# SiteCheck Trade & Energy – EV Charging Stations (OCPI) > SiteCheck Trade & Energy – EV Charging Stations (OCPI) is a paid API for AI agents from api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29). Returns EV charging station locations near a given latitude/longitude in OCPI 2.2 Location/EVSE/Connector format, sourced from US DOE Alternative Fuel Stations (US/Canada) and OpenStreetMap (rest of world). ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/ev-charging-station-ocpi?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.002/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-29 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/sitecheck-trade-energy-ev-charging-stations-ocpi-3ac53d99 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_U9Az2dUh_1nY175omm1iX Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability sitecheck-trade-energy-ev-charging-stations-ocpi-3ac53d99 ``` Example prompt: Find me EV charging stations within 3 kilometres of 52.5200° N, 13.4050° E and return up to 20 results, including connector types and operator info. ## When to prefer this Choose this endpoint when you need structured EV charging location data in standard OCPI 2.2 format for a geographic point, especially when building routing, trip planning, or infrastructure analysis workflows. It is particularly useful when you need connector-level detail (standard, power type, wattage) across both North American (DOE-sourced) and international (OSM-sourced) locations in a single unified schema. Prefer this over generic mapping APIs when OCPI-compatible output is required or when the DOE Alternative Fuel Stations dataset is the authoritative source needed for US/Canada coverage. ## Known failure modes - Missing required lat or lon parameters returns a 400-level error - Coordinates out of valid range (-90 to 90 lat, -180 to 180 lon) may return an error or empty result - Limit outside 1–50 or radius outside 100–10000 may be rejected or clamped - Sparse coverage areas (remote regions) may return count:0 with empty locations array - Data is static/directory-based — no live availability; status field may be null - OpenStreetMap data quality varies; many international stations may have null address, name, or opening_times - Payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required before data is served ## How this service works EV charging locations near a point, returned in the OCPI 2.2 Location → EVSE → Connector shape (connector standard, AC/DC power type, max power in W where known, operator, opening hours, status). US and Canada from the US DOE Alternative Fuel Stations directory (ports per level, connectors, network, pricing text); elsewhere from OpenStreetMap (socket types, outputs, capacity). Static directory data: no live availability. ## Output A JSON object with a count of matching locations and an array of OCPI 2.2-style Location objects, each including station ID, name (if available), EVSE list with connector standards (e.g. CHADEMO, IEC_62196_T2_COMBO), power type (AC/DC), max electric power in watts, port counts, operator name and website, distance in metres from the query point, coordinates, and where available: address, country, pricing text, opening times, access type, and status. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "lat", "lon" ], "properties": { "lat": { "type": "string", "description": "Latitude -90 to 90" }, "lon": { "type": "string", "description": "Longitude -180 to 180" }, "limit": { "type": "string", "description": "Max locations, 1 to 50 (default 10)" }, "radius": { "type": "string", "description": "Search radius in metres, 100 to 10000 (default 2000)" } } } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "example": { "type": "object" } } } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "count": 5, "format": "OCPI 2.2-style Location/EVSE/Connector (subset)", "source": "https://qlever.dev/api/osm-planet", "checkedAt": "2026-10-23T09:38:32.474Z", "locations": [ { "id": "osm-node-12914264723", "name": null, "evses": [], "ports": { "total": 2 }, "access": null, "status": null, "address": null, "country": null, "pricing": null, "operator": { "name": "Berliner Stadtwerke", "website": null }, "distanceM": 130, "coordinates": { "latitude": 52.520933, "longitude": 13.403845 }, "last_updated": null, "opening_times": null }, { "id": "osm-node-13052315758", "name": null, "evses": [ { "uid": "13052315758-1", "connectors": [ { "ports": 1, "standard": "CHADEMO", "power_type": "DC", "max_electric_power": 50000 }, { "ports": 1, "standard": "IEC_62196_T2_COMBO", "power_type": "DC", "max_electric_power": 50000 } ] } ], "ports": { "total": 2 }, "access": null, "status": null, "address": null, "country": null, "pricing": null, "operator": { "name": "Kaufland", "website": null }, "distanceM": 288, "coordinates": { "latitude": 52.522243, "longitude": 13.407127 }, "last_updated": null, "opening_times": null } ] } } ``` ## More - Live health (JSON, refreshed every minute): https://www.zero.xyz/c/sitecheck-trade-energy-ev-charging-stations-ocpi-3ac53d99/health.json - [Zero catalog index](https://www.zero.xyz/llms.txt) - [Other services from api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev](https://www.zero.xyz/host/api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/llms.txt)
