How do I book a parking spot via the API?

Use the book_parking action. You need the spot_id, start/end times, a valid payment method ID, and vehicle details (plate, make, model) in JSON format.

Can I compare prices for different spots?

Yes! Use search_parking to get a list of spots with their total costs, or use get_pricing to check the specific rate for a single spot over a duration.

How do I cancel a reservation?

Use the cancel_reservation action with the reservation_id. Check SpotHero's policy for refund timelines.
