API

The same proximity search this site uses is also available as an interface with JSON responses. The basis is 117,662 charging stations with 211,253 charge points, as of 30 Sep 2026.

Looking for utilisation data? This interface serves master data – who built what, and where. How many charge points were actually free is in the site's own measurement series: occupancy dataset, as CSV with timestamp, weekday and hour.

A quick start

All charging stations of 50 kW or more within 5 km of Krefeld, pretty-printed.

Parameters

Parameter	Values	Meaning
lat, lon	decimal degrees	Required. Centre of the search, WGS 84.
radius	1 to 100	Search radius in kilometres, as the crow flies. Default 10.
page, per_page	number, per_page max. 100	JSON only. Page 1 answers faster with a reduced radius and flags that with `is_approximate`.
full_load	`true`	All matches in one response instead of page by page.
minPower, maxPower	kW	Limits for the strongest charge point of a charging station.
currentType	`ac`, `dc`	Standard or rapid charging station according to the register.
minChargingPoints	number	Minimum number of charge points.
connectorType	`Typ2`, `CCS`, `CHAdeMO`, `Schuko`	Several separated by commas, combined with OR.
payment	`free`, `card`, `rfid`, `online`, `plugcharge`, `cash`	Several separated by commas, combined with OR.
eichrecht	`verified`, `usable`, `reported`, `none`, `homoglyph`	State of the metering capsule public key in the register.
openNow	`open`, `always`	Opening hours. Careful: two thirds of the entries file nothing and drop out when this filter is set.
sort	`distance`, `price`, `best`	Order: by distance (default) or by the cheapest published ad-hoc price per kWh (results without a price come last), or `best`: recommended, from the best to the worst charging station, see `rating`. `livePoints` gives the status and price of each charge point as reported by the operator via the National Access Point.
minScore	`0`–`100`	Only results with at least this rating (0–100). The rating weights price 30%, power 21%, reliability 18%, other (visitor feedback, confirmed charging sessions, reports) 13%, billing (invoice checks) 10%, charge points 4%, calibration law 4%; distance and current occupancy are not included; closed, out of service, a reported fault or repeatedly suspicious billing pull it down sharply.
group	`park`	Group charging stations of the same operator within 75 m into one match. The others appear under `park.members`.
pretty	present	Output JSON indented.

Response

JSON answers with {"success": true, "data": {…}}. Under data you find:

results – the charging stations, sorted by distance
pagination – page, total, is_approximate
query – the parameters actually applied, including effective_radius
register – what the comparison against the register file produced: how many entries were added (added), matched (matched) and removed as withdrawn (retired)

What a match contains

Abridged; key details and charge points depend on what is on file.

Raw value and label sit side by side. Fields such as currentType, status, parking, payment and connectorTypes return the German register value unchanged – you can keep comparing against it. The fields with the Label suffix next to them carry the same information in the language of the request (?lang= or cookie). The same goes for details.openingHoursLabel, which exists as a label only.

Fields without data are present as null rather than missing: community, report and billing are only set if there is feedback, a report or invoice checks for this charging station. Free text from visitors is never returned.

Statistics as raw data

Everything on the statistics page is available here as JSON – for your own dashboards, apps, reports and websites in your own design, updated daily. Viewing and embedding as a frame is free on the statistics page; raw data requires an API key and subscription.

Limits and etiquette

The API is available only with an API subscription. This site's map is rate-limited and not meant for programs. Your program identifies itself with the key from your account, as an X-API-Key or Authorization: Bearer … header. The API subscription is booked via Stripe and costs 19.00 € per month with 10,000 requests included; each further 100 requests cost 0.10 €. Billing is monthly by the actual number of requests. Without a subscription the API answers with HTTP 402 and lists the prices in the pricing field.
The register status is the cut-off date, not today. All master data comes from the publication of 30 Sep 2026. A station commissioned yesterday is not in it.
Availability is not part of the export. It is only queried for the visible page of the search and comes from a third party whose terms of use do not allow passing it on.

Licence and attribution

The master data comes from the charging point register of the Bundesnetzagentur and is published under CC BY 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International). When reusing it, the attribution must read Bundesnetzagentur.de, as the Bundesnetzagentur requires on the dataset page.

Everything this site adds – the analysis of the public keys, the grouping into charging parks, the opening-hours analysis, photos and experience reports – you may likewise use with attribution to chargemyride.live. Photos come from visitors to this site; anyone reusing them elsewhere should do so with due caution.

Further endpoints

Address	What it returns
/publickey.php?station=…	Complete public key of a charge point, optionally as PEM (`&format=pem`). Also reachable via `?evse=`.
/geocode.php?q=…	Place name to coordinates, for the search form.
/station/<id>	Human-readable page of a charging station, with structured data (JSON-LD) in the head.
/sitemap.xml	All addresses of the site, separated by topic.
/feedback.php	Accepts feedback about a charging station by POST (`station`, `result`, `props[]`, `note`). At most 8 per hour and sender.

The register as a whole? For analyses a radius search cannot do – time series, fleet planning, municipal siting questions. Today the interface serves one radius per request.

One click, nothing more: no address, no account, no mail. All that is counted is how many people wanted it – that is what decides what gets built next.
