 1 },{ connector 2 }]},
                { EVSE 2 
                    [{...},{...}]}
            ]
        },
        
        { location 2 [{...}]},
        
    ], 
}

The following table describes the main objects in the response of the locations endpoint:

Main ObjectDescription
LocationA location is a group of one or more EVSEs that logically belong together. For example, all the charge points at a roadside service area.
EVSEAn EVSE is a spot where a single EV can charge. An EVSE may provide multiple connectors, but only one of these connectors can be active at the same time. This is similar to the various diesel and petrol nozzles present at a single dispenser.
ConnectorA connector is a specific socket or cable available for the electric vehicle.

🚧

Caution

Eco-Movement may send new attributes in our JSON response when we add an OCPI mandatory attribute to the JSON response to be OCPI compliant.

Response Definitions

The main objects consist of several OCPI attributes.
