by ReadMe APIv1.1.13 - 24.05.2023
New Geosearch filter
New EVSE Ids filter which allows to search locations
by parts of EVSE Ids.
New EVSE Ids filter which allows to search locations
by parts of EVSE Ids.
New event types are available to inform about session stopping or failing.
This provides the possibility to rely only on events received from Drive API,
instead of repeatedly checking session's status.
More details on Events page.
We have created a setup designated for testing remote charging.
It allows to test both successful and error scenarios.
Details are described on Sessions page.
In compliance with latest OCPI versions we have added a 'contractId' field
to Charging Keys responses (activate, get and patch Key endpoints).
We will be gradually filling this field for existing Charging Keys and
starting to fill it for newly created ones, so for now it's mostly a placeholder
for upcoming changes.
Continuing improvements from last release, we are making the operator name even more user-friendly
by having a possibility to set a display name that is separate from our internal organization name.
This display name, if available, will be reflected directly in the
operator.name field of a location. We will also very soon set this name for major CPOs.
Operator name was not always readable and ready to be exposed to the end-user.
Automatic clean-up of this field was implemented (i.e. cleaning up company-postfix like "GmbH" or "AB").
Soon we will do further improvements to make this field even better for end-users.
Both Drive API and the Swagger docs have new URLs! The API of course stays available also on the current URL.
Swagger on the previous URLs is not up to date for now, we will try to bring it in line with the new URL, though
please try to switch to the new one provided below (only Stage version will be used from now on).
Hopefully new domains will make it easier to access the API and documentation and differentiate between environments.
Drive API URL: https://drive-api.plugsurfing.com/ (https://drive-api-stage.plugsurfing.com/ for stage environment).

We've added openNow, max_amperage and max_voltage
fields to geosearch results.
openNow flag state is based on opening_hours and is a helper
so the timezone-based logic does not have to be implemented on client-side.
Together with status field can be used to display charger status in a better way.
Geosearch-route search area was smaller
than expected based on distance field.
Now both external and internal chargers, supporting remote-charging,
have this feature enabled. Some CPOs are still disabled, because
the integration wasn't working as well as expected. We're
in contact with them to resolve any issues.
Solved the case-sensitivity problem for request headers that could result in unintuitive errors.
Charging Key - added an error handler for the charging key patch endpoint to return more details about caught errors.
