Asynchronous Python client for the open datasets of Amsterdam (The Netherlands).
About
A python package with which you can retrieve data from the Open Data Platform of Amsterdam via their API. This package was initially created to only retrieve parking data from the API, but the code base is made in such a way that it is easy to extend for other datasets from the same platform.
Installation
pip install odp-amsterdam
Datasets
You can read the following datasets with this package:

Parking garages
Read the occupancy of a garage in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), both for day visitors (short-term parking) and season ticket holders (long-term parking). The dataset gives garages for 🚲 bicycles (we ❤️ bikes) and for 🚗 cars
NOTE: Not all garages have data for long-term parking.
You can use the following parameters in your request:
- vehicle - Filter based on the type of vehicle that can park in the garage (
car,bicycleortouringcar). - category - Filter based on the category of the garage (
garageorpark_and_ride).
| Variable | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
garage_id |
string | The id of the garage |
garage_name |
string | The name of the garage |
vehicle |
string | The type of vehicle that can park in the garage |
category |
string | The category of the garage (garage or park_and_ride) |
state |
string | The state of the garage (ok or problem) |
free_space_short |
integer | The number of free spaces for day visitors |
free_space_long |
integer (or None) | The number of free spaces for season ticket holders |
short_capacity |
integer | The total capacity of the garage for day visitors |
long_capacity |
integer (or None) | The total capacity of the garage for season ticket holders |
availability_pct |
float | The percentage of free parking spaces |
longitude |
float | The longitude of the garage |
latitude |
float | The latitude of the garage |
updated_at |
datetime | The last time the data was updated |
Parking locations
You can use the following parameters in your request:
- limit (default:
None) - Retrieve the full selection, or return at most this positive number of records. - parking_type (default: "") - Filter by the source
eType. - page_size (keyword-only, default: 1000) - Records per request, between 1 and 1000.
| Variable | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
spot_id |
string | The id of the location |
spot_type |
string (or None) | The type of the location (e.g. E6a) |
spot_description |
string (or None) | The description of the location type |
street |
string (or None) | The street name of the location |
number |
integer/float (or None) | Source capacity estimate; preserves unknown, zero and fractional values |
orientation |
string (or None) | The parking orientation of the location (visgraag, langs or file) |
coordinates |
list[list[float]] | Exterior Polygon ring, in longitude/latitude order |
geometry |
dict | Original GeoJSON Polygon including all rings, in WGS84 |
regimes |
list[dict] | All original regimes, including times, dates, days, exceptions and remarks |
version_date |
date (or None) | Dataset validity date; not a field observation or individual record update |
locations() returns a ParkingLocations result with records, total_count, pages_fetched and complete. Without a limit it retrieves the full selection; with limit=10 it returns at most ten records. pages_fetched excludes the final source verification request.
complete indicates that all records reported by the source were received, including a verified empty selection. Inconsistent pages or changing totals raise ODPAmsterdamError. This does not guarantee an atomic source snapshot or current parking availability; inspect regimes for restrictions.
Usage
import asyncio
from odp_amsterdam import ODPAmsterdam
async def main():
"""Show example on using the ODP Amsterdam API client."""
async with ODPAmsterdam() as client:
# Parking locations
locations = await client.locations(limit=5, parking_type="E6a")
# Garages
all_garages = await client.all_garages()
garage = await client.garage(garage_id="ID_OF_GARAGE")
print(locations.records)
print(locations.total_count, locations.complete)
print(all_garages)
print(garage)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
Use cases
A website that provides insight into where disabled parking spaces are, based on data from users and municipalities. Operates mainly in the Netherlands, but also has plans to process data from abroad.
Contributing
This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to use the code or contribute to it.
We've set up a separate document for our contribution guidelines.

Setting up development environment
The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub. By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.
This project uses uv to manage dependencies and the development environment.
You need at least:
- Python 3.12+
- uv
Installation
Install all packages, including all development requirements:
uv sync --locked
uv installs the locked dependencies into .venv.
Prek
This repository uses the prek framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the prek check, run:
uv run prek install
And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:
uv run prek run --all-files
Testing
It uses pytest as the test framework. To run the tests:
uv run pytest
To update the syrupy snapshot tests:
uv run pytest --snapshot-update
