SpotHero API reference
Get SpotHero parking prices and availability as clean JSON: hourly and monthly parking near any point, and the lots around an event or venue, with walking distance and ratings.
The SpotHero API has 7 endpoints, called the same way: POST /execute with the endpoint ID as capability and its fields as input, or pin SpotHero in the MCP server and call each one as a tool. The data comes back as JSON in results[0].data, with what the call cost in billing.credits_charged.
The inputs you send most are event_id, event_url and latitude. Prices run from 1–2 credits to 1–2 credits per call, and a failed call costs nothing.

What to know
- Prices for your time window Hourly prices depend on the start and end you send, so send the window you need. Each facility has a base price and a total price, as SpotHero shows them.
- US and Canada SpotHero lists parking in the United States and Canada; prices come as SpotHero shows them for each place.
- Availability for your window Each lot says whether it can be booked for the window you send, at the moment of the call.
- Walking distance and ratings Distance is SpotHero's walking distance to your point or venue, and ratings are SpotHero's own.
