aid: zapmap url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/zapmap/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Zapmap kind: company description: >- Zapmap (Zapmap Limited, company number 05960749, Bristol, United Kingdom) operates the UK's most comprehensive public electric-vehicle charging map and cross-network payment platform, covering 120,000+ charge points across 100+ charge point operators for 1.3 million registered drivers, and holds the Department for Transport contract to act as its electric vehicle chargepoint open data provider. It sits in the e-mobility data layer of the energy value chain, between the charge point operators legally obliged to publish open charge point data under the UK Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 and the drivers, automotive OEMs, fleets, e-mobility providers and government bodies that consume it. Its API posture is honestly commercial and closed: the Zapmap Spark suite (Search, Plan and Pay APIs) is described only on marketing product pages, with no developer portal, no public API reference, no machine-readable specification, no published authentication scheme and no self-serve signup — every route to access runs through a sales contact form and a data licence. The open data mandate in this market binds charge point operators, not Zapmap; the mandated open data that Zapmap aggregates is redistributed to DfT under contract and sold to the rest of the industry through the paid Insights product rather than published as an anonymous open feed. No consumer energy usage or billing API is offered — this is open-data-fed, closed-surface market data, with no consumer data right in play. accessModel: pricing: paid onboarding: contact-sales trial: false try_now: false public: false label: Paid · Contact sales confidence: high source: - https://www.zapmap.com/for-business/products/zapmap-spark - https://www.zapmap.com/data-licensing generated: '2026-07-27' method: observed image: https://www.zapmap.com/themes/custom/zap_map/assets/favicon/apple-touch-icon.png tags: - Energy - United Kingdom - EV Charging - Electric Vehicles - Charge Point Data - Mobility - Open Data - Utilities - Payments - Route Planning created: '2026-07-27' modified: '2026-07-27' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: zapmap:zapmap-spark-search-api name: Zapmap Spark Search API description: >- Commercial charge point search API returning Zapmap's aggregated charging location data for over 50,000 public charging locations across the UK and Ireland — location, availability status (in use / out of service), kWh pricing, CPO network, power output, plus enriched site facility and access information.
