description: Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq BLNK) operates the Blink Network of Level
  2 and DC Fast electric vehicle chargers across North America and Europe, alongside
  brands acquired via SemaConnect, Blue Corner, BlueLA, and Envoy. Blink's charger
  hardware (Series 7/8/9) is OCPP 2.0.1 certified for CSMS interoperability, and in
  2025 Blink joined Hubject's Intercharge eRoaming platform as a charge point operator
  using the OCPI protocol so third-party e-mobility service providers can route
  drivers and billing to Blink stations. Blink also runs a gated BlinkMap API
  developer program (station locations, hours, and live network status) and a
  Blink Fleet platform that partners such as Presto and BetterFleet integrate with
  via API for fleet charging, sessions, and billing. None of these programs
  currently publish a full public self-serve API reference; access requires
  signing up directly with Blink.

  description: Gated third-party integrator program (marketed as the BlinkMap API)
    returning Blink-compatible charging station locations, hours of operation, and
    live network status - station map pins reflect Available / Charging / Unavailable
    states. Signing up with Blink provides an API key plus technical reference and
    email support; a public self-serve API reference is not currently published.
    The endpoint shapes modeled here (geo-radius Locations search, name-based
    Search, and per-location Status lookup) come from a historical official Blink
    "API Map" PDF (dated January 2014) referenced by a long-standing third-party
    Ruby client library; current field names and paths are not independently
    re-verified against Blink's present-day version and should be confirmed with
    Blink directly before integration.

  description: Blink Fleet is Blink's fleet-charging management platform for
    organizations running electric fleets (rental, ride-hail, delivery, government,
    transit). Blink states the portal "can be integrated into existing platforms
    via API," and partners including Presto (fleet roaming/payment) and BetterFleet
    (fleet SaaS) integrate driver charge-session discovery, charging, and payment
    through it. No technical base URL, authentication model, or endpoint reference
    is publicly published; access is brokered through Blink's partner program
    rather than open self-serve signup, so this entry is modeled at the product
    level (vehicles/drivers, charge sessions, billing/invoicing, reservations)
    rather than against confirmed endpoint paths.

  description: In September 2025 Blink joined Hubject's Intercharge eRoaming
    platform as a charge point operator (CPO), using the industry-standard Open
    Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol so partner e-mobility service providers
    (eMSPs) on Hubject's hub can discover Blink stations, authorize charging, and
    receive standardized OCPI-based billing/CDRs across the US, Canada, and Mexico.
    This is a B2B roaming interface brokered through Hubject rather than a direct
    self-serve developer API; Blink does not itself publish a public OCPI base
    URL, credential process, or version endpoint - integration happens through
    Hubject's platform-to-platform OCPI handshake.
