Steps
Contact Flowbird's partner or B2B team to obtain API credentials and access to their mobility services sandbox environment.
Authenticate using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow and store the resulting access token for use in subsequent requests.
Query the zones endpoint to retrieve available parking zones near a location using geographic coordinates; each zone record includes zone code, tariff schedule, and maximum stay duration.
Start a parking session by POSTing the zone code, vehicle license plate, start time, and payment token to the session creation endpoint.
Retrieve session status using the session ID to confirm activation and display the active session timer and estimated cost to the user.
Extend or end the session via PATCH or DELETE methods on the session resource; retrieve the final cost and issue a receipt.
Known gotchas
Flowbird operates under multiple local authority contracts; tariff structures differ widely between municipalities — do not hardcode any pricing logic and always derive rates from the API response.
License plate format validation rules differ by country; ensure the plate format is validated client-side according to the target market's format before submitting to avoid session rejection.
Flowbird's API is partner/municipality gated and not publicly documented; endpoint paths should be treated as provisional until confirmed from official partner documentation.
