How to integrate with ParkVia?

Are you looking to automate your parking booking processes and improve efficiency? Integrating ParkFlow with ParkVia can be the solution you've been searching for. By seamlessly connecting these two platforms, you can fetch bookings from your ParkVia panel and import them into ParkFlow automatically. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to set up this integration.


Requirements:

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

- ParkCloud API Key: Obtain your secret API key from ParkCloud.net. This key will authenticate your requests when accessing ParkCloud's data. The API key is under the Operator API tab in the ParkCloud Panel.

- ParkCloud Developer Portal: Sign up for an account on the ParkCloud Developer Portal. This platform provides tools and services for integrating with ParkCloud.

- Approval from ParkVia: You'll need approval from ParkVia to connect your ParkCloud Developer Portal account with your ParkCloud.net account. This step ensures secure access to your data. Please contact (prefereable via email) your ParkVia Manager once registered to speed up the approval process. 

- ParkCloud Subscription Key: Once approved, copy the secret from your ParkCloud Azure account. This secret will be used to authenticate your requests to ParkCloud's API.

Setup:

The integration on ParkFlow.io is extremely easy.

1. Create the integration: Go to Settings >> Parkings and select your parking. Next, click on Integrations, click the Create button on the top right, and select ParkVia. 

2. Fill the fields:

- Parking: Leave it empty
- Key: Put here the ParkCloud API Key
- Secret: Put here the ParkCloud Subscription Key

Save the settings and then click the Test button on the right side.

3. Select parking

You can have multiple parking offers on ParkVia, create multiple integrations for each offer.

Each parking offer on the ParkVia website has a unique Parking ID that you must provide in the ParkFlow parking field. 
After running the initial test, the available Parking IDs should be visible in the Error section.

Put the parking number in the parking field. 


From now on, ParkFlow will automatically synchronize the ParkFlow with ParkVia.
