I am looking for open latitude, longitude data with information about parking lots.

I am looking for data or an API with an open source client library, using which I can specify a street name, and get in return information about legal parking lots on that street.

Especially parking lots in the country Israel, planet Earth.

    For which platform, operating system country, etc. Need a lot more information in your question. As it is an answer that the ERB3000XVX system runs on a quantum 3 supercomputer and correctly reports that the whole of Mars can be regarded as a parking lot. – Steve Barnes Jun 04 '15 at 16:53

  • I specified the requirements. You have a good sense of humor. –  Jun 07 '15 at 09:35
  • It seems like you are looking for library to build into your code? Then say so, please (don't let us play the detective who has to interpret that out of your It will be used in phone application.) –  Jun 07 '15 at 10:05
  • Yes, I am looking for open source library, using which I can specify street and it will return information about legal parking lots on the street. –  Jun 07 '15 at 11:13

  • @Undo To me this question (asking for a library) sounds more fitted to Software Recommendations than Open Data. Anyway, now it is here so I will transform this into an on-topic Open Data question. Sorry nni6 answers will be data, not software. I suggest opening a small discussion about this at http://meta.softwarerecs.stackexchange.com to see whether there are thing we can improve in our workflow.

  • @philshem make that an answer instead of a comment pls :) – Joe Germuska Jun 09 '15 at 19:56

Just to expand upon @philshem's comment: the OpenStreetMap API can be queried for tags (keys and values) like amenity=parking to find points of interest within a given bounding box or near a certain coordinate: an exemplary query (on overpass turbo, an interactive site to develop and preview queries) yields the following result:

Agree with @odjo.

For a commercial solution, check out https://coord.co/

Coord enables software applications to connect with transport options like ride-hail, bike-share, and car-share.
