Bradford Car Parks: Locations, Live Status, and Historic Availability

Resources from the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council Parking service. The collection includes a static list of car park names and locations, a live API feed updated every 3 minutes showing capacity and empty spaces for 8 city centre car parks, and a historic API feed updated every 30 minutes tracking the status of those same 8 car parks.

Use Cases

• Build real-time parking guidance applications based on the live status API feed.
• Analyze historical parking occupancy trends based on the 30-minute interval historic status data.
• Map car park locations and integrate them into navigation systems based on the provided latitude and longitude coordinates.

Strengths

• Live status data is updated every 3 minutes, providing near real-time information.
• Historic data is updated every 30 minutes, building a time series for analysis.
• Includes geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) for spatial analysis.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
