taipei-parking-query

Real-time parking availability in Taipei is queried from the official city API, which returns current occupancy status, capacity, and location data for cars, motorcycles, and buses across underground garages and street parking. Search by coordinates, landmarks like Taipei 101, or districts to filter results by distance using the Haversine formula.

Yes, the Skill accepts coordinates, well-known landmarks (e.g., Taipei City Hall, Ximending), and district names as input. It prompts for clarification if needed, then returns nearby parking lots with available spaces, address, phone, and payment information.

The API returns parking lot name, address, occupancy count, current status (available, moderate, full), phone number, and payment options. Data covers both underground and street parking across Taipei City.

The Skill supports car, motorcycle, and bus parking queries. You can specify vehicle type when searching, and results are filtered to show availability for your chosen vehicle category.

Distance-based filtering uses the Haversine formula to calculate the shortest geographic distance between your search location (coordinates or landmark) and available parking lots, allowing you to find the closest options efficiently.

The Skill uses requests for HTTP calls to the Taipei parking API and beautifulsoup4 for parsing responses. Both are Python libraries and must be installed before use.
